Memorial Day Weekend

We had a nice Memorial Day weekend to kick off summer 2014! :)  
Makenzie was excited because she had a 3 day weekend plus she was going to her first slumber party on Saturday night!  She was so excited..she talked about it all week!  
Well....Saturday around 4 she started to complain about her ear hurting....and the party started at 5!  
So I gave it a few minutes and then I was pretty certain she had an ear infection.
So I quickly took to her the walk in and yes she had an ear infection
 but she was set on still going to the party.
So I thought maybe drop her off at the party a little late b/c at this point it was already like 6 but just pick her up around 9:30 instead of spending the night b/c I was afraid of her ear hurting throughout the night.
That was the plan but Kenzie was having so much fun with her little friends that I figured she'd be fine throughout the night...and she was!  No midnight call to pick her up! :)
On Sunday we had one tired little 5 year old!!  
And boy was she grumpy!  :)
I was tired of her miserable attitude so I told her to sit on her bed in her room for a few minutes
 and she went to sleep right away!
But after the nap she was back to her happy self again...phew!! :)
So we played "breakables"....
She loves these!  
Grandma Moebs gave them to her when they were moving 
b/c Kenzie would always play with them at their house.

And when little sissy woke up from a nap we took a walk to the ball flats...
This little one is too silly.... :)
 On Monday we started the day at the parade....
Jo loved it ...she pointed to everything!
And after we went to see Abbie since it was her birthday! :) 
The kiddos had a lot of fun in the sprinkler! 





 And on Tuesday Jo was still feeling patriotic and waved her flag during our morning walk! :)

Let's Party!

Tis' the season for birthday parties! :)  
May & June are busy months for birthdays around here! 
A couple weeks ago we went to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate Abbie's 6th birthday with Abbie and some of Abbie's friends from her school!  :)


Last weekend we traveled up to Syracuse to celebrate Brayden's 4th birthday!
I can't believe he's 4! :)
We brought Abbie along! :)
These two love each other but wouldn't ya know it....
they started arguing the minute we got into the car!
We seriously weren't even out of the driveway yet! 
Silly girls...
They are like sisters! :)

Kenzie loves face paintings!!  
Little Jo had a lot of fun running around being a crazy girl! :)

 Sweet little Olive...
Kennie & Abbie LOVED this fishing game!
Kennie still talks about it! :)

 Apparently this is fun...
b/c she did it non stop! :)
 Unfortunately I was getting over some nasty cold so I wasn't able to hold this sweet girl...

Mother's Day

 I love Mother's Day!  
I love being a mommy so naturally this day is awesome! :)
My Mama's day celebration started on Friday in Kenzie's school for Mother's day tea!
I had to work last year so I was very excited to get the chance to enjoy some tea & goodies with my big girl!
Makenzie was very excited too....
until I got my phone out to take pictures! :(
....and she was mortified when I took a selfie of us! :)
The kindergarteners read a sweet little poem to their mom's at morning program! :) 
They are just so cute!
And I was spoiled with goodies!! :)  
My favorite kind of gifts! 
 On Sunday we went to church and saw my mom for a little bit before she went up to Syracuse 
and then out to lunch at Sonic.  
We went back home for a nap for Jo and Jeff cleaned up while I relaxed!!!!  Yay :)
Jeff & the girls surprised me with flowers, chocolate, a balloon, and this giant card....
After Jo's nap I took the girls to the playground while Jeff started dinner on the grill! Yum!



 I can't believe how old this one is getting.... :( 
It was such a great day....love my little fam! :)

Instagram

Some of these pictures from IG go back to beginning of April even maybe the end of March 
so you can see a change in temps as you scroll down! 
We've had a crazy spring...although we finally have some nice weather now it started a little cold!
We have had beautiful weather for the past few days high 70s and sunny and I see 80s in the forecast coming up next week! Yippie summer is on the way! :)  

Not everyone will be interested in this info but....
big girl Jo went poo poo on the potty last week!!! 
We were pretty happy! :)
 I was making Kenzie's bed while she was at school and I found this little note...
 This little one is always up to something...
such a cute little stinker!

 Walking to the store in the rain! 

 A few Fridays ago we went to our schools "screen free" family fun night...
Makenzie was so excited to get her face painted like a tiger...
 Jo Jo wouldn't stop staring at her at first! 
 Kenzie and one of her friends Naomi....
 Our little kitty cat enjoying the sun...


 Seriously, I just love these two so much!!
 Kenzie drew this picture of SpongeBob & Mr. Krab the other day....
I was so impressed!
She definitely got her artistic ability from daddy...
 Too. Cool. :)
 Jo loved this bunny!
And I'll leave you with this...
Jo has started the terrible 2's early! :)  
I had to snap this pic with my phone...
Josie was in the middle of a tantrum and stayed this way for a few minutes..
she's too funny!
