Ginger's Party

The other day Addie decided to throw a birthday party for her doll Ginger. 

The kids decorated the house with ribbons.

We played pin the tail on the elephant.  You can tell that's an elephant, right?

And what's a party without gifts?

Addie had Cam help Ginger open her presents ...

so she could keep track of the gifts.

What a party!  I think Addie should add event planner to her list of future career goals.

Three?

David did Addie's hair before swim class last Friday.  Addison (and Dave) were very proud of her three ponytails.

Critter Clinic

The kids opened up their own animal/train clinic the other day.  Addison's current list of future professional goals include: veterinarian, nurse, dietitian :), dancer and hair stylist.  I'm not sure what she'll end up doing but I am quite certain she will be the boss within her chosen field!

Too Cute

Just had to share a cute pic I captured while we were waiting for the doc at Cam's 3 year check-up.

Sissy

This morning I was talking to Camden about the new gymnastics class he and Addie would be starting next week.  After explaining what gymnastics meant I threw in the fact that he and Addie would be in the same class.  Cam said, "Oh good, I won't have to be scared if sissy is there with me." 

Change

I've never been a big fan of change.  It makes me sad.  I like continuity, I love the good in my life.  Over the years I've become more accepting of change.  Looking back I can see the good that follows change almost always outweighs the not so great.  But as a mom change is rough.  It's hard to let go.  Thankfully, Addie reminds me how sweet change can be.

Remember the first day of preschool?

Here's the last day.

Happy Birthday Cam!

First Birthday

Second Birthday

Third Birthday

Happy Birthday little man, we love you!

Wedding Picture

This morning while we were getting ready Addie decided to put on some jewelery and makeup.  Not wanting to be left out Camden asked if he too could have some makeup for the day.  Of course Addie obliged.  Once they finished Addison asked me to take a "wedding picture" of her and Cam.

Museum Fun

Last week we took Papa Dave to play at the Arizona Museum for Youth. 

Painting and exploring in the garden

The highlight of the day was taking  Papa Dave on his FIRST airplane ride!

Mondays with Cam

Last week was my last Monday alone with Cam this school year.  To celebrate we picked up some new outdoor paints.  I still can't believe that come August both Addie and Cam will be in preschool - ALLELUIA!

Doc McStuffins

Have you seen Disney's new program Doc McStuffins?  The kids love it and I love that they're enjoying taking care of eachother just like Doc.

Easter Rewind

On the way to church Easter morning Addison said - Mom I think church is just for adults.

I replied - What makes you say that?

Addison's response - Well I just don't understand a THING they say during chruch!
