*Enjoying the beautiful weather*

Playing in her new sand table that Grandma Connie and Grandpa Dennis bought her for her birthday..... with PURPLE sand... crazy! What will they come up with next?

We had a blast at Emma's 3rd B-day party. It was freeeezzzing outside...well pretty chilly...and VERY windy but we managed. I had originally planned on just having a basic birthday party.. but Zack and I decided to take Emma to the party store... and well.. as you can tell, we ended up with a Curious George birthday party. We danced, played with sidewalk chalk, had a scavenger hunt finding gold rocks and painted.

happy mother's day!

Nothing new going on around here. Dennis and Connie are coming to town on Thursday for Emma's birthday weekend. I can't believe that Emma is going to be 3 years old already! We still have lots (well, everything!) to get ready for her birthday party. Hopefully all goes well. We finally have new neighbors and they have two little boys... one is a month younger than emma and the other boy is 2 months older than gracie so we are super excited to FINALLY have neighbors....kids at that as well. Happy Mother's DAy to everyone! We are off to find some $5 crocs at Payless for the girls.
