Alexa Loses a Tooth!

Finally-Alexa lost her first tooth. She has had two very loose teeth for a couple of weeks and one of them finally came out this morning. She really wanted to lose it at school, because you get a special treasure box, but she lost this one home. Mommy and Daddy were happy that we got to be there for this very exciting event. Hopefully the second one will fall out at school-the tooth fairy may have to do double duty tonight!

Fun at the Park

The weather was beautiful this weekend and my grandmother and cousin were visiting. They brought along my cousin's daughter, Micah whom my children love. The girls were so excited! They all went to the park and we visited chocolate world in Hershey. Daddy and Gregory had to stay home, because they were sick and daddy was very tired. We had lots of fun, but we missed them a lot. They had a sleepover at Jackson's house and this was the highlight of the weekend. If only Micah lived a little closer!

Bike Riding and Skating

We have finally had some nice weather and we could go outside and play. The kids have been asking for weeks to ride bikes and play outside, so they were very excited-especially to be able to wear short sleeves. Alexa practiced roller blading, as did Madelynn and both of them rode their bikes. Alexa learned to ride without training wheels last year, so hopefully this year we can teach Madelynn. Gregory surprised us all by getting on his "bike" and pedalling away. I am so excited that he can finally pedal.

Variety Show Practice

Alexa is going to be a part of the variety show again this year. Her group is going to be singing an Irish Unicorn Song. It is so cute and she is so excited to be a cat. Last week we had the group-13 1st graders to our house to practice. Aside from being a little crazy, the kids practiced hard and did a great job. They did have the chocolate cupcakes as motivation!

Happy Birthday Zoe

Madelynn's best friend Zoe had a gymnastic birthday party. Alexa and Madelynn had a great time. They got to do gymnastics for about 45 minutes, which they thought was great. They then had snacks and cookies-buttermilk cookies-Alexa's favorite! Gregory slept through almost the entire party and was woken up by all the little girls. He had fun running around with Luke and getting lots of attention from all the little girls!

Happy Birthday Wyatt

We all went to Wyatt's birthday party. Wyatt always has very fun birthday parties and this was no exception. The kids had homemade play dough and slime to play with. They had the gym to run around in and boxes to crawl through. The food was enjoyed by all, mommy especially enjoyed the homemade coffee ice cream. Gregory loved running around with big kids and he made a friend. One of Wyatt's cousins ran around with him and played with him the whole time. He loved this! The kids went home tired and full-What a fun night!

Roller Blading

Greg, the girls and I went roller blading/roller skating with Alexa's school. It was the first time Maddy had skated at a rink and only the 2nd time for Alexa. Mommy and Daddy hadn't skated in years. We had a great time. The kids loved it and Alexa was quite skilled for only having done it twice. It was actually her first time on roller blades and she loved them. She decided she wanted to skate for her birthday, so we are now having a roller skating birthday party!
