March Recap

March has been a month full of parties! Ellie turned 6 and had her party at the gym...

... Russ joined in on the fun - since him and Ellie share a birthday, he figured it was partly his party too.

On his actual birthday, we served Russ breakfast in bed

 and later that night, my family got together and celebrated all the birthdays in the month of March: Auburn, Russ, Ellie, and Kaitlyn.

The little girls put on a dance recital for us. (Ellie's costume was the best!)

For a Spring Break treat, we took all the kids to the zoo. It was fun to have Tayler, Kaitlyn, and Sophie with us for the first time... even though Sophie missed out on most of the fun since she was sick and sleeping.

Next up - Russ, Noah and I joined the Hess family in Palm Springs for a little getaway hosted by Megan. We had such a fun time hangin with them and playing games, laughing, eating junk food, shopping, and swimming!!

We got to spend part of Kaitlyn's birthday with her and did something special... go out to eat, somewhere other than fast food! The Red Robin waitresses sang to Kaitlyn and gave her free ice cream for her special day.

Kaitlyn also chose to go swimming during her birthday weekend. The kids had fun in the water but I was freezing as it was on the chair. So instead I snapped some pics...

We had our families over for a party Sunday night to celebrate Kaitlyn for one more day. I never got my camera out but it was a happenin party... or at least it felt like it with about 30 people in my little house!

Finally, Noah has had his first 2 t-ball games and they are so much fun to watch. He was so proud that he got 3 "home runs" during the first game (since he was the last batter and got to run all the bases every inning). I also overheard him tell his dad on the phone that his team got "3 TOUCHDOWNS all because of me". LOL!

Go #12!

It's been a fun & busy month - but we're ready for April! Uncle Brad comes home in less than 2 days - Noah is having a countdown.
