Sydney's Field Trip Day!

Sydney's field trip was to Purina Farms this year.  She was running late for the bus and I didn't get to take her picture at home, so I drove up to school to see her off.  Also, she left in a hurry right after I had fussed at her for spitting on the floor after she got suncreen in her mouth.  So, I needed to hug and kiss her and let her know I loved her and wanted her to have a fabulous day.

Here she is with a bunch of her friends in Miss Reside's class.  She wore this hat knowing that she would be responsible for keeping track of it and she did!
 

 

 

 

Take Your Daughter to Work Day!

Kathryn on her way to work with Daddy!  She has been looking forward to this day for a long time! 


She enjoyed her time with Daddy and her highlight was lunch!  I ended up picking her up around 1 since Daddy had meetings ALL afternoon!

Sydney ready to catch the bus!

Some wild woman who stopped by our house that morning!  :)

 

 

Zachary's Playground is 5!

We attended the 5th Anniversary party of Zachary's Playground on April 21st.  It was fun to celebrate with the Blakemore's and take part in the festivities.  There was cake, Lowe's craft projects, a scavenger hunt, the Reptile guy, and the balloon guy!
 

 

 

 

 

EASTER!

We had a very early Easter morning!  The girls were very excited to see what was in their baskets!  I think this picture is funny because their baskets are directly behind them and you can't even see them in the picture!  I wanted to try and take another picture but everyone was too eager to dig in! 

The Easter Bunny had hidden eggs in our backyard!

 

We had a nice morning at church and then came home to enjoy the rest of the day. 
For Easter dinner, we had ham and cheese sandwiches!  It was requested by the girls, so I happily obliged.
 

Easter Eggs!

We dyed eggs on the Thursday before Easter.  The girls had lots of fun being creative with their eggs.

 

 

 

The Saturday before Easter we took the girls to another Easter Egg hunt, this time it was in Dardenne Prarie.  It was super crowded and crazy, but the girls had fun.  Reagan found a ticket this time and she won a little car.

 

Spring Break 2012

We did not travel for Spring Break so we found some fun things to do around here!  On Monday we went to a new (to us) park in Dardenne Prairie and the girls went rock climbing with Mike at Upper Limits in Maryland Heights.  They took a class and learned how to belay, tie knots, and properly communicate while climbing. 
 

 

On Tuesday we took Reagan for her last swim lesson at the RSC and had lunch at ChickFilA.  During the afternoon the girls went to Noah Page's house.

On Wednesday, Kathryn went to her friend, Brooke's house and Sydney had two friends over, Gia and Erin. 

Getting Ready for Easter!

We had a lot of fun getting ready for Easter this year.  We had lots of fun decorations and had fun learning about our Savior, his Crucifixion, and his Resurrection.  We really enjoyed watching the LDS Bible Videos on lds.org. 
 

 

I took the girls to an Easter Egg Hunt in Wentzville, MO.  Kathryn found a ticket in one of her eggs and won the movie, HOP! The weather was beautiful!  We wanted to get there very early so I got up early and made breakfast burritos and we ate them once we got there. 

 

 

 

 

Baby Shower!

My sweet friends threw me a baby shower since I'm finally having a boy! It was fun to get together with so many friends!  This baby boy is going to be one sharp dresser!

 

 

Camping at Bennet Springs State Park

We squeezed in a camping trip this Spring before I get too uncomfortable AND before we have a newborn! We went to Bennet Springs State Park near Lebanon, MO.  It rained a few short times, but overall the weather was really nice.  We love having our pop-up camper!  The girls had a lot of fun playing in the dirt and leaves!



They have a trout hatchery in the park and we fed them some fish food.

The water is only about 3 feet deep, so they didn't have any guard rails.  The girls had fun walking across the grates from side to side.

 

A Visit from Nonnie!

Nonnie came to stay with us for 2 weeks while Mike was in China for work.  She had fun spending time with the girls and trying to win over Reagan! Kathryn loved to play UNO with her and Sydney practiced reading to Nonnie.


We attended the Literacy Night at school and Sydney dressed as Fancy Nancy. I tried to talk Kathryn into dressing as the girl from A Bad Case of Stripes, but she didn't want to. I was going to paint her and everything! There is always next year!

 

Kathryn showed us some of her artwork that is displayed in the hall.

We went to Brenden's Playground!
