Ok so I totally forgot to post the most exciting event from our really fun and busy week. Olivia's ballet recital!! This was her second year dancing and she did such a good job. She loves it. it was fun and cute. Recital was a western theme "Renee's Roundup". It was great.

Celebrating with the boys

Ok, our next adventure for the week: a carnival! We went to this carnival two days in a row, because the first day we were there, there was a tornado warning and they closed it down. (as a side note, there was so much rain when we got home, it was like rivers of water running down our parking lot. We were safe from the storm though). So we went back the next day and the kids got to have more fun. Oscar won them each a prize and they got to go on fun rides. It was so muddy, but so fun!

Our next adventure this week was the pool opening! That was fun, of course. The kids got to go to a park too (that's where the fountains were).

We got to do lots of things this week. The kids have been sick for a couple weeks with everything from pink eye to first tooth to pneumonia. So this week was great and we got to do lots of things with the kids. We started at the farm. It was fun because we haven't been in a while, and a lot of stuff that we helped plant was up and that was cool for the kids to see.

You can see his lisp here. I love it!

The other day we were walking around the lake and Olivia asked me if i thought she would EVER get suck in a spider Web, (stuck meaning the way a fly would get stuck). I told her no and explained that it kind of feels like a strand of hair and you brush it off and you're ok. She replied, "that's interesting, I thought I would get stuck." I just thought it was funny that her sweet innocent, child like question was followed by such a grown up response as "that's interesting"

Jacob is such a big boy! He learned how to climb out of his crib, so we moved him into a "big boy bed". He's in Olivia's old toddler bed now. He does so good in it, he doesn't even get out. He just goes right to sleep. It seems so big. I'm proud of him. He wants fire truck bedding for it. Here's his first night in it.

He looks like such a big boy!

We've had a few fun things going on here in St. Louis the past few weeks. We got back out to the farm and started planting-the kids got to plant several veggies including lettuce, snow peas, carrots, potatoes, and Swiss chard. We always have fun out there, it's also a great experience for the kids and me! Then we got a huge snow 2 weeks ago-got stuck the first day and went sledding the next. Easter came, we got to go to the zoo. Spring is here! It's warm and everything is getting green and colorful and blossoming!

We love the snow!

He had soooo much fun!

They're "roasting marshmallows" Kids are so creative

Such good friends!
