Emily's in Preschool Now!

Emily started Preschool on Tuesday. She would only let me take 3 pictures but offered to pose for an additional 3 pictures on the second day.

I was the parent helper for her class on Thursday and she's doing just fine.

Not-So Tiny Bubbles!

A couple weeks ago, we went to a bubble demonstration at the library. We really enjoyed the show and since there was a small crowd Professor Zap put each kid there in a giant bubble. I was very disappointed to not have my camera with me so we caught up with him at a different library. The second demonstration was packed and 1/2 of the moms there stood in the hall so I had low expectations of getting a picture this time. However, after the show, if you were willing to wait your turn, Professor Zap would put you in a bubble, his handle even broke and he kept going! Needless to say, we're big Professor Zap fans now.

Here Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty!

We brought home a couple of kittens from the cabin. Zack picked out an orange one because it looks like Cooper (his grandparents golden retriever). Cooper's now 6 months old!

Since I'm not positive of the gender of the kittens, I wanted to come up with some neutral namesHere is Salfy (for Salt Fork) and Zack snoozingand here's Mosby where Emily has decided he(or she) needs to be at the moment.

Kite Festival!

We went to a Kite Festival Cancer Benefit this weekend.

The weather was absolutely perfect for this event so we had a really wonderful time.This scuba diver is chasing a Nemo fish as he's being chased by a shark.

We thought it was super cool!

Happy Easter!

Zack's First Easter! Emily's First Easter!

Dentist Visit

The kids went to a new dentist last week. I'm very relieved that Emily approves of this one!

I loved how she let Emily assist her and outfitted them in gloves and masks.

St. Patty's Day!

Remember these?

Zack at about 3 months


Emily at about 4 months

Snow much fun!

Our weekend was packed with wintery fun!

On Saturday morning we went sled riding.

Zack had a blast and would hop on that sled head first.Then on Sunday we had a grand time at the Grandparents!

Uncle Kirky made forts and igloos!We had a snowball fight!


and built a snowlady named Laura. We started to build a
Keith but the kids were ready for lunch.

This is a snow version of E.T. we built at the grandparents.

My Media Darlings!

The kids were pictured in 3 different newspapers within a weeks time frame.

This is Zack and Emily in the Review.

The same photo of Zack was submitted to the Tribune.

And then Emily made an appearance in the Scope newsletter!

Candyland!

A couple of weeks ago, a local library hosted a Candyland Adventure Game so the kids and I stopped in there to play a round and collect some candy. The library submitted photos to a local newspaper and of course, Zack and Emily are worthy of the front page!

Makeup

Emily has been going upstairs to use the bathroom

and coming back down with some makeup on.

First it was lipstick

and then it was mascara.

I'm glad she didn't poke herself in the eye!


I think she's sporting a Gwen Stefani look!

She dresses herself...
