Mom's Birthday

Mom and Dad came over after their dinner out so we could sing Happy Birthday and enjoy some cake with them. Mom's favorite cake, a Pepperidge Farm Vanilla, is a yearly staple :)
Happy B-day, Faggles! We love you so much :)

Hot Air Balloon!

On the way to my parents house the other night, we drove by the plaze near them and saw this in the parking lot. We stopped to check it out thinking maybe we'd get to see it take off, but they were taking it down. We didn't stay for the whole thing, but it was definitely cool to see the balloon up close - it was a first for all of us! Noah really enjoyed it :)

Playdates

Me and the girls have been enjoying having playdates every Tuesday with the moms and young kids of our church. A couple weeks ago we had the group to our house and the girls all decided to dress up -

Phoebe, Noah, Else, Audrey

And a little squeeze. :) These girls are so cute together :)
Phoebe is 5, Noah is 3, Else is one year younger than Noah, and Audrey is 2 weeks older than Noah :)

Babies.

Look how cute they are!



Everyone says it goes so fast when they're little...they ain't wrong.

Noah's recital

I took a video of the class performing for the mom's in class - Noah wasn't that into it this day - I'll try to post the actual recital video on here soon. It's on my video camera (this one is from my point-n-shoot) so I haven't attempted to load those on the computer yet...could be interesting.
Anyway - the recital went really well. Noah's class, being on of the youngest groups, was adorable and well received :) They did shockingly well!! Better than I would have ever guessed - Noah LOVED it and wasn't shy at all. Shocker, right?? NO. She said she wanted to do it again :)
Here's the video - their dance was to "Still Rock and Roll to Me" by Billy Joel.

And here are some photos from the recital day. I didn't take any photos while she was performing - I was holding a very tired Jocelyn and dancing around the music on the sidelines...ahh the life of a mother :) Noah's recital started at 7p (and kicked off with an hour of nonsense about the history of dance - seriously, who cares about that?!?!?) so Jocelyn was exhausted by the time Noah performed. But it was so cute, because Jocelyn has heard Noah's music about 100 times from being in her class, when it started playing at the recital she perked right up and watched the ENTIRE dance. :)

Some flowers from Daddy :)

My family came over afterwards -

And Noah played weird games.


Can you believe Noah is old enough to be in dance recitals???

Popsicles and Cookies

Jocelyn usually doesn't get dessert but the other night she her OWN popsicle :) Made her little day.


The girls LOVE their morning juice - they just looked so sweet sitting next to each other the other morning...


Noah loves helping in the kitchen - we made cookies the other day. Coconut macaroons :) Delicious - and Adam can eat them!

Valentine's Day

We had a very mild Valentine's day this year. Adam had to work so he surprised me with a gift the night before - flowers, this necklace that I love, and some of my favorite candy- sour patch kids and Reese's pieces. We picked out a couple pink puppies for the girls - just a small fun gift for them. They both love dogs right now (Jocelyn's favorite word is "moo-moo"- in reference to Lisa's puppy).
Just a few pictures...
Jocelyn had more fun with the bows than the puppy...
