Watch out Mia Hamm!??!

Yesterday David took the girls out front to play a little soccer...it lasted about 10 minutes!

Kate going for the goal.

Meg making her moves...

GOALLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(note Kate strategically guarding the goal...I think she's using the extra pair of eyes in the back of her head) :-)

Meg then decided that the orange cones were not to her specifications and the need to reorganize them was immediately under way.

OK...well maybe not Mia Hamm, just yet!

Messy Play

This past Friday the girls had fun at a friends house doing what their mom called messy play. I call it thank god it wasn't at my house play!! :)

Megan really getting into the shaving cream fun.

This was as the only shaving cream Katelyn would allow on her face. She liked the baking flower and water table more!

Swinger

I always knew she was a swinger!!

OK...OK!!

Meaning:

A person who is lively, exciting, and up-to-date!!!

Made you think....think it was the other one! hahaha NOT! :-)

Weekend Getaway!

On Friday,we decided to play hookie from work and have an extra long weekend. So with the girls and my Dad & Mom we headed up to Solvang and Santa Barbara for a nice weekend...and had a blast!!
Kate and Meg hanging out at one of the fountains in Solvang

A wonderful new park in Santa Ynez just outside of Solvang

On Friday evening we went into Los Olivos and had a nice dinner at the Los Olivos Cafe.

On Saturday we visited the Santa Barbara Mission

The girls really got into that!!

Friar Meg!

Friar Kate!

It was nice just to getaway and smell the roses!

Cruz 'in!

On Saturday David taught the girls how to cruz on Josh's skateboard...Megan really got into it.

Katelyn was a little unsure about it but loved it when daddy sat on the board with her!

Katelyn then decided that ridding her trike was easier!!

Say CHEESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All in all a fun Saturday afternoon in the backyard.

Fun Easter Weekend

On Saturday the girls got to go on a second Easter egg hunt and had a great time!

Between the two of them they collected 122 eggs and won the big prize in their age group

Brian, Oma-Oma, Oma, Josh, Opa, Kate, Meg, Dani, Mike

On Sunday after church we had Easter brunch with my family then went to my sister-in-laws house to spend sometime with David's family.

Great Grandma Grace, me, Kate and Meg

Grandma & Grandpa with the girls!

Easter Egg Hunt

Come on Mom...bring on the Eggs!
Kate brought her ears and attitude and was ready to rock the park in the Moms Club annual Easter party lunch and egg hunt.

Before the Easter egg hunt, the girls had mac n cheese, fruit and of course a cup cake. You always have to make sure your child has just enough of a sugar high before running around collecting eggs with even more candy (a.k.a. sugar) in them!

Surveying the lay of the land...

Let the hunt begin!!

Strategic moves of seasoned pros... "Ahhh"!!!...to the victor, go the spoils!
