Going for a ride on the plasma car ... We are having FUN playing together.

Soccer Saturday

Go #10! Wish you could have seen her kick it in.

Evrit's soccer skills have finally kicked in ON the field! This kid was all about serious business on Saturday. He scored the first two goals of the game. Would you like to talk about some proud parents??!!!

Even the siblings celebrated with a kiss when both games had ended.

They were so excited for each other!!!

Crashed in the Car

Makes my neck hurt just looking at her.

Limp as a Noodle

Soccer Saturday

This is Evrit with his soccer friends. He is the youngest and tallest of the bunch.

So far, he'll participate in practice but has refused to play on game day. We will see how this week goes.

Madeline isn't the youngest this year, but she is definitely the tallest. (See #3 in orange.)

She is a fearless goalie!

She is a force on offense as well. Just after I took this shot, her teammate threw the ball in to her, and she lobbed it over the goalie's head for a GOAL!!!!

3-Year Check-Up and Park Play

41-1/4" tall and 46 lbs which puts him above the 95th percentile in both categories. WOW! This is one BIG 3-yr old ... in a very cute gown (hee hee hee). He was a bit anxious about the shot, but he took it like a champ with not even one tear. Whew! Mom likes that!

This girl LOVES the monkey bars. She climbs forwards, backwards, along the sides, and even hangs upside down.

And this cute kid is crazy about climbing and hanging too. Sometimes he really scares my because I think he is falling. Actually he is just playing and will soon pull himself out of most precarious situations.

Happy Easter!

Did I mention that the G-parents popped in for the birthday? Yippee!!!

Cute Birthday Pic and Evrit's new Ride-on

Check out my new birthday toy. Even Mom and Dad can take a spin. It works great on the hardwood floors!

Evrit had a wild party with a few close friends. What a motley crew!

Happy Birthday to my Evrit. How can you already be 3 years old?! I have enjoyed watching as you learn to run, kick, bat, catch, skate, ride, pedal, cast, balance, climb, hang, swing, swim, and sing. What a blessing you are!

She's turned into quite the monkey on the bars and rings, and he's a master on the fireman's pole.

Crazy Mean Faces (The red-eye adds a special touch, don't you think?)

Jr Bridesmaid and Fun with Friends

Madeline's is going to be the junior bridesmaid in cousin Christi"s wedding. Just beautiful!

We've had mots more time to play with "Laudy" (aka Charlie) lately. Good times!

Basketball went out with a Bang

Is this fair???

Finally! During the last game of the season, her teammates figured out how to get the ball to her and she made 6 baskets!!! Way to go, Madeline.

Sibling Love

Snowballs - The camera saved me, if only for a little while.

Throw it or lick it ... That is the question.

(I'm glad I am holding the camera. I am pretty sure that snowball had my name on it!)

Camera! Camera! I AM HOLDING THE CAMERA!!!!!

I'm missing the snow and am finally getting around to posting the pics from the Amazing Snow we had a couple of weeks back.

It's snow angel time!

Our first snowman

Making Valentines - Hoping Yours was Happy!

She's the cutting QUEEN! Lots and lots of owls - "Owl" surely love being your friend, Valentine.

Making valentines, Baby! Best "fishes" to ya'!

Checkin' out the chicks with "Laudy" (aka Charlie) at Burger King

Madeline Playing Basketball

Go Miss Defender!

Getting coaching from Dad

This shot was taken just after Madeline made a basket! I hate that I had limited power on my camera, and I was slow on the trigger. Argh!

Another shot from Malcolm's basketball game - Daddy and Daughter

A little Boxing ... I think I am safer down here!

A little boxing...

I think I am safer down here!

Mom, do I look cool? (Of course, you do! However, I am not sure about the picture pose.)

Malcolm's Basketball

We attended Malcolm's basketball game last night. He did the jump ball at the beginning of the game. Look at those ups! Go Malcolm!

We LOVE going to watch Malcolm's games.

Dirty Hands and Posted Up

Hand! Hand! (Evrit loves birthday cake, but he DOES NOT like dirty hands. LOL!)

Look at my girl! She is posted up and waiting for the ball. Unfortunately, her teammates don't know how to get it to her.

Aunt Mel again made a fabulous cake that we shared at home before we all fell into bed. What a DAY! (Thank you to all who helped to make Madeline's Day Out a very special brithday time!)
