Which Austen heroine are you?

I am not totally happy being Marianne Dashwood... but she is nice. I would like to have been Elizabeth Bennett... of course. =)

Spring, Swings & More

A fun day at the park with Lynleah & Aveia!

My kids just make me laugh!

Spring is here & sweet Keira doesn't know what to think about swigging yet.

Look Mom... no training wheels!!!

Alyssa made a New Year's resolution to ride her bike without training wheels. I wanted to wait until she was at least 5... she insisted on the first semi-warm day. Before....
Dad taking off her training wheels... mom screaming NOOOOOO!!! I am way over protective!
Keria learning to ride for the first time too. Alyssa said she's doing good since she's only on three wheels.
This is our friend Chris Keefe. Shane hurt his back and couldn't run and I wouldn't let go of Alyssa so she got mad and didn't want to ride anymore. Then Chris came to our rescue and thankfully took over. Chris's son Gavyn learned the same day! I wanted to borrow his Spiderman costume so Alyssa's would have even more padding. He said no. =(

She did it! Two hours of riding & she doesn't need any help!!! Amazing!!!

Dress Up!!

Just a few of my favorite dress up pics. We do this about once a day... everyday! I can't get Alyssa to wear normal clothes!

Our friends the Ashton's visited from PA.. Abby & Alyssa loved dressing up!!
Jessica's son Tyler was too cool to dress up and said no thank you for a picture. This is the best shot I could get!

Jessica & her newest addition to the family... Kayla Alyssa just told me, "I miss seeing Abby's cute baby sister... Maybe Jessica can put them on a plane and we'll have a play date today." I love that!!!

Best Friends of Best Friends!!!

Mini Best Friends of Best Friends! Kayla & Keira. Awwwww!

This is how Keira plays dress up on her own. Can you say chocking hazard!?! She scares me!

Alyssa's pre-school teachers kids are so good at play dates! This is a blackmail picture of her son playing dress up. He tugged at Lily's dress until she finally put it on him. Happy little Jefferson!

Alyssa in her Enchanted wedding dress.

Alyssa getting into Mom's make-up.

Keira feel asleep after a long play date of dressing up during her lunch.

My girls after Church in their matching dresses. I'm going to be sad when they are too old to dress alike. They are so cute!

Christmas... 3 months late!

Ok, I am really lame about blogging. So here are a few of our favorite pics over the past months since Christmas!

Alyssa's showing her "Santa's Magical Key" that he used to let himself in our front door. He left big footprints in our house too! Alyssa was amazed!

Cute kids & Daddy Christmas morning!

As Alyssa would say... "Hanna Montana Rocks!" I'm wearing Alyssa's wig from Christmas & Alyssa took this picture. I know, hot babe. That $1 microphone is the most popular Christmas gift and our girls fight over it.

Gifts... gifts... gifts. Keira like the paper more than the gift!

Alyssa's art... she loves making up drawings! So adorable!

Shane & Keira pulling a face for the picture.

Christmas was fun this year. I love it with kids! So much fun to live it through them!
