Alicia's Birthday

Alicia recently celebrated her second birthday, she is very proud to be two and she gladly states that she is “fours” when you ask how old she is. She has heard her sister say she is four for the past year! We had local family over to celebrate her day and we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast for her meal as Alicia really loves pancakes! Especially the fun shaped ones we make.

Alicia waited patiently in her chair for about an hour before the guests arrived. But she finally got the eat her panCake.

After eating the kids enjoyed riding the roller coaster in the basement. Alicia had a blast opening her presents and we finished the night off with some Wii games.

Birthdaygirl and Sleepyhead ready to square off!

Preschool Graduation

Adrianna completed Preschool in May and is now ready for Kindergarten. Technically she was ready for kindergarten after she came home from her first day of preschool.  She would ask us if tomorrow she was going to Kindergarten.  Both Sarah and I are shocked that we will have a kindergartner in August.  Adrianna loves school and she loves making new friends.  We had great teachers at Falcon Elementary where she went and we are very grateful for the Colorado Preschool Program that she was a part of.

Though the outdoor events at the graduation were rained out we enjoyed celebrating with Adrianna’s preschool friends.  Adrianna and I especially enjoyed the egg walk and three-legged races.  It was a lot of fun for both of us.  We are so proud of our little student!

Mother's Day

From Mother’s day to Father’s day is a pretty crazy time of the year for us. Not only do we celebrate those special days but we also have Alicia’s birthday, Joseph’s niece’s birthday, Adrianna’s birthday, Joseph’s birthday, a grandmother’s birthday, and now we added end of school activities. Unfortunately the craziness got the better of us and both Sarah and I came down with some pretty nasty upper respiratory infections. But we managed to enjoy some pretty descent celebrations.

For Mother’s day I made Sarah some strawberry crepes, and we enjoyed a pretty relaxing day making cards for Sarah and enjoying the day together. Though the girls and I try to show Sarah the appreciation she deserves every day; I know she enjoys having a day that she can call her own. Happy Mother’s day Sarah!

As you can see I am quite behind on my blogging, so I hope to catch up on the enjoyment of this time as I can. I expect to post about Adrianna’s graduation from pre-school and Alicia’s birthday shortly.
