Long-Grain Rice

Tuesday was my real birthday. 8:34 pm to be exact but I celebrated all day! Got my favorite breakfast (Fruit Loops), had cookies at preschool with my friends (sugar cookies with lots and lots of icing), wore a birthday crown all day made by Mrs. Gebhardt, had milkshakes after school with mommy, got to go to the lake with papa (which meant no nap for me), dinner at my favorite pizza joint (Nicks), ate cake (well really the icing), and then opened even more presents.

Happy birthday to me!

Coolest crown ever!

Pizza and cake every boys' dream.

So ready to dig in...

Presents!

Come on papa!

She is so goofy!

This amazing weather helped daddy to hang up one of my birthday presents! Four year olds have so much fun!

Birthday party!

My birthday is still a few days away but oh did we party on Saturday! I invited friends to come bounce, jump run, and dive around BUGS with me. IT. WAS. SO. FUN! I already want to do it again! Really, when do I turn five? I will let the pictures speak for themselves.

Monster theme. You know because they are loud like me.

Before the caos begins.

Ready to jump?

Oh yeah!

Even Hady jumped. She hung out with the big kids all day.

Up high.

Of course Hady too...she couldn't be left out.

Oh don't forget the presents.

My friends know me well...I got lots of cars, airplanes, dinosaurs and lions! I had a great time. Thank you to all my friends for making my day special. And I look forward to really turning 4 on Tuesday!

Cincinnati.

Last weekend we went to Cincinnati for Charley's baptism but we had a little fun before. We spent Saturday at the aquarium and visiting friends before Charley's big day on Sunday. The aquarium was so much fun. There were fish everywhere. I mean everywhere. That night we stayed in a big big hotel right by the river. There were so many bridges I didn't know what to do. It was a fun weekend.

Fish!

And frogs...Hady was scared to death.

Sharks! A must see...I could have watched them all day.

There were stingrays and people swimmming with the sharks...watch out for those teeth.

Penguins...another must see! I waited and waited for one to dive in the water.

A little more snow.

I love the snow.a litle.a lot.really any snow. But come on winter...give us a big snow fall! I want to build snowmen, throw snowballs, make snow angels, roll in the snow, go sledding...
But that will have to wait because the snow was falling this week but only a little covered the ground. Enough to get bundled up and play in but not enough to do anything big.

Ummm...I am a stud and my sister eats snow.

She wasn't in the mood for hugs. She isn't the steadiest in her snowboots.

But she loves to go outside with a little of the white stuff falling.

And the rest of winter break.

Oh, the slow life of any break from school. It came and it went about as fast as Pez stay in my snowman Pez dispenser. I do miss winter break but I loved going back to school to see my friends. I still have my afternoons with mommy and Hady which is plenty of time to get into trouble.
Here are a few pictures from the last week of winter break. My cousin Charley came and joined our house for a few days. It was so fun to have the little guy around...someone else to play with is always fun. And he shared my room with me! I usually just share it with my dog but we kicked Reagan out for a few days while Charley moved into my room. Oh and Hady felt like a big shot because she wasn't the smallest anymore. Ha! Now Charley is gone and she is back to being the 'little' one.

I showed Charley how to drive a scooter.

We enjoyed the warm weather.

And before Charley came and mommy had three little people to worry about, we went to a bounce house fun place in Greenwood. I would have stayed all day but Hady had trouble climbing the big things. Her muscles aren't as big as mine.
