Ian's 4th Birthday!

"Cheese!" Ian loves to say cheese for the camera. We had a Mickey Mouse themed birthday party. Ian and Gavin had Mickey Mouse ears and Audra and Anya had Minnie Mouse ears.
Ian is ready to open presents!

Ian got a remote control car from us...

a fun soccer/hockey set from Nana Stevens

...and the Little Einstein's Pat Pat Rocket from Nana and Bampa! He also got a fun Little Einsteins's music player from Auntie Rochelle, Uncle Milt, Anya and Gavin, and he got really fun Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi figurines from Uncle Nicholas and Auntie Sarah (he loves Mario). Thanks to everyone for the wonderful time we had, Ian absolutely loves all of his new toys!

This is his Mickey cake!

Ian was so excited to blow out his candles he blew them out before we finished singing, luckily one of them stayed lit until the end of the song.

Here's Audra in her Minnie Mouse ears, we can't wait to take them to Disneyland this October!

Ian's 1st Day of Preschool!


We signed Ian up for Summer Preschool at the local recreation center. For school he picked out a Diego back pack. He loves it, they read stories, sing songs, have treats, show and tell, and make crafts. He gets to go two days a week for two hours. If he continues to like this preschool we are going to sign him up in the fall.




A Trip to the Zoo!







We decided to pack up the kids and go to the zoo. Ian loves the alligators so we had to see those, and Audra had fun going down the snake slide for the first time.



Pretty Pink Toes

Audra saw me painting my toes and wanted hers done too. I painted her toes and they turned out really cute. Surprisingly she sat really still and even waited for them to dry. Then she walked around the house like a princess.

I love chocolate!

I left a box of chocolate Chex on the table and I turned my back to do something. I went to check on the kids and Audra was watching a movie eating cereal.
Yumm! Audra loved the ice cream cake we had for Grandma Stevens birthday! Unfortunately her white shirt did not enjoy the chocolate stain.

Ear Infection!

Last weekend Ian was really sick. He never really developed symptons of a head cold, it just went right to his chest. Ian got a fever of 105 and I could get it to go down, but not away. So, Saturday night we headed to instacare to find out what was wrong. He had an ear infection. It has been a very long time since he has had an ear infection (he use to have tubes in his ears). The doctor prescribed a strong antibiotic and lots of popsicles, which Ian loved!

Play 'til You Drop!

I was doing the dishes, and Audra was getting fussy. I turned around to get the broom so I could sweep the floor, and Audra was asleep! She will just drop anywhere and take a nap!
