Playing catch up!

Hello, again!  It's been awhile, I know.  So, we'll catch y'all up! : )  Here is what we've been up to the past few months:

Nope, that's not snow out our window.  That was a hail storm we experienced in late February!
We went to the Living Planet Aquarium with Aunt Gabby and had a blast! 
 Joshua enjoyed splashing with the Stingrays!
 The new Penguin Encounter exhibit was lots of fun!
 We discovered that Matthew is almost as tall as an Emperor Penguin!
 Matthew said to me, "Mom, I've always wanted to ride a frog!"  So, he did. : )  It also happens to be the only *good* picture I got with Kennedy in it.
 We got to enjoy Uncle Ethan's futsal game!  Holy, fast paced game, Batman!  Ethan's team won!

It finally got warm enough to melt the snow and let us get out and ride the bikes the kids got for Christmas!


 Joshua got a series of injuries, including a concusion (complete with a trip to the ER) and {the very next night!} fell and cut his eyelid on the corner of a bookshelf.  It probably could've used a stitch, but it wasn't all the way through and I wasn't going back the the hospital!  He had some swelling and bruising and green-bugery eyes for a few days, but has made a full recovery.
Insert the pictures of Joshua and his 2nd birthday party here.  I went to take pictures, but the batteries in the camera were dead.  So, they're not here.  But our little guy did turn 2 on April 7!  We cannot believe it has been 2 whole years since our boy made his harrowing debut!  We are grateful everyday that he is so healthy and happy!  You'd never know that we almost lost him!  He is such a joy to have in our home!  He is so loved by (and so loves!) his brother and sister!  He loves to be the center of attention and has become quite a funny boy!  {He even knows a joke!}  We literally just watch him and laugh!  He's so stinkin' cute!  We celebrated his birthday by going to the Mayan with the kids!  They had a blast--didn't eat very much, but had fun watching the cliff divers!  A few days later we had a family party the Shop.  It was so fun to have everybody there!

Kennedy went on her first field trip with her Pre-K class to Wheeler Farm!  I was fortunate to find a sitter (thanks, Mom!) so I could go with her and her class!  They had a great time!  Again, no pictures.  I didn't want to be carrying around a camera.

Finally, last weekend, Jenny and I took the kiddos to the annual easter egg hunt at Grandpa Wayne's house!  The kids, of course, had a great time and made out like bandits!  By the way, Joshua and Kayson were with us, but didn't find it necessary to stand still long enough to get a picture with the Easter Bunny, whom they were a bit leery of in the first place.
 It has been a fun couple of months!  Hopefully, we will have warm weather to play in (and not too much flooding!) soon!  Thanks for catching up wtih us! : )
