March Madness

Well... March madness around our house, anyway... probably not exactly the March madness that first popped in your mind ;) We have been busy... here are a few high lights...

BIG BOY BIKE: Little man FINALLY got his own bike... he LOVES it... Jamie has been riding a bike w/training wheels since Christmas. Not little man... he preferred the tricycle variety and REFUSED to pedal... he was happy as a clam using his feet on the ground to propel himself. Well, this weekend, he hopped on Jamie's princess bike and took off. Needless to say, James quickly informed me that "The boy needs his own bike"... off to the store they went... and Jacob is now the proud owner of a Thomas the Train bike. My little man is growing up!

SOCCER: Jaycie had her last soccer game... she liked it, when the weather was nice... which was not the case often this season. It was a cold, rainy season... but she had fun and loved playing with Hunter. Here she is with Coach Troy, Coach John, and Hunter after their last game of the season.

FIELD TRIP: Jamie & Jacob had their first official field trip! We went to a farm... they saw chickens, newly hatched turkeys, pigs, horses, dogs & cats. They had a fun time. Their FAVORITE thing about the field trip was riding the bus. Jacob points the bus out at the preschool EVERY day now... "Mommy, there is my bus..."

The big bus ride.
Jacob & Luke pet a chicken...

the two kids most likely to have an allergic reaction, go figure...

Now THAT is a big dog... to put it in perspective...

the dog in the background is a Golden Retriever...

SERVICE DAY: I took all of the kids to service day at the local food bank. They had a lot of fun decorating food collection barrels, putting together boxes, and stocking food carts. Afterwards, we had a picnic at the park... then went home for a good nap!

Box Boy... Jacob LOVED stacking the boxes onto pallets...
