Happy 4th, Kelsey!!

I can hardly believe this darling, happy girl is 4!! Kelsey had a great day! She was very specific about what she wanted on her day...Dad's banana pancakes for breakfast, out to lunch at Chick Fillet, hot dogs, Doritos and lemonade for dinner with 3 layered chocolate cake, with pink icing and sprinkles. When she saw the decorated living room, she squealed and said "It's just beautiful!" So cute! Our dear friends came for cake and ice cream, which perfectly ended a wonderful birthday! Kelsey loved everything about her special day!

Bart put a piece of tape on M's nose and she wouldn't let anyone take it off! It was so funny. She left it on for 30 minutes.

Memorial Day Outing

We decided to surprise the kids with a "Duck Tour". Starting at Union Station, ou go on a tour of the city, by land and water...your vehicle (World War II original DUKW amphibious vehicles) turning into a boat when you enter the Potomac River). Very fun and cool. The weather was perfect and the kids had a ball. The Captain let them all take a turn "driving" on the water. The Captain also gave us "quackers". Loud and obnoxious, but fun. They sound, surprisingly, like a duck.

Late Birthday Post

I had such a great birthday! I heard from all of my family and lots of friends...Bart and the kids spoiled me...It was sunny but not hot outside... Friday night Bart and I went on a date to The Melting Pot (a fondue place). We hadn't ever been there, but I've wanted to go for years! Delicious!! Two funny comments from the kids.. Cole "Mom, you should really enjoy this upcoming year, since it's the last year you will be in your thirties." Thanks, Cole. Jayda "Mom, you are turning 39! Then, you'll be 40, then 41, 42, 43, 44, 45...she counts all the way to 100 then says "And, then you'll be dead!" Great! So much to look forward to! :)
