Easter Pictures

We went for a little walk into the woods to capture some cute pictures of the kids in their Easter outfits. Although hot, it was a gorgeous morning. We are so grateful for Jesus Christ and this time of year to celebrate him.

Zoo!

We had a great, hot trip to the zoo today! It's always fun to go with friends. The kids love seeing the wild animals. The highlight every time is watching the orangutans crossing the ropes over our heads. Super fun day!

Spring Break-Roosevelt Island

Today a group of us met at Roosevelt Island as an outing for our kids that are out of school for Spring Break. We hadn't ever been there. It's really pretty and was fun to hike around, although some of the trails were closed due to flooding. We brought our lunches and the kids had a great time playing, hiking and eating with each other!

Swing Time!

Today we went to the park. Kelsey tried the swings for the first time and totally loved it! Can you tell? Jayda could be pushed for hours in the swing....

B is for Bubbles!

The kids love bathtime. Tonight we brought out the bubbles...

Jayda's Third Birthday!!

Jayda had a great day! She got some fun presents that she really wanted, she chose hot dogs, jello and cheetos for dinner... with Dora cupcakes and rainbow sherbet for dessert! All day long she kept running up to me and exclaiming "Mom, it's my birthday!" It was so cute. Jayda is such a joy and a ray of sunshine in our family. We love you, darling girl! (You'll notice the marks on her chin... she feel down, right on her face, and luckily came away with only a few scratches on her chin.)

Question of the day...

Mom: "Jayda, what do you want for your birthday next week?"

Jayda: "I want a Dora backpack, a Dora movie, a Dora book, a Dora shirt, a Dora nightgown, a Dora ballet tutu, a new Dora doll, a Dora puzzle, Dora cupcakes, a Dora hair clip, a Dora coloring book, a Dora brush..."

Is there even a question about what Jayda continues to be completely enthralled with?! :)
