Happy Birthday, Kassidy!

Kassidy completed another trip around the sun today, turning four years old.

She continues to be the kid everyone wants to play with, but her toddler temperament definitely began to show. She is a great kid- but just don't ask to play with her cars.









Kassidy Facts:

Kassidy is very inquisitive, she is always pointing and saying "What's that?".
She loves to touch my face and move my eyebrows up and down, changing expressions.
She is still very much a Mommy's girl.
She runs around dancing and singing when she is not playing with her cars.
Outside she likes to ride around on her sit-down scooter.
Don't ever dare to touch one of her cars without getting her permission first.
Her favorite characters are Minnie Mouse and Pixar's Cars.
She loves to play 'Cookie Doodle' on the iPad.
She is very polite (uses "please" a lot).
Favorite color: Pink
She knows a lot of words, but is still pretty hard to understand most of the time.
Favorite foods: cereal, mac and cheese, bread and nutella, pizza, berries, cheese
Favorite drinks: soy milk
Favorite phrases (toddler alert): "No!", "Don't look at me!", "I do it myself!", "Stop it!", "Don't touch my cars!", "You poopy!", "Please help me."
Kassidy loves to put on dance shows with her sister Keira.
Katharine reads to Kassidy and takes care of her.
Kassidy pretty much just rough-houses with the boys.

All Eyes On Kassidy

Kassidy turns four years old this Sunday!

Our baby girl is growing up, although I still need to Photoshop the occasional booger from her nose..


The Boys

The boys got into their share of trouble this week (messy rooms and such), but in the end we both love those two goofy guys.

Well, only one of them is truly goofy..

Competition Pics

Pictures from Katharine's latest composition.

Sometimes I look at her and think to myself- 

"How could that have possibly come from my klutzy DNA?". 

Must be Iria...














Andromeda Season 1

Many of you know that Lennon joined a second soccer team this Spring. It is a year-round Academy team, and they just wrapped up their first season.

The kids are a little older (1st Grade), but Lennon loves the coach and has already made friends. He is not going to be knocking in 20+ goals a season in this league like he does in rec play, but he got a nice goal today and played really well.






With buddies Kayden, Sammy, and Dax.

Getting some fresh air, Katharine with Zoe, Emma and Ms. Anna

After the awards with Ms. Kay


Katharine's and Claire's duet teacher took these backstage. Us moms don't have any access to backstage, so thank you, Ms. Kay for sharing this precious moment!

Cloudbow

Here is a funny thing that we saw on my way home Thursday night- a rainbow on a cloud rather than against the sky.

Might not be too rare, but that was the first time for me :)



Dance Pair, part 2

Here is a pic of Katharine and I, after she had just knocked her dance solo out of the park. 

Brought a tear to my eye, and it wasn't all allergies..


Play Time

It's May.

The temperature is now in the 80's every day.

Time to start hitting the playgrounds again!







Dance Pair

Katharine is currently in the middle of her second weekend of dance competition, supported by her awesome Mom and her great friends and teachers from the Academy.

She needs all the support she can get- they commonly leave around 8 AM in the morning and don't get back until just before midnight!
