Last Soccer Game

Mason had his last soccer game today. It was fun to watch him play this year, because he really became friends with his teammates. They all go to the same school, so they see each other often and had become close. Mason was very surprised and super happy that he got his first trophy. He kept asking me if it was a dream. He wasn't even expecting it.

The Greatest Kids

T-Ball 2012

Mason had his first T-Ball game today. It was so fun to watch. This year he is on the Red Sox and he has an amazing coach. His coach let them pick their own numbers and he even put their last name on their jerseys. Pretty cool! Mason has some friends from school on his team which makes it even more fun!

My Baby is 2!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Cassidy!

 We had a fun day today. Cassidy was so into her birthday this year, it was really cute. For a couple weeks now, she has been listing off the things she wants on her birthday: "pesents, bayoons, ceke, i ceam, hats." She got them all! We went to Chuck E. Cheese's for lunch and Cassidy (and Mason and Ellie) LOVED it. We came home and opened presents. Cassidy has gotten very good at opening gifts since Christmas. She was so fast at it, but so genuinely excited about each gift. Then we ate cake and ice cream. It was past her naptime and she seemed pretty happy, so I let the nap slide today. I was a little worried how she would do at Mason's baseball practice, but she did great. We played with the slip n slide too, because she needed to test out her new swim suit. I kept asking her how old she was and she would respond with a different number each time. Sometimes she was 7, sometimes 13, and sometimes 8, 9, 10. We are so happy we got to celebrate Cassidy's birthday. She is such a joy and we love her so much!

Chuck E. Cheese's Fun!

 I love this picture.

Cake time!

 Cassidy had been showing me how she was going to blow out her candles for the past 2 days. She did a good job when it came to the real thing!

   

Trying out the new toys

Warm(ish) Weather Fun

Mason and Ellie have convinced me a couple of times that it has been warm enough to play in water. I've felt that water...it's really cold, but they seem to not even notice.

I did it.

I ran my first half marathon (13.1 miles)! It was the Salt Lake City half marathon and it was an awesome experience. After I let my body rest a little, I think I will consider running another one someday soon.

Me and my cousin, Marian.

Mason was so excited that I earned a medal. 

The kids had to try it on. 

For some reason Cassidy didn't want any of it touching her.

Ellie's Dance Recital

Ellie did a great job in her recital tonight! She pays such close attention to getting every move right. She definitely was the one in her class who knew the routine the best. We all had a wonderful time watching her. When Ellie came out on stage, it was pretty quiet and very loudly Cassidy yells, "I see Ya-Ya!" After the show, Ellie said that she heard Cassidy say that (we're hoping it makes it onto the professional video that was being taken). It's so fun to watch her perform and do her best. She is so cute up there!

When we were leaving, Cassidy insisted on jumping all the way to the car. If you look closely, you will see how high she gets. I am amazed at her ability to jump at only 2 years old!

Happy Easter!

Dyeing the eggs...

This is Ellie's favorite part of Easter.

From the day I buy the dye kit, she asks me over

and over if it's time to dye the eggs yet.

The hunt has begun...

Ellie and Cassidy are such cute sisters. They love doing everything together.

It's good to have a big brother take care of you!

Ready for church...

I love this one!

Uncle Cameron, Aunt Brittany, Cade, Connor and Brittany's sister, Bonny, came over for dinner and an outside egg hunt. We strayed from tradition and Dave made Korean food for dinner. It was AMAZING!

COUSINS!!!!!
