Tball Time!

Here are a few shots from Cami and Syd's 1st T-Ball practice. Look for the pink and purple jackets! :-)

Cheer Camp!

Last weekend Cami and Syd went to the Wesclin Cheer Camp. Our weekend babysitter, Courtney, asked if the girls could come to her high school and be in the cheer camp that her and her cheerleading team were doing. There were several age groups and Courtney was teaching the 5 year olds. Courtney goes to our church and is a Junior at Wesclin. When I was in high school, I babysat her and her brother and now she is babysitting Cami and Syd. Very cool. Anyways, the girls stayed there and then the parents came back in the afternoon to watch them perform what they had learned. One of the cheers said - ORANGE AND BLACK - we changed that to PURPLE AND WHITE... sorry Courtney!

Here they were doing a cheer called 'Jump and Shake It', the girls LOVED this one because they got to shake their booties! You can see them in the middle back row.

P.S. I'm pregnant..... yeah right..... APRIL FOOLS! :-)

New Adventures

Last Sunday we took the girls to the park... AND... we took off their training wheels! They did really well, but we aren't quite there yet. We heard several times that they wanted their training wheels BACK ON!

Cami with her new bike she got for Christmas.

Syd

Cami was really getting the hang of it - she giggled the entire time!

Syd wasn't all that excited about it, but she kept trying!

Ellie came along too, most of the time Syd kept her company.

And then came ball practice... The girls started t-ball practice on Thursday and Bob couldn't wait to get started!

It's OUR birthday!

On the day of the girls birthday, we had to find something fun to do! Lunch and a party at Elsombrero's! The back room was the perfect size, as my house would have never been able to hold that many people. Next year, we might just have to go there again - unless Bob buys me a bigger house!!!!

A couple of pictures of the girls opening their presents.

After the party, we met up with The Morra's at Monkey Joe's! What a fun place! The kids absolutely loved it and the parents just get to sit and watch - how fun!!!

Stopping for just a minute to take a picture.

Too cute!

Happy Birthday Cami and Syd!

From birthday's past to present. What a blessing our little girls have been to us over the past 5 years. We can't imagine our lives without them.

A Night of Magic

!!!!!!!LONG POST ALERT!!!!!!!!

Whew, March days have already flown by! Where to begin... This past Sunday we took a trip to the Magic House with my Mothers of Multiples group. They rent out the entire place just for our group - so what that means to ME is less stress and a lot less hectic, a whole lot easier to keep an eye on the kids! Here are a few snapshots.

Cami next to the electricity ball - wild hair! Bob's hair is standing up too, you just can't see it.....

Syd's crazy hair!

Bob is trying to encase the girls in a big bubble.

A family photo.. can you see us?!?!?

Saturday it was so beautiful, the girls had a picnic lunch out on the patio, then we took them for a bike ride at the Nature preserve in Mascoutah. Ellie wanted so badly to sit at the big girl table.

Wednesday night, our Club Cross group served Lenten dinner up at church. We had a record breaking attendance - we served and cooked for 80 people!!! We rock!Last Saturday we went to a baby shower for our friend Jackie, who is also Amy Morra's sister. The girls loved all the baby stuff, but they especially loved all the treats we snacked on!

Me and my beautiful girls.

I think that just about covers it... now we are just counting down the days until Cami and Syd turn 5 years old!!!!
