Ali’s 3rd Birthday

For Ali’s 3rd Birthday, we did a staycation at the Princess resort.

We started off loading her up with sugar (a Frozen cupcake).

Then got her excited with the Frozen dive toys.

Which she was good at diving for.

And happily enjoying the pool.

Ava is (close enough) for the water slides…

which we did a ton of times.

When we weren’t in the pool, we had fun with the sand.

And Ava got to go in the giant water ball thing.

The next evening we were back at home. Ali got to open more presents.

and more presents…

Happy Third Birthday Ali!

May Update

The weather is finally warm enough for the backyard pool! Here the girls are ready to jump off the waterfall…

The girls have fun with playdough in the back yard.

And on the carousel at the train park.

 

Ava the flower child at the Flower Child restaurant (for Mom and Dad’s anniversary / Cinco de Mayo)

Ali has discovered the fun of umbrellas in the rain.

And of making rain when we wash the car.

Followed by a nice casual lunch.

Sadly school is over. Here’s Ali with Mrs. Marmaduke on her last day of school

We also did a day trip to Christopher Creek. Ava and Ali did a little hiking by the stream.

And bubbles too.

April Update

Our neighborhood had a spring/Easter event. Ali and Ava both got their faces painted. Ali was amazingly still for it.

And Ava was too.

On Easter morning the girls were up bright and early for their baskets. Ava got a new swimsuit.

And Ali got an Elsa swimsuit.

The girls also got a trampoline…

With the good weather we took advantage of some outdoor concerts.

And running without shoes.

Ava worked on her basketball skills.

While Ali plays with her Frozen toys.

Ali likes to show off her talents of tennis/tricycling.

March Update

March is when we can really enjoy being outside.

Ava and Ali were hoping for a windy day to try the kite.

Ava (and the boys up the street) built (something) in the front yard.

Ali is getting proficient with the tricycle.

And Ava is practically an expert on the bike now.

Some days the girls do a picnic inside (with their blankets).

And Easter is on the way. Here they are at Kierland with the bunny bushes.

And sometimes its enough to wear you out…

February Update

We may be just a tad slow on the updates…so without further ado, here are some updates from the last 6 months.

 

Ava and her friends at school…

Ali “working” in the office with Dad.

We took a trip to a nearby farm with some friends. Ali and her friend Sam had fun with the rocking horse.

And Ava and Ali played some accordion.

Ali is always up for a trip to the park.

And speaking of trips, Ali went to Ohio with Dad. Here she is at the airport, all ready for snow.

Once we got to Ohio, we had to get out to the snow…

Ali (with braids) went to the Children’s museum.

And played with Papa

 

More updates to come…
