Saturday Bike Ride

Since Avery has recently learned to
ride her bike without training wheels and
she needs some more room to practice
without being in the way of cars, etc... we
took the bikes out to a school on Saturday.
Aunt Hollie let me borrow her bike so that
I could ride as well. This carpool loop is
a great place to ride on the weekend.

Baseball - Go Phillies

We gave Aaron the option of playing baseball
this year. He has done great this season!
We are so proud of him for giving it his
best! Go Phillies!

Wrangler Stampede

Aaron's spring fundraiser at school is the
wrangler stampede... kids run laps and
get pledges per lap.  He was ready to run
until he tripped and got trampled on the first
lap.  He was over it after that but he did
manage to get 15 laps.

Not sure this will work but this is a video of Avery riding her
bike without training wheels! She saw her friend Luke riding
and she was determined to learn how and she did! We are
so proud of her.

Last Spring Break Fun!

On Friday night we had a cousin sleepover
at our house. Avery decided to make a
no boys allowed sign for her door and she
also "booby" trapped the area.  The girls
didn't have a problem being in the boys
room though.

Spring Break Day 5- Friday- Zootopia

On Friday we went to see Zootopia at the movie tavern
with some friends. This was our first movie tavern
experience...for those of you who don't know the movie
tavern has reclining chairs and waiters that bring you
food or popcorn. The kids LOVED it... they loved
the fancy seats! The jury is still out if we will return
though because I found all the people walking in and out
to be distracting and I know I missed some parts of the
movie.  The movie was very cute though. 

Spring Break Day 4- Thursday- The Zoo and Mom's Birthday

Thursday was my 35th birthday and
the kids and I spent the morning at the BR
zoo. We had a good time just
walking around.  We had lunch with Daddy
and Gram for my birthday and then later
that evening my good friend Traci cooked
me dinner and we had cookie cake! 35
looks pretty good!

Spring Break Day 3- Wednesday- Uncle Jake Comes to Visit!

On day 3 of our spring break Uncle Jake
and Jackson came to visit with his friend
Chasity and her son Brady. It is always
exciting to have cousin Jackson with us!
We went to play at the new park, ate
beignets at Coffee Call, and then went to
jump at It's My Party!

Spring break day 2- Tuesday -Strawberry Patch

On day 2 of spring break we went to the
Strawberry Patch with our friends again.
We got up super early (well super early for
spring break) and headed to the patch. Since
we were so early we had the place to
ourselves for a good hour. The kids picked
their strawberries and then played on all
the great activities this place had. We
came home and had strawberries with
cream later that night!

Spring Break- Day 1- Monday -New Orleans Zoo

We had a fabulous and BUSY spring
break week! Our first stop on Monday was
the New Orleans zoo with our good
friends Luke and Cailin! We now have a
membership to the Audubon Zoo so we
will be going back soon to visit!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! We went matchy matchy this year with
some great gymboree clothes! Avery was so excited
that I found a matching dress to match her!

Glow in the Dark Egg Hunt

I wanted to do something different this year
to surprise the kids and I saw this great
idea to put glow bracelets into eggs. I thought
they would LOVE it so I hurried to dollar
tree to get the supplies... only to realize the
day of that I got the wrong size eggs and
had to go to 5 store trying to find the right
size the night before Easter.  Oh well!
We went to get milkshakes and I had a
friend hide the glow eggs while we were gone.
The kids LOVED it! We even invited our
neighbors over to hide them a few more
times.

Daddy's Little Helper

Avery helping daddy with some yard work
