Jefferson Heights Park

With beautiful spring weather here, we have been playing a lot at the park near our house...though I still drive so the kids can have their bikes there.

Noah and Anna love to ride their bikes here.


Avery loves the sand volleyball court, well just sand in general!

And they love playing with their friends!

A Sunday Birthday!

My birthday was on Sunday this year, and it made for a great day to rest and just be with my little family!
Anna did not want to take a picture...
but she loved helping me make my favorite-Angel Food Cake!

her favorite part...

Short Hair!


Well, my sweet girl has short hair! And funny thing is, she didn't do it herself. Her mother thought it would be easy to give her a short little bob...ha ha ha! On the one side it is the perfect chin length I was going for...on the other side, well let's just say it's to her eye...oops! About halfway through the cut Anna, while watching cartoons, must have tilted her head a good bit so that when I looked up from the hair and adjusted her neck...it was too late. The damage was done! So it is very short and very uneven!


I felt terrible but walked her down the hallway anyway to let her look at it. When she saw it she said, "I look like a boy." Oh boy! I reassured her then while Anna wasn't around I asked Noah to tell her it looked beautiful. Which if you know Noah, is a very simple request to which he ALWAYS complies...sweet boy that he is. Well, not this time. When I looked at him and prompted him, he just looked at me with pathetic eyes and shook his head "no". I knew right then and there it was bad! We are all laughing about this now, but it was a bit tramatic for me then. Anna has no clue how uneven it is, and thankfully is completely unaware! As for me, I'm starting to get used to it and I even think it's cute. Though it will be much cuter when the other side grows out! But all that to say...lesson learned. I will never try to cut my children's hair again!! I will find better ways to save a little money :)

Daddy's First Marathon

Tim competed in his first marathon (well, first without a triathlon involved) today! He had fun with a couple of buddies and finished in 3:37! I'm so proud!
And Avery loved wearing his medal!

Coloring

I'm not quite sure why, but I LOVE to watch my kids color and draw. It brings my heart so much joy to see what's going to come out of those budding minds...

and I love it even better from this angle!!
