Saturday Fashion

Another "Princess Sylvia" look...

(I wore these gloves and shoes to my junior prom!)

Allergic to Spring?!?! Are you kidding me?

Apparently, I am allergic to spring!? I don't mean, sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose kind of allergic...I mean broken out in hives that spread into what the doctor called an "inflamation" allergic. Last Saturday evening, I was sitting on the couch watching TV and noticed I was getting itchy. I realized I was breaking out in hives. Now, I do this every so often--usually a couple times a year, and usually don't figure out what causes it. Well, I waited it out all week, and it would get a little better, but in the evenings and morning I would be all covered in hives. It just kept getting worse and worse. So, I went to PromtCare this last night and the doc said it's probably the change of season. He put me on two different kinds of antihistimines as well as Prednisone and advised me to get an allergy test. I suppose it's time since this has been happening to me all my life. Most of the hives are gone this morning, so the meds are already working.

Cat Play

This morning, Annah and Ashley put on their little play about cats that they made up last night. They made masks for themselves, nametags with their cat names, and used bathrobe ties for tails. The performance was short and sweet, but so cute. I just loved that they came up with the whole idea and did it all themselves. So creative and adorable.

Slumber Party!!!!!

There is a very girly slumber party happening at our house tonight! It has included best friends, pizza, pajamas, pillow fights, sleeping bags, Barbie Fairytopia Mermadia movie, silly stories, practicing for a play, giggles, silliness, and tons of fun. We always love having Ashley over for a slumber party!











Caeden even got in on the pillow fight--without a pillow to defend himself!






After about an hour of the 3 girls camped out on the living room floor trying to get to sleep, Sylvia had to go sleep in her own bed because she was being too ornery and not sleeping.

Visiting Daddy at State Farm

Today was our running around in town day. We visited Daddy at work! We hadn't done that in about a year! The kids thought his spinning chair was fun, and loved that everyone wanted to give them candy!























Then the kids and I went to a park. They played on the playground and we had a picnic lunch too! Caeden went down the slide on his tummy head-first every time. I was surprised he didn't fly off the end and crash in the mulch, but he was fine every time. Annah managed to get a huge scratch on her tummy the one time she tried it though. Figures.




























We did some shoe shopping at a few stores without much luck, and then got huge McD's milkshakes before heading home. Fun day!

First Bike Rides

When Annah and Sylvia and I got home from church today (Daddy stayed home with Caeden, who had a fever.), Daddy was putting together the girls' bikes!!! After lunch they took them out for their very first bike rides!

Seeing their grins and struggles and watching Jeremy help them was awesome. They went out again this evening too.

Krampa & the kids

We had SUCH a good time with Krampa & Gram this weekend! We're so glad they could visit! We love you Gram & Krampa!!

more shootie things

Oh great...more shootie things! Thanks Gram!

Fresh air play!

I don't know if it's here to stay yet or not, but we are having some very nice spring weather right now. We were all so excited to play outside for a bit today! We picked up twigs in the yard, got out ride-on toys, climbed trees, and just enjoyed breathing the fresh air!

Spring always makes me want to praise the Lord; I'm so grateful for nice weather!

Sylvia's BIG bed!!!

Gram & Krampa brought Sylvia a wonderful, wonderful gift--her very own, brand new, beautiful big-girl bed!
Daddy & Krampa put it together for her this morning. She couldn't be more thrilled.
It's a very beautiful bed!--And, very high up; she has to use a step-stool to get up into it!
She says it is her princess bed.

Of course, her siblings are excited about it too!
