Maxwell likes playing with my hair
Emmalyn in her happy place - eating cereal
Video - These two crack me up. If you pay close attention, you'll quickly see what I was trying to capture in the video and the rest of the time you'll see how cute they are. :)
It's hard to be serious... it's much more fun to have fun
Such a cheese face
This is the face - my sweet Emmalyn's face
wiped out after all the fun
(Note the binky - unlike her brother, this one is a fan)
Peter brought me home some flowers. They ended up being double decker because half of them broke (it was weird). but it looked pretty cool.
Max made this birthday card for Uncle Joe. (He wrote 3 1/2 because he's 3 and a half)
Standing all by herself!
Video - Emmalyn making all kinds of noises
Video - Maxwell's dance moves have changed since watching Jaxton dance on the cruise. He's certainly trying to imitate Jaxt's bboy moves.
The swirl of hair is still there on the back of her head, too
Maxwell's soccer practices keep getting cancelled because it's too cold, or it's raining, or some other excuse. I was getting really frustrated with it because I feel like the practices are super important not just to give the kids a chance to work on their skills but to also help them make friends. Anyway, when I got yet ANOTHER cancellation email, I decided to take ownership of doing something about it. I made it sure it was okay with the coach, and then I sent an email out to the team letting them know that even though the practice was cancelled, we were still going to go to the place we practice and we would love to have everyone join us.
Well, I wasn't sure how many people would join since "muddy ground" was the reason for the cancellation. I still got prepared with some drills we could do if other kids showed up. When we got there, the ground was completely dried. (GRRRRRRRRRR) Unfortunately no one else showed. It was just us. Oh well, we still practiced and I knew that I had done what I could rather than just sit there an be irritated with the circumstances.
Our "cones" were upside down beach buckets. They worked just fine!
We brought our little nets from home and had a fun practice with just our family.
Look! Her feet are crossed! Maxwell ALWAYS had his feet crossed and she rarely does.
Maxwell had a bike/trike a thon at school. He was excited to take his red trike.
Pretty girl all dressed up for our Easter picture photoshoot
Her new move - bouncing on her knees
Watching Maxwell's soccer game
All set to do the kick off after the other team scored
Before he could kick the ball, another kid ran up and kicked it.
Maxwell running after the ball (his untucked shirt is past his knees...)
Running towards the ball but with his head down
Common site at the game - big clusters of kids trying to get the ball

Wooo - Momma's got a new tool! I got an electric trimmer to tackle these crazy bushes. I had used hand trimmers before but this is beyond hand trimmers. These are the bushes before...
...and the bushes after. There's shape, there's space between them, I'm pretty proud of my work - first time ever using a tool like that!
