Who knew?

You can run out of space on a blog?  Not sure what to do.  I make a photo file on facebook, so if you are friends with me, you can see all of the AZ pictures that way for now...handy little Facebook!

Spring Break Trip 2011-Arizona

Mary and Ed Lassak shared gave up their home for us.

Nick and I had 3 funfilled kid-free nights together!

The kids were the most amazing road trippers! 

We are SOOOO proud of them.

Next road trip, Lake of the Ozarks to meet our other cousins.

And, to Florida to see Pop and Nana...all in one trip!

Joss remembered her old trike and road it every day.

The 3 cousins...Josslyn, Leighton and Taylor.

We arrive with some "love us" gifts for Leighton. 

We were warned she could be shy but she warmed right up to us!

Hmmm...could it be the cookies we gave her when we first arrived!!?

More bribery.

Josslynnie loves Papa.

The boys thought it was great to have sidealks to skate on! 

Jake and Tay.

Our first night at the pool with the fam.

Video: Tye - "Going Buggy" Program!

The next cutest thing to Tye was how excited his brother and sister were for him.  If you listen back to that video, you can hear Jake yell out, "Go, Tye" from the front row of kids.   

And Joss...just imagine as she can hardly contain herslef during Tye's entire show!

Hilarious...soooooo Joss.

Tye's Kindergarten Program

Tye was FANTASTIC in his show.  He was amazingly coordinated and on the beat.  We're so proud of our big leader. 

Above: Tye and his best friend, Sawyer.

Doing is trio on the floor of the stage.

He was very nervious before hand...

shined during the show...

and realized he loves performing in front of an audience. 

Good work, Mr. T.

XOOXOX

Tooth and Weather Update

We continue to lose teeth at what seems to me, an insane rate.

Tye lost yet another tooth yesterday at school.  

Then today, Jake hops in the car after school and shows me, he too has lost another tooth.   

(I wonder what the nurse thinks?)

They are all growing up so quickly. 

This is my view from the kitchen window when we make dinner. 

Wait till you see it when everything is green early this summer.

The weather has been gorgous...a light coat is all you need in the afternoon. Its been in the low 60s and WE LOVE IT.

Nick got the bikes ready to ride today when the kids were at school.

What a cool afterschool treat!

They're in their element, outside.

Next step, getting Joss to ride her 2 wheel bike off road, in the forest.  For now, when the boys are in the forest she just rides her trike.

Josslyn's 4th Birthday!

It's incredible that our baby girl is now 4 years old; not even remotely close to a baby.

Yay...you're four!

A new Wii game, just for her!

Daddy made it a very special birthday for our angel.

This weekend, we has a little party. 

Concentrating on her cupcake decorations. 

Balloons!

A new piggy bank for her allowance.

The beloved Uno.

A princess party wouldn't be complete without the girls doing each other's make up and nails.

A "real" puppy.  (It wiggles and squirms.)

Tye made her a St. Patty's Day bear.

Joss still adores her doll house and finally got the kitchen furniture to go inside it.

And a new bed! 

Joss LOVES this card.  We have a very girly, girl on our hands.

The monkey.

This is what happens when you have two big brothers.

Happy 4th Birthday, big girl!

We love you.

No Teeth Tye!

Tysen yanked out lost several teeth in the past 2 days.  Despite the shocking look, he's still ever the sweetie.  (Gotta mention, between Jake and Tye, 4 teeth have been lost in the past 3 days...we're like a school of sharks over here!!)
