Kitchen Fun -- making cookies











A Big Red Great Act!

Vance has watched this video about 50 times prior to its post.

Look What I can do

Income Tax Refund

Ty and I split the income refund check. I bought the kids a really really nice spring free trampoline. It came quickly -- 4 days rather than 10 to 15 days. Despite rain and dark, Ty spend about 3 hours putting it together. He even came into the house and go the kids out of bed about 8:30 so they could try it out before he got on the net. They love it!!! Smiles from ear to ear every time they are out back jumping on it.










NCAA Basketball tournament

After Selection Sunday for the NCAA men's basketball tournament, I say on ESPN that my Hilltoppers would be playing in Portland. I called on Monday morning and scored cheap tickets through WKU. Since we have Arya,Ty and I traveled to and from Portland on Thursday and Saturday. Despite a lost to the Zags on Saturday, my Hilltoppers played great ball and I was proud of them. Thursday was my first time to leave Arya. My boobs had a hard time adjusting. Saturday was much better.

I love WKU's mascot, Big Red. It is the best mascot and so interactive with the crowd, besides doing crazy stunts. During one timeout, the cheer squad spin him on his head. And my favorite, him throwing up the basketball and catching it in his mouth. He did not do that one during the tournament. He did it though last year in Phoenix.













A present for Dad

After getting Zoie today at my mom's, we discussed the idea that dad's birthday is on Sunday and that we should get him a present.

C: It is almost Dad's birthday. Should we get him a present?
Z: Yes. We can go to the Boy present store.
C: (Um. . . I think to myself) What is at the Boy present store?
Z: Dinosaurs.

I guess Zoie wants to get Ty a dinosaur for his birthday.

Kids . . . . gotta love their little minds. Especially Zoie's.

While you were out

Here is a hodge podge of pictures from March. I have not had the time to post them. There are more on the camera that I need to upload. Now that Arya doesn't just sleep all the time, there seems to be NO time to do anything but manage 3 kids, wash the cloth diapers, and take care of the essentials around the house.

A stop at Krispy Kreme donuts. We visited there frequently after Tuesday morning skating.


A kiss from Aunt Dutchie.


Which one? I will take all of them. Rather I will just eat the chocolate frosting off each and maybe a small bite.
Going through the car wash. Vance was not a fan.

Jungle Playland. To me, it is like a McDonald's playland on crack. Adults can play there too. The kids love it and it is great exercise and fun.
It even has a ball pit like the old Chuck E. Cheese restaurants.
