Whenever the kids have a birthday, we let them choose what they want for dinner that night. They usually choose to go out to eat and this year, Cole chose his favorite place: Panera Bread.
He LOVES the macaroni and cheese. He has good taste--it really is so, so good.
Watching a funny video together:
George will kill me if he knew I posted this (and yes, he is wearing pants). This is what happens when you squat with over 300 lbs on the bar:
That mark stays for hours.
Way back in November, we had a shed built in our backyard. In February, we finally got around to painting it.
My friends Sara Knight and Heather Kasik came over and helped me finish the trim while George was at work one day. Lance helped, too.
The kids really wanted to help, so George let them roll some of the paint.
With no garage and no basement, we were really hurting for some extra space. Hooray for sheds!
Jude was the only kid this year that was supposed to make a Valentine's box. He wanted a Nerf Gun theme, so we took the guns we made for his Birthday cake, made a few extra guns and targets, and viola! He painted the sides of the box with cute little Nerf guns and told me where to put the perler bead guns. I think it turned out cute!
Lexi insists on feeding herself these days. She won't let me put food in her mouth unless she's held it first.
It makes for a very messy girl!
It didn't take Bender long to realize that Lexi is a walking snack. Anytime she's in her seat, he's right there next to her. She even sneaks him some bits every now and then, laughing when he licks her hand.
We made it up to Ashburn one weekend to celebrate my Mom's 57th Birthday!
Aunt Amy is a favorite. She will watch all the youtube videos the boys love and laughs along with them. They think she is amazing and always ask if Aunt Amy will be at Grandma's house when we visit.
We took Mom to Sweetwater for her Birthday!
57 never looked so good!
While up in Ashburn, we also got to see Uncle Dave and Aunt Colleen and family!
We missed George who had to stay in Charlottesville to work.
The kids had fun hanging out with cousin Devon who was like a second mommy to Lily.
Grandma always has fun surprises for the kids. While we were visiting, she gave Lily and Cole their Birthday gifts:
TENTS!
Lily's is a ladybug and Cole's is a frog.
We set them up on their beds and they've been sleeping in them for weeks. Grandma is the best!
