Not just a river...



My baby girl. She did not turn 4, did she? Nope, she didn't. She DID NOT. Nope. Nope. Nope.

No such thing as too girly!

 Out of 6 kids I have enrolled in my daycare, 4 are girls and with Sydnie and myself, it pretty much is an estrogen infused house, or as Cordel puts it "Girl Trapped"! Now, out of the 6 girls (myself included), 5 of us celebrate our birthdays within 3 weeks of each other! BUT WAIT! Thats not all. Aliza and myself have the same birthdate and Sophia and Sydnie have the same birthdate! CRAZY, huh? When I learned this I decided I had NO CHOICE but the throw a Happy Birthday Tea Party for all of us! Rainbow Pasta, Pink applesauce, pink Milk, pink plates, forks, napkins, sprinkle cupcakes, hollywood glasses & necklaces... well you get the idea. There is no such thing as too much pink or too girly!



 Thanks Zoey for taking this picture!
 I am usually behind the camera!! (side note- Sophia was sick and had to miss the party! SO SAD!)

100's Day

 100's Day. Celebrated among school children across the country and so much fun. Now, Cordel is my oldest, so I had never even heard of "100's Day" before but I soon learned that it is the celebration of the100th day of school. Mrs. Spiker, Cordel's BEYOND AMAZING TEACHER had so many fun activities planned for this event. They made 100's day trail mix where the kids brought in a 100 count of things like marshmallows, MnM's, and cereal pieces. They "predicted" which ones would weight the most and the least and then weighed them to find out. Then they put it all together and made the 100's day trail mix.  They also were asked to decorate a 100's day hat (pictured) with 100 items of their choosing. Cordel chose to do googly eyes, and I found these FANTASTIC colored ones at Sierra's. Some of the other kids decorated with silk flowers, Frootloops, 100 different things, and paperclips! They were so funny with all their silly hats on!
WHAT A FUN DAY! 

Hang on tight!

 Sledding at Ammon Park. I went there as a kid all the time and taking my kids there was such a great experience!  AND believe it or not....


That is Sydnie on the sled. Yup. I couldn't believe she actually went down the hill! Granted, she only went down 3 times, BUT STILL.


 Of course, Cordel was totally into it. Since we rid him of his THRILL fears last summer at Lagoon, I guess sledding didn't seem so scary. He LOVED it!






But the highlight of the event? Oh yes. He is gonna do what you are thinking and if you are anything like me, you're prayin for a crash and burn right now.....


 But sadly, no. He made it down safe and sound but DANG I love that picture!


And on to the big hill...


 look how far he went!


 It's so satisfying bringing my childhood memories to my kids and letting them experience the magic too!
