sitting pretty

Baby girl is sitting all on her own...I like to put the boppy pillow behind her because she will spontaneously decide to throw herself backwards.   She is loving the new view of the world!  I can't believe how much she is growing a changing.  Love her!

St. Patrick's Day

We had fun celebrating the day of green this year.
We were traveling on the actual holiday but that didn't stop those crazy leprechauns from visiting us...they messed up our car and hid treat bags under the kids seats!

Knowing we would be gone we did some celebrating all week long...

we all had fun making and playing with these leprechaun masks

and...

one afternoon we made these adorable clover leaf leis

Of course we all sported green and spent our drive on the look out for "lepracorns" {GRIN}!!!
We love a good holiday!!!

love

Love love love this weather we have been having.

Love that the kids can go outside and play!

Love the beautiful Spring flowers outside my front door.

Love that Sophie keeps asking if she can pick them!

Love walking to get the kids from school.

Love not having to wear a coat.

Love the sunshine.

Love going to the park.

Just LOVE!

ballet! ballet! BALLET!!!

Ruby started a little ballet and tap class this week.  She was born to dance.  She dances wherever she goes ...prancing and lifting her leg up in a mini arabesque.  She was so excited.  I took her to pick out a leotard and she instantly fell in love with the first pink one that she saw.  It does look really cute on her though!  

I stayed and watcher her first class.  It was the most adorable and funny class ever.  I loved watching Ruby try to imitate the steps that her teacher was doing...I couldn't help but chuckle as my little girl all dressed in pink, with sunshine arms, sashed across the room!

Happy dancing Ruby Jane!!

The weather has been so beautiful.  We went to the park twice this past weekend.  The kids loved it!  Even Lyla thought it was pretty nice.  She just hung out in her car seat totally content the entire time.  It's days like this that give me Spring fever!!!
