The big Bad 4 year old.... Leah!

Our little princess turned 4 years old last week! We had a Pink party at the Zoo with Grandma Ann, PaPaw Bob, and Aunt Anna & her cosuin Francesca.... everyone wore a pink shirt, and I'm sure we were quite a sight! The highlight of her visit was getting her face painted... she sat so stillShe was just delighted with the end result!!! Her FAVORITE present was from her cousin Francesca, they bought her a barbie guitar, that has a head set/microphone.... her favorite song is Cindi Laupers... "Girls just wanna have Fun"

Theo would like me to remind Mark & Anna that Christmas is coming up and that pay-backs are hell! :)

We also took Leah & Ethan to magic mountain right around her birthday and they had a blast!

Leah got to ride/drive the go-carts with daddy! Theo said she SQUEALED then entire ride!

It's hard to believe that she's 4 years old and that she'll be starting Preschool next week!

Happy 60th Birthday Old Man!

We got to go back to Illinois for my Dad's 60th birthday last weekend! It was so good to see my Dad & the rest of the family! Connie, my Dad's wife, decided we needed to throw him a surprise party, so the kids job was to distract him as much as we could so she could get stuff prepared! Ethan decided he wanted to drive the "tractor" at Papaws house and so they had their first driving lesson with my Dad who I swear did not smile even once when he was teaching me to drive..... Ethan & Leah cruise around the yardSo After we were able to surpise him, my "little" brother Justin realized that it was the first time in a VERY long time that all his brothers & Sisters were in the same place at the same time... so we had to take pictures...
