May 2010 Baking and Biking

For Easter the kids got horse shaped cake pans. They have been so excited to finally get to use their special pans.
Addison recieved Mr.Mixer Head for her birthday so was delighted to be able to use him to help her bake a cake.
The proud little bakers!A little frosting and a lot of sprinkles later and a mastery piece is finished. For Addison's birthday she got a new bike. She loves riding her bike and has truly mastered the art of balancing and gliding. She is very fast and can keep up with me as I run. Go Addison, go!

Greyson is just beginning to understand the pedaling concept, but boy, oh boy does he love his "green dump truck"

Birthday.....

For my birthday this year I wanted to do something that I have never done... walk across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge!! It was a beautiful day and we loved every minute of it. Addison liked the view and enjoyed some walking with Daddy, Greyson just stayed in "Bob" the stroller and walked with mommy.
The whole gang!

Little Monkeys climbing!Make a wish here it comes.....

Friends in May....

An outing to Curran Apple Orchard with our treasured friends. What a beautiful day!Addison anb Tula sharing some rocks.
Greyson and Tula having some snacks together. The sprinklers came on and the kids started taking off their clothes to run in the water. They were so fun to watch. The innocence of running in the sunshine and enjoying a little sprinkler fun. Precious. Finely, Sarah and Addison all warming up in the sun and the warm rocks.
All dressed up for the Fancy Nancy party at the Learning Sprout. Such fun to enjoy a little tea and dress up party. We enjoyed our friends Finley and Erin.

A prize from Mimi Patti... sun hats that we can design ourselves. Look at those three cuties. Since Daddy, is a pilot and stays at a lot of hotels we collect lots and lots of hotel soaps, shampoos, conditioners and lotions. Every few months Damien and the kids spread out all of the treasures and package them up so that we can hand them out at the Salvation Army. Soap and treats for others. The kids love it.
