Fun Pictures

I was just having fun with the camera the other day and got some fun pictures of my amazing family. Just thought I'd share. I love them so much!

7 Already!

Megan turned 7 on April 24th. I can't believe she is 7 already! She is growing up so fast. This year she decided she wanted an animal themed party. I found some great jungle party stuff and we decorated with animal print balloons and green tissue paper cut to look like big leaves. The kids made animal puppets, pinned the tale on the tiger(which I was very proud of if I do say so myself), and had fun with a tiger pinata. All in all it was a pretty fun party. We had to postpone her party for a week because I got really sick, she was great, no tears! I was so proud of her! Megan is turning into a teenager fast! She asked for shoes and clothes for her birthday. She got shoes called twinkle toes that have sparkles on the toes and a couple of skirts. Even though she loves shoes and skirts she is still a little girl at heart and loved all of the toys her friends got her and has been playing with them non stop. I don't know if I'm ready for my kids to grow up so fast. She makes me smile and I thank the Lord for her every day!

Maybe I should have taken the pictures before the party when everything was still clean:)

Lions and Tigers and Zebras oh my!

Puppets!

The tiger I drew! It is still up on the wall, I'm so proud of it!

Silly Girls!

Pinewood Derby

Tyler participated in his first Pinewood Derby last week. Anyone who knows Tyler knows that he is a Lego fanatic so he decided to make his car out of legos and glue it to the block of wood they were given. I was a little concerned that this would be frowned upon but it worked well for him. There were some amazing cars, I'm sure the boys worked very hard on, and the dads' had nothing to do with ;) . I was worried that Tyler would be upset because his was not as spectacular as the other cars but he was proud of his car. It actually faired pretty well, especially considering we were worried one of the wheels would fall off! They had a track that registered how fast the cars went and Tyler's car was usually around 195 mph. Not nearly the fastest time but definitely a respectable speed. The thing that I loved the most was that Tyler was a great sport. His car only won once out of 5 or 6 races but he didn't let that get him down. I was very proud of him. He is growing up fast!
