Annmarie turns FIVE!

This girl really keeps me on my toes and now she is FIVE years old, old enough to start kindergarten this fall.  Since today was Pi Day (3-14), we convinced her to have a pie for her birthday dessert instead of cake, since we had just had cake yesterday.  When asked what kind of pie, she chose banana creme, a surprising choice considering I don't think she even cares much for it.  I think next year she'll go with cake again or maybe choose a different kind of pie.  Jonah and Annmarie also got these fun pogo bouncers from Grandpa and Grandma.  Not exactly pogo sticks, probably much easier, but they have been enjoying them.

Swimming over Spring Break

Eliza's Activity Days leader has a pool in her yard.  While the weather has been pretty warm (high 80's), I would not have wanted to go swimming.  But that didn't stop Eliza from going and loving it!  That girl is a fish.  The pool was heated, but that wouldn't have been enough for me, unless it was heated to 90+ degrees!  I'm glad that Eliza went and had a good time.

Jonah's Birthday

Well, Jonah turned seven today.  We are on Spring Break, so it was a kick-back kind of day.  He requested a LEGO cake.  I made one for Westley a few years ago.  I really don't like working with bright colors for frosting anymore, so I convinced him he wanted a brown LEGO and then I just made a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting all from scratch.  He requested In-N-Out for lunch, so we all went out and got to see Dad at work.  Happy birthday, Jonah!

Haircut

I got my hair cut today and I love how short it is!  My phone doesn't have a selfie mode that works (I have no idea what happened there!) so I had to take a mirror selfie.  I'm really bad at taking selfies.  But I'm happy with the haircut.

Career Day

Groves had a Career Day and the kids could dress up in the career they want to be.  I don't actually know whether Jonah wants to be an In-N-Out store manager or not, but it was an easy costume to make.  I have made a small apron out of a manager's apron that the kids use sometimes when they help out in the kitchen.  Jonah then just wore a Sunday shirt, black pants, socks and shoes, and an In-N-Out hat that Corey brought home from work.  He was the cutest store manager ever!

Nathan's Checkup

Nathan had his two year checkup at the doctor today.  He is healthy, although he had a little bit of a heart murmur, so we are going to get that checked by a pediatric cardiologist.  He is sure cute though.

Groves Tech Night

Groves Elementary, where Jonah and Eliza currently go to school, held a "Tech Night".  They had a variety of activities for the kids to do so we went over to check  it out.  We didn't stay very long, but the kids had fun.  The theme was "Hollywood" and using tech in movies.
