February & March 2011

With tax season monopolizing my schedule I haven't had a chance to do many blog posts. This is a compilation of our cutest pictures over the past month. I sincerely apologize for the shocking lack of pictures of Luke. Unfortunately his older sister just has a bit more going on right now. I do have some exciting news about our little man...he's been accepted to Hillbrook School! We are thrilled & think that our little guy will be so happy there. I know he cannot wait to be in school 5 days a week. We find out in a few days if Maddie-Moe will be joining him :-)

Last week Maddie had custody of her classroom mascots, Max & Mia, so she took them horseback riding

Moe has decided she needs a robe of her own for when she gets out of the tub so she's borrowing mine until the Easter Bunny gets here to bring her one...

This was yesterday. The kids asked for water in their buckets in order to make mud in the flower beds. My initial reaction was "absolutely not." When I realized they just wanted to get a little crazy like kids do, I conceded. Their feet were so caked with mud that it took me almost 1/2 hour to hose them down :-)

What is better than doing laps around the neighborhood in your jammies?

Maddie decided to get dressed for the race

Mike grabbed this photo of our little girl at her piano lessons

Luke in his mecca...the Lego Store. He is in complete awe :-)

Tired little muffin

Boots & hat have arrived! I'll try them on for you...

Here, Mommy, let me show you my Ninja moves...

Horseback Riding

Madison has a new passion...horseback riding! She has always loved horses & when her best friend Paige got lessons for her 5th birthday we thought we'd tag along. Maddie couldn't be happier...she wakes up every morning & asks, "Is it horseback riding today?" :-)

The girls are anxious for lessons to start

There are 3 girls in the class...Madison, Paige & another Madison

Paige has her helmet on & is ready to go!

And she's on!
