A Beautiful Day for the Park

Don't fly off Nikki!

I love to be outside!

Nikki wanted to go over and play with Hunter after school but I thought since we have had such beautiful weather lately that we should do something outside. I love it when it starts to get warmer but still isn't too hot that you feel like you're melting! Since it was spring break week the school playground was available so we walked down to enjoy the nice afternoon. We all had to take a turn on the swings! Rion only wanted to sit on Kari's lap at first and it was so funny seeing her try to keep him on her lap with the girls taking over like they are - sorry Kari.

Monopoly Showdown

Come on - big numbers!

We definitely like to play games and the game of choice for today was Monopoly. I was the banker. Nikki said I should be a banker in 'real life' so that I could have all the money.

Have some cake and eat it too!

Doesn't it look like they enjoyed themselves?

Rion's birthday was yesterday. Zack and Nikki had a gift for him but we couldn't drop it off, so we came today. As we were driving over Zack asked me if we were going to have cake and when I told him no he was not pleased. He said you have to have a cake for a birthday party so we had to stop at the store for one. Of course I said yes - I can be a pushover sometimes... At the store Zack had picked out a beautiful oreo cake, that was $16 by-the-way, so I steered him in another direction and we just got whip cream to put on the top. Zack started the fun by shoving his face in his plate and proceeded to lick, literally, his plate clean. You can imagine what everyone else wanted to do too then! Rion was the only one a little more cautious - he only dipped his mouth and nose in and had to wipe it off every time. It was so funny watching the kids and hearing their laughter over the fun time they were having.

She's our little puppy. Doesn't she look like she has a puppy dog face?!
