Another girl!?

Don't be alarmed, not a baby. Heaven help us if when we do try again it is a girl!

Miss Dora is now one of the gals.
They dress alike and everything!

Maia even manages to fight with her! :)

New ride

Gaga and Gapa got a new ride! Isn't she cute!

Mud caves, cheese popcorn and swimming, oh my!

We spent some quality time with the Cistolo Family!
We were excited to kick off swimming season!

Maia is all about the outdoors!

Some of us braved the unheated pool!

Others stuck close to the hot tub.

We rested in between swims!

We enjoyed some cheesy popcorn! Thanks Aunt Lisa!

Then, we went back outside for more fun!

We explored a "mud cave"

It was way fun!

And way messy! (Notice Mom's stiff arm!)

I thought it was great to get dirty!

We were all tuckered out after the long adventurous day!

It was snuggle-buggle time!

Thank you Cistolo Fam!

Pat's Run

Coach B, Tiffany and the G-Team met up with the Cistolo Men for Pat's Run (or walk).
We took strollers for the 4.2 miles, cause even though we have children that walk, that's long!

Chris was G-Team's "driver"

We started off strong! bahahaha~

Mike was the "driver" for his crew.

We ended up pushing a lot of empty strollers!

Even little Maia walked, ran, tripped, fell,

and tantrumed her way through a few miles!

It was fun!

Amazing!

Liah will be 4 in June. I know all parents think their children are brilliant and brag, my darling child really is! (teeheehee!) She is a little sponge and soaks up everything. She knows letters, sounds out, reads sight words, knows numbers, has an awesome vocabulary, the list goes on!
Plus, she is writing! All on her OWN! I totally cried.

So proud!

Easter Madness

After Disney on Ice we went to Grammy and Grampy's for dinner and a sleepover.
The Easter Bunny stopped at their house a day early to hide baskets for us!

We got some cool surprises!

And some sweet treats!

The next morning we drove home. When we got there we discovered that the Easter Bunny had been to our house and decorated and left a bunch of surprises! (Thanks Gaga!)

He even nibbled some of our carrots!

Gaga, Gapa and Aunt Manda came over.

We searched for eggs and our baskets!

We were very lucky to find so many hidden treats!

We got toys, DVDs, new water bottles, clothes, all sorts of fun things!

We wore our new dresses!

Auntie Manda got a basket too!

(Liah was so not into pictures this past weekend!)

Look a glowing Gaga~ we think it's her halo~ she is an angel!

Auntie Lauren came over after some "car trouble" or shall we call it Saturday night's aftermath! We are special cause she only celebrates Easter with us!

Gaga always has these fancy tricks. She was whistling through blades of grass?!

Stella loved it!

It was a beautiful day so we played outside!

Then, we had the heated egg cracking challenge. So intense!

After many hits......

Lauren, the rookie, won!

Maia loved this game! Last year she was the winner. This year she attacked every egg in sight. Her shell was cracked to pieces!

Mom made it all through Sunday like a big girl. Little did she know Dad had ordered her "eeter bocket" and it was held up in Wisconsin! It came Monday! Inside her Nike basket:

Dad rocks! Mom is ready for the gym!

Thank you Easter Bunny!
