Mucho Informacion

Lots if information. Lots.  So much that I really need to blog more than once a month. But where's the time???

So, Aidan turned 5 and Aubrey turned 3 at the end of March.  Both of them are still talking about it, a month later, and Aubrey is convinced that she has another birthday coming up soon.  The concept of a whole year is just too much to digest.  And really, who doesn't want to get presents every month? She gets that from me.








Stats:
Aidan: Height: 43 1/2" (60th %-ile)
           Weight: 39 lbs (36th %-ile)

Aubrey: Height: 38" (74th %-ile)
             Weight: 31 lbs (60th %-ile)





Both healthy and, now that the memory of the shots have faded, happy.







Then there was Easter, spent in IL at my mom and dad's house.  It was so good to see everyone, especially Kali, Kyle, Reese, and Preston.  The kids had a fabulous time playing together.  As long as it did not involve Aidan touching Aubrey.


April.  The only way to describe it is rain, then snow, then rain, then lots more snow.  If you can't beat it, join it.  The kids hopped in rain puddles one day, then went sledding the next.  Every once in awhile Aidan has been able to squeeze in rides on his new bike and trips down the block on his new roller blades.  That kid continues to be one big ball of endless energy.

Catch Up- Part 1

Whew!  Time flies when you have Spring Break, Easter, and two birthday's packed into one month.  You'd think that being on "break" would mean that I had time to sit down at the computer.  That was not the case.  We went to the zoo, ramped up my attempt to train for a 5k (ugh.  I hate running.), and then drove down to IL to celebrate Easter.  Now I'm just really behind in my blogging!  Lot's of pictures to share, but I think I will break them up into separate posts.

1st up in order of when it happened:  Aidan and Aubrey's combined birthday party...Ice Skating!

1st time on skates (for Aubrey).  She looks like a regular little skater!

Ready?

GO!

It was also my first time on skates.  I'm a natural.
(and not very modest) ; )


While she looked cute off the ice, she wasn't quite sure
what to do with her feet once she was on the ice

My favorite 

Finnland at our finest
Party!

Obviously Aidan wanted a hockey cake.
The purple cupcakes were for Aubrey.

Stay tuned for Part 2: Easter
