Alexis' 6th Birthday Party!

We enjoyed celebrating Alexis' 6th Birthday on Saturday even though her actual birthday is tomorrow the 29th. She invited 7 friends and had a wonderful time! They played fun games, had a Scavenger Hunt, decorated cookies, colored some pictures and ate yummy cupcakes! We laughed at how different and quiet this party was in comparison to Joshua's or Lucas'! We played background music because it was sooo quiet! The giggles were not long in coming however. Click on the top picture of Alexis to see some more snapshots from the party.

Joshua's 3rd Birthday Party!

Bday-3-2

Bday-3-3

Joshua's birthday is actually Tuesday but we had his party today. He chose a Winnie the Pooh theme and we had a lot of fun putting the cake together. I made the cake and frosting and our very good friend, Jessica, frosted it! Joshua invited his 2 best friends, Blake & Kylie (and their families). We colored a Winnie the Pooh page, decorated cookies (because Joshua LOVES cookies), played some outside games and even did a slip n' slide. It was a bit chilly and cloudy so that didn't last too long but the kids had fun if you can count all the screams and laughs that could be heard! Click on the picture of Joshua and his cake to see lots of other fun moments from the party!

2nd Trip to Buffelspoort

Well, we had so much fun the first time that we decided to go again! This time we went during the week when things were much quieter at the resort. Since the weather was warmer we were able to do more swimming outside which the kids just loved! We also took their bikes this time which was a highlight. We went on a family walk each night and tried new little roads all around the place. Just click on the picture of the kids to see a few more. I will also add that this picture was very quick and only after I cleared the ants and spider off the tree so they could sit on the branch! Oh, the wonderful outdoors!

A Trip to the Library

We love to take a trip to the library every other week. Our kids love to read books! Alexis always looks for princess books, Joshua picks anything at his eye level and Lucas chooses non-fiction or Where's Waldo books. We are so blessed to have a library we can visit! Our library also has a kitchen play area that our kids enjoy playing in after they have found their books.
