This is Why I Have Not Been Blogging...

Every single day this month (except one) had a soccer practice, dance class, religion class, soccer game, Girl Scout meeting for Addison, Girl Scout meeting for Lauren, soccer pictures, community service event, Easter weekend festivities, Royals home opener, lots of Royals games, Ladies Night Out event, school carnival, make up soccer games, field trips, hair cuts...and we don't have a free day or a day off until May 16th at this point....

We are so ready for Summer! 

I-Phone Dump. All the Fun We Had in March

Addison loves her boots. She wears them all the time! 

Lauren had an awesome Spring Break, even though she spent most of the week at daycare.  She had field trips every day!  She loves her teachers and they adore her! 

Every night the many stuff animals are rearranged various ways...when Addison is supposed to be sleeping.  It takes her a while to get to sleep each night.  

Another night she took them out of her bed and rearranged them on her floor.  Most of them covered in a blanket.  She was totally quiet.  I had no idea she did this until the next morning.  Crazy kid. 

She loves her Leap pad, especially with the headphones on.  

It is finally starting to feel like Spring! 

Mark sent me roses to work for our 10th anniversary.  He is the best.  

Addison and I went to the zoo for our date day....

while Mark and Lauren went to see The Croods.  

Lauren finally threw away her gingerbread house...over 3 months later.  She took several pictures of it before putting it in the trash.  She even recorded a video about how much she loved the gingerbread house and how sorry she was that it had to be thrown away.   

We dyed Easter eggs...and are still eating them! 

We painted Daddy's face...and head... as an April Fool's joke!  He is such a good sport.  

February- All the Other Stuff

I had a birthday also...on Valentine's Day.  

Mark and the girls made me feel very loved!  And Mark and I enjoyed a date night last weekend.  

Lauren and Addison are the flower girl and ring bearer in a wedding this summer.  They are super excited to wear these pretty white dresses.  

They looked so beautiful trying on the dresses.  I can't wait till the wedding.  

We built a snow man after snow storm #1.  

Little Ms. Addison had to wear her sunglasses, like the neighbor boy down the street! 

Sometimes Addison could do without ALL my picture taking.  

We loved having Daddy home for the snow storm #2.  

Lauren was very busy with Girl Scout activities this month.  

Her whole troop made these medical dolls for the kids at Children's Mercy Hospital.  My mom came up to help out with the sewing.  

Lauren had her 7 year old well child check with Dr. Gladstone.  I absolutely love Dr. Gladstone.  She spent 1 hour in the room talking to me about various concerns that I wanted to discuss.  She is an amazing physician.  Lauren topped the scales at a whole 51 lbs and she is 3'11" tall.  She will be taller than me before I know it! 

Sometimes I find random pictures on my phone that the girls have taken. I love the surprise.  

Addison has  been doing swim lessons on Saturday mornings for the past month.  This is good.  The girl needs to learn how to swim because she seems to think she can do it on her own and does not need any help in the water.  Scary.  She is doing awesome and absolutely loves it.  

Addison was sick on day with a 24 hour GI bug.  I stayed home with her and Lauren got to ride the bus to school...in real shoes, not sandals! 

Lauren and I had date day and we went down to the Municipal Auditorium and watched a cheer leading competition.  One of my heart transplant patients is a cheer leader/gymnast.  Lauren and I had fun.  Mark and Addison went to Paradise Park for the afternoon.  

These boys are a few of our neighbors.  Mark was probably the only one who went to work on day 2 of snowstorm #1 (last Friday.)  As everyone continued to dig themselves out of the snow and the kids ran around the neighborhood playing, the boys enjoyed some beverages...They insisted that I send Mark a picture.  Not very nice, huh?  So about 20 minutes later, Mark sent us a picture of what he was drinking.  A nice warm coffee from Scooter's coffee house.  I love our neighbors.  We have the best neighborhood.  

Snowed in for several days meant workout DVD's at home.  The girls even joined in on the fun.  I love it!   Now onto March and hopefully some warm weather.  Spring break is a week away and I really want it to feel like Spring.  6 weeks until half marathon #3 and I am no where ready to run with all this snow on the ground.  UGH.  I am seriously considering running around the parking lot at the high school this weekend (for 7 miles) so I don't have to do another long run on the treadmill.  I will keep you updated.
