Let's play catch up...

Surprise! I'm actually updating our blog. These pictures are from a while ago... I meant to post them, I just never got around to actually sitting down to upload them. And, since it has been so long since I last posted, I have obviously forgotten how to upload pictures in the right order. These pictures are sort of backwards and out of order.

Watch out! Our little Brookie Bear has learned how to crawl.

I took Brooke swimming for her first time. She loved it!

After an afternoon playing with Aunt Kimmy, Brooke was too tired to stay awake for dinner.

Jena went to the dentist for her very first time. I know, I'm awful. She's almost 5! But, since she will be starting kindergarten in the fall, I figured I had better take her. Luckily, she had gone on a field trip to a pediatric dentist close by our house, so I decided to take her there since she was already familiar with the place. She was so good! She loved that she got to watch a movie and wear sunglasses so the light wasn't in her eyes. And the best part.....no cavities! Wahoo!! Way to go Jena!

Dreyson still loves to play dress up. He now has his own box of boy dress ups (ya know, a pirate, superman, race car driver, cowboy, etc.) thanks to Grandma, and somehow I still find him in Jena's dress ups most of the time. Notice how he put the dress on by himself.

In February, my father in law took all the sons and grandsons to see the Harlem Globetrotters. Dreyson loved it! He still talks about when he and Dad got to go to the basketball game and how there were "no girls allowed!" He thought it was pretty fun to go and spend time with just Dad.

He even got his basketball signed by Special K

Since all the grandsons got to go to the basketball game, my mother in law took all the granddaughters to do something fun as well. Jena and I got to go with her cousin Mary and her mom to Disney On Ice.

This was right up their alley. They both love the princesses and loved seeing all the characters.

Kevin and I took the kids ice skating for Kevin's birthday. It was so much fun. I was impressed at how well they could do it, even though they are still so little. Whoever thought up these "walker" type things for the kids to hold onto while on the ice, is a genius! It was awesome because they could hold on to them and skate by themselves. It made the kids feel like they were so big and could do it by themselves, rather than having to hold on to Kevin or me.
