Skaters

Max couldn't wait for this free skate day hosted by the city of Sierra Madre. It was a little intimidating for him since he was by far the youngest kid there. Kudos to him for being brave enough to battle the big kids. I think the snacks, ice cream and tattoos were great incentive to stick it out.

I love this little skater!

We all scream for ice cream!

This is my 4 year old.

She hates to eat!

She doesn't get dessert when she doesn't eat.

She acts like this when she doesn't get dessert.

This is not the first time it has happened.

She really was "screaming for ice cream."

Fackrell foodie

It's so hard for me to believe....

I finally got a baby who will voluntarily eat.

Thank you Lukie for opening your mouth for every bite. (Yes, it's a big deal to me.)

The game ball

It was 100 degrees outside,

And after pounding oodles of gatorade and water...

Max got the game ball.

It was well deserved.

Future fashion designer?

She changes her clothes at least 5 times a day....

but this creative style/color combo deserved a photo for memory sake.

I know who I am!

I've been sitting Luke in front of the mirror ever since he could lock his eyes on me and smile. He loves it and is always so smiley and happy but looks at me the entire time. It was so fun to see his face light up when he recognized himself for the first time. He stared for a few minutes, then smiled, and kept smiling. He seemed so pleased with his cute little grin.

It turned into 10 minutes of this.....Even he can't resist himself. :)

Easter 09

We had an early Easter egg hunt at the Bethany Lutheran Church in Sierra Madre. It turned out to be more fun then we could have hoped.

Easter attire, curly hair and tattoo included

Games

Face painting

A petting zoo. What a cutie Sydney is. (Sydney's face painting job had issues. :)

She wanted to take it home with her. My little animal lover.

The long awaited egg hunt!

Even the baby enjoyed nibbling on the plastic eggs.

His first Easter was a hit!
