Sports & Critters

We have had a full couple weeks of sports and critters!
Below is just a cute playgroup pix! We've been meeting with some of these kids for over 4 years on a weekly basis - sooo fun!!
This is Kyle on his new spiderman bike behind the super cool gate Grandma and Papa got! However the most exciting news is that we took off the training wheels of his old, 12 inch bike, threw him on... and get this... he can ride (I'm amazed b/c Ri was 6 when she learned and Kyle just turned 4 less than a month ago)! 1st try the kiddo just took off! Kyle also learned how to hula hoop this week - but I'm sure there will be plenty of pix of hoopin after Delfest!

I mentioned critters... this is what I found in the garage when I got home from work the other day! When kids got off the bus, they went crazy over this little guy (now named Boo-boo!) they loved and hugged him till I thought he'd pop! Boo-boo is now back in the wild! We also found a chipmunk (still alive!) when getting our camping gear down in the garage. I think Taz is getting old - he bring them in and then they get away! (whew!) Our baby birds have also flown the coop - I hope thats what happened anyway!


Ri's tennis just ended and look at this rainbow! However swim team has begun and she LOVES it! This summer is going to be fun!

We also participated in the Dolphin Dash - a one mile fun run.

Riley and Marissa held hands nearly the entire mile:-)


We are excited about this summer - however Riley will miss school and Mrs. Sullivan a LOT! I got an email from the other day from Mrs. Sullivan - "How cute is Riley's giggle...when she really gets giggling:-) She has had a case of the giggles for the past few weeks. It makes me so happy to hear her fantastic laugh!" We love Mrs. Sullivan!

After the dolphin dash, the kids had a Wii Just Dance party in the gym:

May Catch up!

Playing catch up... in no particular order, the last month of Riley and Kyle:




Soccer: Kyle loves it! He would much rather play the game than practice



(which happens to be the absolute opposite of Riley!)


We have baby birds in a bush right off the deck! Spring is here!




We have all loved watching them grow! What a great experience!




This is a GIANT ball you roll inside of! Thanks Aunt Darcy!


On Kyles actual bday, we went to a May Day festival in Bebe's neighborhood. Below is a series of pix of Kyle dancing... he was nuts!








Below is Riley and Lexa doing the sack race!


Moon bounce!


Easter!












For Kyle's 4th bday party, we went to Jump Zone - insanity!


Batman cake! Kyle is not 36.5 pounds and 41.5 inches


He had soooo much fun!


Spring break was in the past month as well. We took the kids up to DC for the day:


The Butterfly exhibit at the Natural History Museum


The Washington Monument


The best part - the metro ride!



The ride there (they were up EARLY because they were so excited!)





random cute pix from church!


Such a cutie - enjoying a beautiful spring night!
