St. Patrick's Day

Our St. Patrick's Day was pretty calm here. :) We did venture out to Greenbelt Park to feed the ducks with the Chris' Family. The kids enjoyed running up and down the creek bank and playing with their cousins. It was an absolutely gorgeous day today. I am loving the tuplip poplar trees right now. They are so, so gorgeous. Can't get enough of them.

Hiking Abrams Falls

We decided to take the kids up to the mountains this weekend and hike to Abrams Falls. It is a 5 mile hike round trip, but something we had both been wanting to do for some time. The kids did amazing. They didn't complain one time. They slipped, slid and hiked through mud and puddles left from the mornings rain. We were so proud of them. The trip went great and Doug and I really enjoyed ourselves. Kate did well too - She seemed to enjoy the ride as she was carried in the baby bjorn carrier. Doug carried her the first half of the hike, we let her stretch her legs at the falls for a bit and then I back-packed her on the last 2.5 miles. The kids were worn out on the way home and Noah even fell asleep in the car (something that never happens with him).... but they did say they would like to go back again. The falls were gorgeous and it has been such a long time since either Doug or I had hiked that trail. It was so good to see them again.

First Night of Spring Soccer 2011 Season

First night of spring soccer for Noah. We froze! Hopefully we'll get some warm weather soon. :) Noah played awesome and he is so excited because his good friend Riley is on his team this season. We should also be hearing from Rachel's coach very soon. We froze our buns off out there though! I ended up taking Kate to the car while Rachel toughed it out on her daddy's lap.

Lunch Date With Daddy

The kids got to go out to the tower with me and have lunch with their daddy. We loaded up and took him a calzone from Metro's (his favorite) while we shared a large cheese pizza (our favorite). They love to go out there and see where he works.

Basketball Party

Noah's basketball season ended the week of his birthday. They followed up with a party about a week ago. Noah was so excited to recieve his trophy! Another season over and another job well done! Way to go Noah! :)
