Mothers Day 2009

What a great day! We went to church this morning as a family. Then later that afternoon Stephen surprised me by sending me and my friend Melissa shopping for the afternoon. Stephen and Mike (melissa's husband) took care of the kids while Melissa and I went and shopped. Macy had her first "all girls shopping afternoon". It was GREAT!

James went over to our next door neighbors house to play. Apparently Kaitlin was trying to finish her homework before coming out to play. James came back home with paper and pencil to show me his homework. pretty cute.

Macy loves her exersaucer!

One of Will's favorite things is to take apart things that are broken to see what it looks like inside. After determining that we could not salvage his favorite "christmas train" we decided to let him take it apart. He still carries all the pieces that he took apart in a ziploc baggie. Often times he will dump out the pieces and look at them.

Daddy's birthday

We went to the aquarium as a family. We spent most of our time at heritage farm - barn and animals, windmill, wagon rides, vineyard, etc. We had fun hiking and hangin out.

We had a little party for daddy. The boys love celebrating birthdays. They blew up balloons, made cards and blew out daddy's candles!

Macy sleeping in her "give me all your money" pose. We stole that saying from Uncle Todd.

James loves holding his little sister. His eyes light up and you can tell he is so proud of himself. He says, "Mommy you can go clean the kitchen. I'm taking care of Macy." It is so sweet.

Precious angel!

Will, James and Macy at the Aquarium

We had such a nice time at the Aquarium. The weather was perfect. The boys climbed, hiked, and explored for a couple of hours. We have been couped up for several weeks becasue the weather has been pretty cold and windy. It was pretty apparent that we needed to get out when I saw the boys running and running and running at the aquarium. Macy slept the whole time. It was a perfect day to enjoy the perfect weather.
