Golf anyone??

We often take the cubs out to the golf course to burn off a little energy. Here's Zach putting for birdie!

The cubs turn three!!

On April 28th, the cubs turned 3!!

Frosting face.:

A lot of playing, not much eating.:


It's so hard to believe that the cubs are three. I look back in amazement, and I can't believe how small they were, and how far they have come. They are our precious little miracle cubs!!

We had a small celebration with Grandma and Grandpa Bear. The cubs aren't big cake eaters, so cupcakes were perfect. They were fascinated with the candles and enjoyed all the extra attention.

Happy birthday CUBS!!!

It's all good, as long as we have our trains.

It seems we can't catch a break from being sick. Preschool has introduced us to a new batch of germs. Approximately every two weeks or so one, if not both, of the cubs is sick. Here is Zach sucking up the sympathy, with his pillow, blankie, and his favorite engines. Yep, I think he's pretty cute even when he's sick.

Splishing and splashing

The cubs had their first pool experience after the Soccer Tots debacle. They were quite hesitant at first, but once they got used to it, it was hard to get them out. They stayed on the play ledge, played in the gushers, and had a blast trying to splash water at their daddy.

Emily and Kristi, just checking it out.:

Ok, this might be fun.:

Trying to splash Daddy.:

I think Zach got him!:

We could get used to this!:


Kristi was here to join us for the March of Dimes walk. Unfortunately, even though the weather was beautiful on this Friday afternoon, it poured most of the night and into Saturday morning. Although the walk still went on as planned, we opted not to go due to the weather and the walk conditions. Parts of the walk were not paved, making for a muddy mess, and I was planning on taking the wagon (too bad it didn't have 4-wheel drive). So the cubs and I spent the day with Kristi, doing a little shopping and eating lunch at Cheddars. We appreciate all the donations made on our behalf, and we look forward to walking next year (as long as the weather cooperates).

Soccer tots

On April 16th, I took the cubs to Soccer Tots. My friend Kristi was in town so she went with us to lend a helping hand. The cubs really seemed to like it, as long as they could do their own thing. Each cub wanted their own ball, and they only wanted to kick it up and down the field. They didn't want to sit down, or listen to the coach, or do anything else that they were told to do. They are very stubborn. At least they released some of their energy. I'm happy to report there was only one injury...a busted lip. MINE!! I guess I should have signed a liability waiver for myself too. I was trying to get Zach to sit on his mat, when he leaped up and clocked me in the lip with his extremely hard head. So, first ever soccer experience and first ever busted lip for mom. NICE. Not to mention the grand-scale temper tantrum Zach threw as we were leaving. UGH.

First one in....

On April 3rd (the one year anniversary of the house purchase), Steve decided he would be the first one in the pool. The water was a crisp, refreshing 68 degrees. WAY too cold for the rest of us.

Jumping in....

Splash!

Even Steve is asking...

"Have you blogged yet??"

SIGH!!

To everyone's disappointment (I'm sure), I have not blogged yet...and I have SO much blogging to do. If Blogger would cooperate with the photo uploads it would make things so much easier. Here's my topic list of things to come: photos of Steve's first dive in the pool, (non)March of Dimes walk, cubs at Soccer Tots, the Cubs' first pool experience, golf pics, and of course, the most important of recent events: the CUBS' THIRD BIRTHDAY!! In between is a lot of the mundane: school updates, speech therapy updates, health updates, yadda yadda yadda. To my faithful blog readers, please don't give up hope, I will blog eventually! :)
