Today was Ellie's birthday! We had a great time. For the first time ever she got to have her party on her actual birthday. We had a sprinkler party in the backyard. It was 95 degrees and humid so it was very good the kids were wet. It was a lot of fun. After her party she got to open presents and we went to Rain Forest Cafe for dinner. As you can imagine the kids were exhausted tonight. I can't believe how grown up Ellie is. It's so fun to see her grow up and learn new things. We love her.
We had a great time in North Carolina over the Forth of July. The kids loved being with their cousins. The drive was a little long, but we survived. Thank goodness for a car with a TV.
We are finally done with school and all activities. It was a fun but very busy spring for us. Zack had a great time playing baseball and soccer and Ellie loved softball and soccer. Carter and Audrey were great spectators and with games almost every night I had a good excuse to never make a good dinner. It was great, but now it's very nice to not have schedules and enjoy summer.
It's been so long I can't even try to catch up. Sorry. Audrey has turned into a pill. She's fun and cute but she is a pill. She is into everything and the more you try to stop her the more serious she gets about it. For example if she is squeezing a bottle of lotion and she sees us coming to stop her she squeezes harder and harder. I spend my day closing drawers and moving things out of her reach. It's fun. I'm sure this stage will pass soon...I've been telling myself that for a quite a while.
