Happy Birthday Helen

Helen had a great birthday party.  Helen loves to cook with me and I thought it would be a great idea to invite her friends to cook with her for her birthday so we had a party in the kitchen.  The kids decorated cupcakes, made cookies and made their own smoothies.  Helen requested a fish theme so they decorated fishbowl cupcakes.  This party gave me a lot of inspiration how to do our own kitchen party at home although we'll have a few less people.  Happy Birthday Helen!  We love you.

The kids worked together to catch a butterfly.  They gave it a name that I can't recall.  This butterfly did make it out alive, a spring miracle for sure.

Spring 2012

Spring came and went.  Carys and Poppy's birthdays, tulips, planting seeds and hiking in the cool weather.  We are ramping up for swimming, popsicles, bike rides (well maybe not me:) and sprinkler days with BBQ.
