We had a little easter egg hunt in our backyard after naps.

My BFF came to visit us a couple weeks ago. There isn’t a person in the world who is better than she is. She makes me a better person just being around her. I truly am blessed to have such an amazing best friend. For years I prayed for the Lord to bless me with a best friend. I had to wait several years to find her but it was worth it because we are soul mates. lol She knows all the bad about me and she still focuses on my good and loves me.

While she was here she took many pictures of the kids. I’m so glad she did. What I’m even happier about is the fact that my kids are as head over heals for her as I am. 🙂 The two weeks she was here went by too fast. Hallie keeps asking when she is coming back. My answer, “Hopefully soon”.

Here are more pics of the kids Tiffany took.

Hallie had asked Tiffany to stay until Jesus came. (She asks a lot of questions about Jesus’ second coming.) We thought that was hilarious! Hallie even asked her husband and all of her family (parents, siblings, etc) to come live with us, just to seal the deal. Of course giving priority to Tiffany and her husband in offering them her princess castle in the playroom. Can you tell we love her? Best friends are heaven sent. 🙂

This week we were able to go to the Piccadilly Circus. I told Hallie we were going a few days prior and although she was excited for a family adventure she had no idea what a “circus” was. I explained that the circus involved special animals that do tricks and her excitement grew. The day of the circus she talked of little else. All day it was “Mom is it time to go to the circus?” “Is it night time yet?” (Meaning time for the circus.) I just laughed at her constant questioning. I was pretty excited myself. (In our family Ben hardly EVER gets excited about something. I think Hallie and I make up for his lack with our over exuberance.)

When we got to the circus Hallie was all smiles and constant giggles. I love watching her when she is like that. The show was small but great and the kids enjoyed every second of it. It included silks, (which you might remember Ben and I are now skilled at) juggling, acrobats, women acrobats in thongs (why I may never understand), zebras, camels, and elephants. Hallie got to sit so close to the elephants she could have reached out and touched one. It was an awesome way to create a memory.

On Tuesday  we drove into D.C. and met up with two of my besties, Kami and Ginnie. It was the perfect day. We went to the Lincoln Memorial, World War II Memorial, and the Washington Monument. We even had a little picnic and let the kids run around. I’m pretty sure it was heaven for all of us. 🙂 I love where we live!

They really enjoyed themselves.

Hallie started dance class about a month ago and she loves it! It is hilarious to watch these little 3 and 4 year olds concentrate so hard. You can literally see their brains working trying to send the message to their feet. Hallie’s class is half ballet and half tap. Kyle is so jealous. Despite the toys they have in the waiting room he tries to go in the studio every week. Who knew having kids 23 months apart would end up being like having twins. Where Hallie goes Kyle goes and visa versa. (Except dance. Hence the tears.)

Here is a link to the real action. (Mostly for the grandma’s)

After our date the Trapeze school offered a two for one class special that I just couldn’t pass up.  This last Monday I went back for a two hour class  using only the trapeze. It was incredible! There were only 6 of us students and so we got lots of tries on the trapeze. I learned some new tricks like a back flip dismount and a new jumping catch. So awesome!

Here is the link to my new catch trick. It was a jumping catch which means I had to completely jump off the bar before I was caught. I can’t wait to go again!

I have been so bad at blogging that I have so many pictures of the kiddos I don’t know how to categorize them. This blog is a camera clean up. Lots of random pictures of the two cutest kids in the world. Who at the moment are refusing to nap and are causing me to pull out my newly dyed hair..Maybe looking at some cute pictures of them will soften my attitude toward them. It’s worth a shot.

Let’s rewind to Valentines Day:

Other Random days over the last month:

I love my munchies. They keep me laughing and smiling in between moments where they try my patience. I couldn’t imagine life with out my two little sidekicks.

 L.O.V.E

We eat it every day!

For valentines this year Ben bought us a date package to the Trapeze School in D.C. It was such a great present. We had a blast to say the least. I love love love little adventures like this. It was so fun discovering new things we can do. Thanks babe for the wonderful gift. You nailed it!

The Silks:

I took some great photos of Ben posing but he won’t allow the public to view them. lol

Partner Balancing: This was hilarious!

Trapeze: I wasn’t nervous at all until I climbed the ladder. Oh my! I was still shaking after I was back on the ground. They gave us two tries each and if they thought your form was good they let you try a catch but you only had one chance.

I loved it so much that I signed up for two more classes. (They are much cheaper than the package we bought.) The classes will only be trapeze and I will get to learn new tricks and catches. So exciting!!!!
