Aubrey wanted a scooter so badly. The one she chose at the store, is the cute pink one right behind her in this pic. She rode it all over for about a week and then decided she needed a Razor like Wesley. My neighbor was kind enough to let her borrow one of her daughter's old Razor Scooters. So, now Aubrey feels like a big girl. I am so grateful to have kind neighbors.

We enjoyed attending the kindergarten program this year. It was cute and Wesley did a great job on his one line speaking part, "I'm gonna yawn, yawn, yawn my sleepies out". Wesley is very obedient and loves school. I was able to go read to his class this week, and I was pleased to see that he is friends with most of the kids in his class.


Cali loves to be outside and tries so hard to be just like her older siblings! One of her most favorite games right now is 'Run from Mom and Dad as fast as I can to places I should not be'. So fun;-) ha!

Cali has also taken a sudden turn from being little Miss play-by-myself and happy-with-baby-sitters, to Miss I-want-my-mom-and-nobody-else. It's great to be loved! Hence the third wheel on my date with my hubby tonight;-) *sigh* At least she was pleasant.

Swim practice started a couple weeks ago. Aubrey thought the water was to cold and is afraid of the Coach, so her glory days of swim team totalled about 4 days. She loved the warm-up exercises and is pretty good at doing lunges around the pool; but getting her in the water was not easy. Oh well. She is 3. We will see if she has interest next year.
Wesley is still going strong and is really excited for the first meet on May 8Th. He is doing better and if he could only get his breathing down, he'd be a rocket, I'm sure. :-)
Oh!! And I don't have a picture of this yet to show you, but thanks to my friends daughter, who is Wesley's age, Wesley is now riding his bike WITH NO TRAINING WHEELS!!! Hooray! He is sooooo happy and it was so great to see his eyes light up and to hear his little "I did it" laugh. Wesley saw Mallory ride up on her bike with no training wheels, and decided if she could do it, so could he! So, he set to work practicing on his little red bike - then moved on to 'the big green' bike.

Even though it is warm here now, the water in the pool is freezing! It hasn't warmed up here like in past years. Last year at this time, I thought I was gonna melt.
GO CROCS!!! We will keep ya posted on Wesley's swim season....May he do better and improve his time from last year. Success!!!

Well at least Cali can use the pink scooter!! That's so funny!

Remind me to show you what I want to make when we make our shirts. I made a pattern for it.

I agree the weather has been strange this year. It's usually in the 80s-90's by now here at Needles, but it's been more in the high 60s and 70s. The swimming looks so fun, and I can't believe how big Cali is getting. Aubrey is so funny.
Keep on enjoying your darling family.
