Lloyd & Margie's 40 Anniversary Dinner

For their anniversary, Margie and Lloyd took us all out to dinner at Black Bear Diner.  The kids love to play on the toys outside the restaurant.  As always we all had a great time spending time with the family!

Tyler Turned 10!

Checkups & Hair Cuts

Allie had her two and a half year checkup yesterday.  The Dr said that she looks really good.  She is a big girl who is growing nicely.  She is weighing in at 31 lbs 1 oz (75%) and is 38 inches (95%) inches tall.  Making her BMI 22%.  Allie is mostly in 3T clothes already.  She is very quickly growing up and is no longer my baby.  She is a toddler and soon to become a preschooler in September. Allie has starting talking more and more.  She surprises us daily on the new words she knows.  She still loves Frozen and Anna is her favorite  She is back to loving Nursery at church and is loving all the songs.  She loves the popcorn songs and has me sing it often with her.  She still loves to snuggle with her mommy and loves to be "big".

Allie got her first hair cut today.  Megan said she wanted to get her hair cut first so that she could show Allie how to do it like a big girl.  Megan did really good during her hair cut and was a good example for Allie.  Allie was such a big girl during her hair cut.  She sat in her chair nice and still and did everything Heidi told her to do.  It's amazing how good she was for her, never that good for me.  She always moves around a lot when I trim her bangs or do her hair.  They both got some yummy McDonald's after for being so good.  I loves these girls of mine so much!

Kids and Their Dogs

Rocks & Indoor Soccer

Tyler has been playing indoor soccer this winter.  They have a bunch of big rocks outside the rec center that the kids love to play on.  They really wanted their pictures taken on the rocks.  Good thing for camera's on phones.
Tyler really enjoys playing soccer but hasn't seemed to been playing as good as he normally does.  He just hasn't been trying as hard as he used to.  His stamina just hasn't been very good.  After we signed Josh up for Little League we asked Tyler if he wanted to try baseball.  At first he said no he didn't want to play baseball, only soccer.  But then a few days later we talked him into it.  In baseball you don't have to run the whole time and he might actually do really well.  Tyler is really good at practicing and he wants to get better at skills.  We're excited to see how Josh and Tyler do playing baseball this Spring.

Megan's First Cavities

The dentist found a few little cavities on Megan at her last dental checkup.  I checked her out of school early and Allie and I took her to the dentist to get them fixed.  Allie had fun playing at the little play area and with their tablet.  She did good entertaining herself while Megan was back with the dentist.
Megan did a great job.  They were able to just use some gas to help her relax and they said she did a great job.  Even Josh needed to be sedated last year when he got work done.  She is such a big girl and I am so proud of her and and how brave she is.  Hopefully we wont have to get more dental work done for a long time, but it's good to know that she can take it like a champ.
