Spring Break 2014 started off with the best possible day...Hannah's birthday! We spent her birthday celebrating her with lunch with Isaac, then lunch with Daddy (yes, we only ate with Daddy), then a fun afternoon at home playing outside and eating her favorite meal...pizza! We gave her a Minnie Mouse beauty set that included a pretend hairdryer, curling iron, mirror, brush, lipstick, perfume, and bows. It was small and simple, but she loved it! All morning she was telling everyone about her new hairdryer.
All 3 waiting anxiously to open Hannah's presents!
The next day was party day! We started the day at the fire station for a birthday party for a dear friend. It was fun to go back there this year, the boys enjoyed it just as much as last year and even Hannah loved it! Although Hannah and Luke were not fans of the firefighter's firesuit and mask. The picture above is Luke "driving" the firetruck.
After the birthday party we headed across town for Aaron and Ana's wedding reception. It was a fabulous party, and we are all so happy for them! The party was just perfect, they are a sweet couple with a lifetime of love ahead of them!
The next day we went to Soo Jin's house to celebrate her birthday with lunch. It was a great time! The kids love playing at her house, they love chasing and tormenting her cats. Heehee!
After lunch we came home, Carson and Rudi joined us, because Carson wanted to try out the dirt bike. Just the day before a friend had brought over a small dirt bike for Isaac to ride on, he couldn't wait to get on it! Carson had never ridden one before, so he really wanted to learn as well.
It was so fun! Both boys did great!!! Isaac was a bit hesitant at first, but by the end of that day he was flying! Carson really enjoyed it, and did so well! The smiles on their faces were priceless!!! This day was the start of a new obsession for Isaac. Everyday of the break he talked about the dirt bike and begged to ride it. He even cried when we didn't let him ride it one day. The boy is hooked! On Friday we took him to a friend's house, this friend is involved with motorcross and has a track at his house. Isaac followed him around the track for a total of about an hour and a half! Even after that he wanted to ride more. While we were there the boys got to enjoy a show...there was another motorcross rider there, he rode fast and did some cool jumps for us. The boys were in awe!!!
Hannah had her 2 year check up during the break...she did great! She only cried a little during her check up and was happy the rest of the time. She checked out fine! She weighed in at 24.5 lbs and 32.5 inches tall.
Luke adores his sister...yes, they fight, they wrestle, and they argue, but they also play so well together, have so many of the same interests, and take such good care of each other. One morning this week I was helping her eat her cereal, and he jumped in asking to feed/help her. It was precious! She was all smiles and he felt so big!
Speaking of big...this boy accomplished something huge over the break! He learned to ride his bicycle without training wheels!!! He has been close for months, but didn't have the confidence. Hannah got a balance bike for her birthday, and he loves it! He rode it a ton the first few days we had it. Then he watched Isaac ride the dirt bike, and he wanted to try, but I told him he had to learn to ride his bicycle first. Well, the very next day, he did it!!! I think the balance bike helped build his confidence and the dirt bike motivated him. I'm so proud of him!!!! We practiced on the drive way, on the dirt road, and then back to the drive way...and by Thursday afternoon he was riding all alone on the driveway!!! The smile on his face was adorable, I could tell he felt so big and so special, and he is so big and so special!
We ended the week with another birthday party on Saturday (one of Luke's school friends), church on Sunday morning, and a visit with great friends on Sunday evening. It was a wonderful week, and I was sad to see it end. I am now even more ready for summer vacation, time for us all to be together and make more memories!
