The March recap

I always get excited when the calendar flips to March because that means spring break is right around the corner, and warmer weather is on its way. Anyone who knows me well knows that I am not a fan of cold. We celebrated Doug's 37th birthday on March 9th. He sure is getting old!

Our spring break this year was very low key. No one came to visit us, and we didn't go anywhere either. The boys camped with Grandma and Grandpa the first weekend at Knoll Ridge park, and other than our Grapevine Mills outing with Sara and Rachel on St. Patrick's day, we pretty much just did a lot of hanging out around the house which was just fine with me.

We treated the kids to lunch at Rainforest cafe. Claire loved watching the monkeys.

Davin's 4th birthday was on Saturday, March 19th. He chose to have his party at Paradise Pond again. Last year he had about 20 friends there. This year we had a much smaller crowd because the baseball opening ceremonies were at the same time as his party, but he had a blast with the friends and family that were able to come.

The big kids even enjoyed playing with all the toys and equipment.

Daddy even enjoyed sliding over and over again with his princess.

What a Daddy's girl!

Claire loved playing with all the baby dolls.

Davin chose a pirate themed party! It turned out really cute.

fun with friends

Time for cake!

Claire got shy when everyone started singing to Davin!

The silly shot!The "group" shot. Uncle James had to sit in the picture so Claire wouldn't cry!

My big boy!

What a blessed family we are!!!!The wonderful staff packs all the gifts up for you, and you open them once you get home so that everyone gets the maximum amount of play time! It kind of keeps the fun going.

Davin loved all of his gifts!

Especially his brand new bike!

Davin at 4 years.....weight: 35.8lbs(50%); length 41 1/4 inches (75%)

Ethan at 4 years weighed 38.6lbs(75%), and was 40inches long(50%).

One of these days in all my spare time (lol!) I am going to get out old disc and upload previous pics of Ethan and Davin's younger years pre-blog!!! Perhaps I can make that a summer project!!

We also realized that we never did Ethan's 8 year well check so he and an 8 and 1/2 year well check when Davin went in for his. At 8 years 6 months Ethan weighs 57.8lbs(40%) and is 49 1/4 inches(20%) I wonder how old the boys will be when Davin surpasses Ethan in height! I am so grateful to God for my 3 beautiful babies!
