Kate and Elle

Man, they are CUTE!!!!!

Kate and Elle have such a love hate relationship. Today they are loving eachother.

Kate looks just like me in this picture. I swear somewhere I have a picture of me at her age, and I looks just like Kate. I need to find that picture.



Elle loves to wear my high heel shoes. She puts them on in my room, and walks down the stairs wearing them, and then today she got up in the chair wearing my heels. What a girl!!!!!!!!!!!

Elle is showing off her new outfit that she got from a sweet friend of ours. Thanks!!!!!

Lauren's new favorite thing is...

...Her Roy Hibbert Shoe!

After the last game of the season, the Pacers players gave out autographed things to the crowd. After a lot of screaming and trying to get a players attention, Lauren ended up with a Roy Hibbert shoe. Yes, just one shoe! She was so excited, and she just loves it.
Thanks so much to Alan and Beth for the invite to the game. It was a BLAST!!

Spring Break in...

... Chicago!

The drive to Chicago was a bit long for Elle. As soon as we got to our hotel, Elle climbed up in the bed and got comfortable.



What else do you do to a giant head, but pick it's nose?!

Running around the steps of the Field Museum.

At the end of Navy Pier.

Kate never wants to hold any ones hand. And Elle is usually the same. Yet today, they held each others hands.

The main reason for the trip to Chicago, was to go to the Temple. It is a beautiful temple, and I am so glad we went.

look Dad, Barbie has a...

...Butt Parker was getting pretty bored in the Barbie exhibit at the Children's Museum. He had to find ways to entertain himself, and he noticed that yes indeed, Barbie has a butt.

Elle loves to climb through the tunnel and go down the slide.
Kate had fun doing Barbie's hair with mom.
Elle got wipped out at the museum...too much fun!

It's good to be...

...31

This year my Birthday was 4 days of celebrations.

It sarted with Girls night out at Olive Garden on Thursday. What a great group of friends I have here in Indiana. Thanks Ladies!!

Friday night we went to a Pacers game and sat right next to the Pacers bench. It was a blast. Dahntay Jones' gave Dustin and I five. And the head coach talked to us. Very exciting!!!

It is cool to be so close to the pacers huddle that I could hear what they were talking about.

One of the nicest people I know watched our kids for us, and even took them to the game too. Thanks so much Beth and Alan!!!!!!!!!!!

Saturday morning I ran a 10k for my birthday.

And on Sunday we get to eat CAKE and ICE CREAM! Yummy!

my first race...a 10k

The morning started out early for us. We woke the kids up at 6:30.

Before the race started, there was a kids fun run. Lauren and Parker ran it. Kate was in a true Kate mood and she refused. Lauren and Parker loved it, and felt part of the race.

Half way.

The end! YAY!

Amanda, Lyndee and I had a great time running together.

Lauren and Ella got their faces painted at a Pacers game.

As you can see, the kids don't go to Pacers games to watch basketball, they go to play with friends.
