ANOTHER beautiful weekend!

With another beautiful weekend came fun in the sun!  This weekend we had Will Baker's Birthday party. Will is a friend of Demi's that is about one month younger than her.  As you can see below he had a great time and so did all the big kids "helping" him open all of his gifts. It was also really pretty outside and a great opportunity for me to attempt to get a photo of Daley and Demi  in a matching outfit.  The photos are okay....I only wish I could get Demi to cooperate!  I don't remember this being a huge deal with Daley, but with Demi it is next to IMPOSSIBLE to make her look at the camera!

After Will's Birthday Demi was exhausted so we took her home and Zach stayed with her and I took Daley to the Carnival in Trussville to meet her Cousin JB, Uncle Philip, Aunt Tiffany, Yia Yia and Berts.  She had a great time.  She was able to ride most of the rides. I should get some type of award though for keeping her out of the bounce house as there were boys in there that looked to be 12 years old or better that would have flattened her like a pancake! 

I am glad that we got another weekend to play outside and enjoy our friends.  I also would like to wish John Vakakes (a dear friend from Church) and Laura Brantley (a dear friend for the better portion of my life who also turned 30) Happy Birthdays this week!

Love,

Lindsey

Spring Fever?

Spring is here!  And poor Demi had a fever!

Demi is doing good now. Zach was able to leave work early Thursday when they called from school and asked us to come and get her. I called and immediately got her an appointment and they said it was her ears.  She has been on antibiotics and has been at home. I stayed home from work with her on Friday and since then she has been doing and feeling great.  Friday was only when the great weather merely started to make an appearance though, so it wasn't like we were stuck in doors the whole weekend at all.  Saturday and Sunday we were able to get out and do a couple of fun things.  Saturday night we cooked out with friends and Sunday after Church we went to the park for a sweet baby friend Alexa's first Birthday Party!  The weather was absolutely gorgeous and the girls had a blast. I am so excited for many weekends to come like this one.  I will never get sick of great weather!

I really just love this time of year!  I love everything about spring except for maybe the pollen which is not in full force yet. What's not to like other than that though? Cute clothes for the girls!  Outdoor activities........ swimming, beaching, parks or heck.....just hanging out in the backyard!  Daylight savings time ensued this weekend and this makes me oh, so happy!  I will never understand why it needs to be dark at 5 p.m..  It is just silly!  There is so much we can do after work and school now and it makes my house run much more smoothly. I can cook while at least Daley is playing in the backyard.  Zach and I have actually committed to start running together too!  We did our first 5-K together last weekend.  I thought he would not be interested in this at all and now that he has run one he is totally set on improving his time and wants to do another race! All child illnesses pending I think we will be running in Crestline this weekend.

I love taking pictures of the girls in the Spring because the colors are bright and the scenery is beautiful!  I have posted a few of our racing pics below and some pics from Alexa's birthday party.  I think my camera will be making more appearances with me in weeks to come so stay tuned!

Demi's Birthday Party

Demi's 1st Birthday Party was at Yankee Pizzeria.  We had a great time!  There was another party going on at the exact same time and he was also celebrating his first birthday, so it was a little hard to keep our parties seperated.  We even had a sweet little boy from our party climb up on the table of the other party and start eating their cup cakes.  I think that is the best part of these brithdays though.  Stories like that!  These kids are just precious at this age!  We are so happy that so many of our family and friends were able to come and we enjoyed celebrating this milestone so much with our sweet Demi!
