Hopping into Spring

Spring Break comes to an end after today. It was fun while it lasted. :) I've loved not setting an alarm all week! We stayed in Fort Wayne this year and enjoyed lots of family time & did fun things around the city. We were even able to enjoy a few non-rainy days outside soaking up some sunshine. 
Lucy got a new bike right before spring break. She is getting better and better at pedaling. She loves the little basket, so she can have some friends ride along.
One of the days, we made homemade modeling clay. The kids designed little things to paint after they dried. Lucy mostly made "balls" so I helped her out and made a pig & duck too. Ben made a cool Luigi face, a penguin, and a few other small things. 
We spent a fun Sunday afternoon at Science Central.
 Lucy thought the mirrors were hilarious. She could not get over how crazy she looked.
 
 
This thing reminded me of the game Operation. Curt did it so easily and I kept making it buzz. It was making me crazy that I couldn't do it as well as him!
 
Ben tried "Walking on the Moon" for the first time. He said it was fun, but that the straps kinda hurt.
 One afternoon, we made edible bird's nests for a yummy snack.
We tried out Sky Zone for the first time and both of the kids were fans. I thought that Lucy might be too little to really have fun, but she did great and only tired out at the end of our time there.
Ben loved jumping on the squares the best. He did lots of tricks, but all my pictures turned out pretty blurry.
He also liked the basketball hoops.
 After Sky Zone, we went to the mall and had Chick-fil-a and rode the carousel.
 On Friday, we met the Yoder's at Crazy Pinz for some bowling.
 I love these ramps for little kids!
 
Curt took Ben to Home Depot on Saturday morning for the kid's workshop. He was excited to show me the planter he made. 
It took a while, but these two finally let me take a picture before we headed to church.
When Lucy is wearing a dress, she walks around lifting up the sides like this...it cracks me up! :)

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
