Penelope Skye is already 3 months? Cry!!!! Such an angel. Takes a big long nap during the day if she can get settled down. Is hauled around in a car seat back and forth to Beck and Paisley's school and swings in her swing while I make 3 meals and snacks a day and then just smiles and loves me even if I am being pulled in a million directions and she waits her turn unless she's hungry and then its NOW!!! I don't blame her. Little angel that she is. Growing like a weed, or um, a very delicate beautiful red rose... ;)

"The Beck Twins" all grown up at the age of 29.

The Conley family (minus Chad) Jakobi, my twin sister and her two munchins and bun in the oven came to visit for their Spring Break. They are leaving in the morning and it has gone way too fast! Ugh! Lizi and Paisley are new best friend cousins and Jax and Beck had their fair share of time on the Wii!

All the cousins (minus them there Burley cousins whom we missed) got together for some crazy tie dying fun and these are their masterpeices.

Back: Jax 4 yrs, Beck 6 years, then front: Lizi 2 yrs (3 on Friday!) Piper 5 yrs (6 in 28 days!) Hanna 10 (11 on Monday!) holding Penelope 3 months, ALizah 8 yrs and Paisley 3 years (4 on Tuesday!)

and my little tie dye munchkins...

The Hunger Games. Better than Twilight. Now don't get me wrong I really enjoyed the Twilight books as well as Harry Potter. Great parts of my life reading those books and watching the movies at midnight showings. But the Hunger Games books were just something different. Seriously. Transported me into a different world. I love discussing it with friends and other fellow Hunger Games lovers. While at the midnight showing of Twilights Breaking Dawn part 1 I was discussing the Hunger Games with friends that hadn't yet read them yet, and a preview for the Hunger Games came on and I turned around when it was over and their jaws were wide open. My set of the books was then passed around to about 30 people and I had a group of people to go to the midnight showing with on the 22nd! And it was Alicias (Taylor) birthday! I whispered her name around and when the whole theatre sang Happy birthday Alicia, she was so surprised that everyone knew her name! It was a great movie seen with great people and friends! Jakobi even drive down early for her Spring break to watch it with us! Penelope actually slept thru the whole thing. Her longest stretch of sleep since being born. She knew how
into and excited I was for the movie. :) Lots of gals from church and also from AIM gymnastics who all I count as good friends were in our midnight showing group. Lots of fun and a great movie!

This last weekend we were able to go to the cabin with the Raymond family and the Wiseman family, fun neighbors of ours. We celebrated St Patty's Day with green crackled fingernail polish for all!

Paisley spent plenty of time on the ipad...

And Penelope showed her Green spirit!

We drove up the hill for a bit in search of snow. Right as we pulled up I mentioned the small creek and Stephen said "no one will all in.." not 5 minute later 6 year old Adam Wiseman was sopping wet and freezing...

Card games, puzzle, lots of food, canoe rides that sink (B.J. Rayomd had his two little girls in with him, luckily all with life jackets, and the canoe tipped over! Into the freezing lake!) and even a few lucky ones got a nap...

WE <3 the cabin so much!!!

Beck stands on his head All. The. Time. It's funny because when I started teaching gymnastics years ago I remember being surprised at how many kids and older kids as well that didn't know how to do a headstand. I was always standing on my head as a kid and having headstand contests. And I'm glad that Beck has accomplished this skill early! Thanks to break dancing and gymnastics!
