Tae Kwon Do

 Ever since his tae kwon do birthday party last year Carter has been asking to take lessons. With the 2 moves and Evelyn being born I've been putting it off.  When the holidays were over I finally looked into it and we did some trial lessons at a couple of places. 

 He's taking lessons with Master Soo Kim and he's really enjoying it.

Since I have Audrey and Evelyn along with me at his lessons I have yet to catch some pictures of him in the studio.  When I do I'll post some.

birthdays

 I went up to Sheboygan the weekend of my mom's birthday.  The up side was that I got to spend my mom's birthday with her and take her out to eat.  The down side was that we spent the weekend packing up Grandma's house.  There was a ton to do and I am glad I could help out.  It was hard driving away since it was probably the last time I would ever be back to that house.  So many great memories were made in that house.

 Audrey also got birthday presents that weekend.  Tita Angela and Uncle Brett let her open her presents early since we are going to be in Disney on her birthday.  She got a new princess crown, princess roller blades and clothes.  She tried roller blading all over the house.  It will be fun to take her outside and practice when the weather gets nice.

 Evelyn is already a little character and loves to make all sorts of faces.  Here's one of them

Our mini miss is already into babies.  She likes playing with her baby Ariel and bottle.

Double boarded

 The first weekend in March Chuck traveled to PA to take his pediatric surgery oral boards.  This is the last step for Chuck in becoming a double boarded surgeon (general surgery and pediatric surgery).  Of course he passed and we are so proud of all his hard work.  The kids picked out a Captain America ice cream cake to celebrate.

 In kiddo news...Evelyn is loving the ducky tub.  I don't know what it is about the ducky tub but all 3 loved this thing.  We had bought Evelyn a bath chair so she wouldn't take up so much room in the tub but she hates it.

She is on the move too much to stay put in the bouncy chair anymore.  She tries to escape if I put her in it.

School Carnival

 The first weekend in March Carter's school had their carnival.  There were all sorts of raffles and games.  Audrey's favorite thing was the face painting.

 She didn't want to take a bath that night because she wanted to keep the paint on.

 The balloon man was there and this time Carter got a sword and belt

 He also enjoyed playing all the games and winning all the cheesey prizes

Both Carter and Audrey spent most of the night running and racing each other through the bouncy house obstacle course.

A few Evey and Sasha pics

Evey loves her exersaucer and I caught Sasha supervising her

 

 Evelyn is our smiley little girl.  I love that she's such a happy baby.

 Sasha was running and trying to catch the snow that went flying at the same time.  This girl was made for snow and it's so much fun to watch her play in it.

6 month sneak peak

 Here are Evelyn's sneak peak photos from her 6 month photo shoot with Amanda E. Photography.  We had them taken the weekend after she turned 6 months.

 

For the slideshow of the rest of the photos you can click here  It will be up for about a month.  Enjoy!

SNOW!!!

 I'm still a month behind on the blog so 1 month ago we finally got enough snow for the kids to play in.  They have been trying to be patient and kept asking when we would get snow.  After all, we did tell them we were moving where we would get some.  They were beyond thrilled to get out and play.  We have enough of a hill on the side of our house that the kids can sled on too.  You can see in this picture that our furry baby was also happy to play in the snow.

 Chuck raced Carter down the hill

 Audrey wanted to go down the hill with Chuck

 Then she was ready to go down by herself and thought it was funny to race Carter

 They had so much fun!  The fence was put to the test a couple of times too.  You can really get going down the hill and it was the fence that put a stop to them a couple of times.

They didn't want to come in but it started to get dark.  It was fun watching them have a blast playing in the snow.
