Finally spring time fun..

After what seems like a very long cloudy and rainy winter and spring the kids finally got to play out side. They are at their happiest rolling around on the grass and riding bikes. 

Brooklyn's first time riding her scooter she got for Christmas. She caught on right away.

Just imagine a little voice saying.."look at me"

Boo follows EVERYTHING Londyn does. 

And now for the rolling....We just love spring time!

Spring Break...Without the Spring..

Londyn's first spring break turned out to be cold and snowy most of the time. Matt and I we only able to take a couple of days off but we tried to make the most of those days. The first day we went to the movies. It's always fun to relax and eat popcorn. The second day turned out to be a little more exciting. We started off with Lunch at the "fire place" as Londyn likes to call it. Then went to the fun center for bowling, mini golf and arcade games. 

Lunch was sure good but I don't know how our forks reached the plate with eyes like this!

Heading into the mini golf center...

Here we are trying to row away from all the sea creatures after us...Judging by our smiles they must not have been that scary!

Until now....YIKES!

The King and Queen at their Lair.

The Queen in her almighty chair.

Anyone out there?? I am stranded.

Nice moves!

Flying off with the unicorns, sounds like a fun time!

Matt's twin brother??? :) Love you, Matt!

They are sacrificing their balls for the greater good!

And now for the bowling..

Some people don't look so good bowling..

Yeah that's right...Mommy got beat by Londyn!

It seems anytime we go to an arcade room we have to play this game. This time it proved to be worth it. Both Matt and I hit the highest tickets in our case!

It was such a great chance to spend some time with Londyn and just enjoy ourselves. I will forever cherish these moments with my children. We look forward to having many more spring breaks with both girls. We love you both so much! 

Before and After...

One of the joys of having girls is the chance to try new and fun thing with their hair. Today was school picture day so I decided to do Londyn's hair in a bunch of small braids, 10 in all, to give her hair the "wavy" look. Here is the before and after...

After...

And of course she had to pose...What a cutie!

Saturday night fun...

Most Saturday nights in the Lane house are reserved to spend time with the Sanchez family (the white mexican's). These night are cherished for us. We always sit down and have a good dinner, games, lots of chatting and more laughing than we can handle sometimes. We are truly thankful for the friends we have gained over the last several years and hope for many many more years of fun. We couldn't ask for better friends. We just love you Sanchez Fam! For whatever reason, and I hope those reasons never go away, Londyn and Abbie decide to clean Londyn's room quite often. (BTW...Sorry Abbie) This time they decided to make it into a game and they gave us "money" to get into the "ride" and upon arrival we got a welcome card. Those two girls can really keep busy! 

Londyn and Abbie's welcome cards to every visitor to Londyn's newly cleaned room. These girls are too funny!

Here is a close up of the welcome card and the "money" that it took to enter such a special room. 

Such cute girls! Londyn just loves having Abbie over to play.

Well Matt try not to look like you are having fun with the funnest family we know!  

Awe...Look at all his DOLLA's...GANGSTA! 

A little something funny...

One of the greatest joys of motherhood is listening to your children's vocabulary grow. Although we have to take the good with the bad for the most part at the age of two it is usually good. On the way to school, Brooklyn, out of the blue, told me "Mom, I no big on apples, I don't like them." The funny part is she wasn't eating an apple nor had she had one in the recent past. Kids seem to pick up everything we say, so I'd better watch my mouth. 

Boo, you are such a darling! We love you so much!

Another moment of pride...

Today Londyn received an aware for being a great friend. Apparently there were a number of girls being exceptionally mean in class and Londyn told them it wasn't nice to talk that way and decided not to join in. So the teacher gave Londyn a "Good Friend Award". What courage that must have taken! I am so proud of Londyn for standing up for what is right, she truly is an amazing child! We just love you so!

Londyn and her good friend award

So Proud...

As a school fundraiser to get another playground, the school decided to have a spelling bee contest. Every child was suppose to get donations for every word spelled right. This is the first spelling test Londyn had ever had. She worked so hard to learn the words and got 24 out of 25 right. We are so proud of all the hard work Londyn did to get these words right. She even told me that after the test she realized she spelled hand wrong. She though they said han. 

Londyn and her test! You did awesome!

Here are the words. Londyn you are so smart! What great handwriting you have too!
