Light Rail

Remember the light rail? It is perfect for athletic events in Tempe, no parking, but today Grant took the light rail and his bike to work today. It was only 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Ugh. I am going to miss him tonight when he comes home late.

Camp Out

This weekend is the Father & Son's Camping Trip for Ethan and Grant. I protested, but Herston will be staying home this year.

It was so fun to help pack for Ethan. He has a sleeping bag and his clothes inside the backpack as well as the emergency water shoes always required on the outside.

It really makes me want to go on a minimalist backpacking adventure.

Look a Likes

These are pictures of me at my kids current age. It is amazing how much I DO look like Herston, right down to the epicanthic folds.

I always thought I looked more like Raea, but I think my opinion is going to change. Now that Larissa has hair, I look like her, too!

P.S. Why does Ethan look so much older at 4?

What is going on?

Today Larissa was wearing Herston's hand-me-downs.

Birthday on the Farm

I enjoyed the day doing regular mom stuff, like doctor's appointments, baseball practice, dance recital, and a farm visit! Ethan's school went to the dairy farm, so you know I enjoyed some fresh ice cream. I had ice cream from a Holstein while Larissa's ice cream was from a Jersey cow. The Holstein was much better! (Picture courtesy of Shannon-thanks.)

Do you notice my new necklace with the four birthstones?

Easter

The Easter Bunny was so smart for bringing these sunglasses. The kids love them and rarely take them off.

How did the Easter Bunny know that I love my kids in matching shirts? (Please note on laps.)

How to block search engines

If you use blogger, and you want to prevent people from googling you, I recommend these instructions.

Today's instructions have been brought to you by CrazyMama and her own personal computer man, Hubster. Thanks Team!

On Accident

I have always rejoiced in the minimal sibling rivalry my kids subject me to, but it has been getting a little heated at my house lately.

Raea: MOM!!!!!!!
What?
Raea: Ethan scratched my face. Then he flew his hat at me. Then he started acting like a baby.
Ethan: It was all on accident.

Flat Stanley

Flat Stanley is everywhere lately!

We took him to the Natural History Museum, the library, the zoo, and the parking lot of the baseball stadium.

Thanks to our cousin Chase for passing on the fun.

Herston

Grandma Marci is coming to town. We are all excited!
