Easter Celebration at School

Kyndal had another Easter celebration at school yesterday. We decided to make Easter Bunny Cupcakes for the kiddos. Kyndal helped me make these.




I came to see her Easter Egg Hunt at school. The class made their own buckets out of milk cartons and I think they are adorable!







At the end of the day the kids participated in a balloon launch to celebrate our resurrected Christ. Kyndal is the one in the middle with the pink balloon (of course). They said their Bible Verse "Jesus is Alive" as they released their balloon. I can't tell you enough what a great job the school did at explaining what Easter is about. Kyndal told me many details about what she learned at chapel that day.... she even told me about the disciples and that is certainly not a word I knew at 3.

Spring Break

Last week Kyndal was on Spring Break.... we had a few nice warm days and a few rainy cold days but we still mananged to have several activities. It was nice to spend a whole week with her!
We made a trip to the zoo on a nicer day. She was excited to see the Lorakeets again even though she was scared of them last time. She did great until one landed on her head. Wish I had a picture of me with one on my head trying to get the one on Kyndal's head off, LOL!








We met some friends at the bounce place, look how excited she was that her friends were coming.

We also went to Chick-fil-a after the bounce place and got to have a behind the scenes look! We love our Chick-fil-a.

Saturday we went on her first egg hunt of the season, the Town Of Smyrna. It was CRAZY there and Kyndal was a little overwhelmed. She managed to get quite a bit of candy, but had more enjoyment of hunting pine cones so she can make a "Pine Cone Craft". This girl is all into her crafts. She also got to visit the firetruck while we were there.




Sunday we were off to church and I tried to get a picture of her in her new outfit, made just for her. It was a lot colder on Sunday and she really wouldn't stand for a pic though :(

A great day for golf

Today has been a gorgeous day!!! We spent a lot of time outside this morning and Kyndal thought it was a good day for golf.

She is wearing her golf gloves (aka winter mittens), LOL!

She sometimes approaches the game a little more like Happy Gillmore, in fact she likes to call it hockey.

Happy St. Patricks Day

We wore our green, cooked Irish Pie for dinner, and even had Shamrock doughnuts for dessert.

Here is a few pics of Kyndal, she got the first shirt dirty so she found one that had green dots. She was all about the green!

February Zoo Trip

I plan on doing a catch up post soon, but didn't want to get any further behind.
In February we had a very rare beautiful Saturday and weather was good enough to be ourside. We had extra zoo passes so we invited our small group. It was fun... we so love the zoo and this will be the first of many trips this year.

Our small group Mama's and kiddos minus a few kiddos.








This little owl was a nice addition to our normal exhibits; he is not normally on exhibit... they brought him out for this day.

Growing up

So it has been a long while since my last post! We have had Summer vacation and tons of fall and halloween festivities since my last post. Once I get out of this busy season I will be blogging about all of that, but for now I am jumping ahead for a post. Last week I was cleaning out the car and Kyndal was drawing on the driveway with sidewalk chalk all by herself. She called me over and said look Mommy, I drew a person and a cup. Sure enough I could actually make out a person with a body, legs, arms, a head, and eyes....and the cup looked like a cup. So I got a picture of Kyndal's first drawing. Not pictured but also drawn was a rainbow, but drawing rainbows is not new for us.

Daddy’s b-day cake

Well Daddy’s birthday isn’t until the 21st, but I made a cake for him that we could share with our small group last night. I was ready for a new cake challenge and I wanted to do something cute for him.  Since we are going to the beach next week, I decided to make him a beach cake.  I had to do this cake quickly since we had such a busy day yesterday.  I made this quicker than any other cake!  I really wish I had time to make a palm tree and surfboard.  Here it is… his beach cake…

Water and waves with a dolphin

Beach complete with sandcastle, sand dollar, towel, drink and umbrella.  I borrowed Strawberry shortcake’s umbrella :)
