Dillon's 4th Birthday!

March 6 was Dillon's 4th Birthday! 4 years!!! Can't believe it! He's getting smarter, bigger and more mature every day! We love you Pickle James!
Acting silly!
 Being a scary monster!!
Dillon's birthday was also Wacky Wednesday at kindergarten to help celebrate Dr. Suess's birthday! Lily and I picked out the most wacky outfit we could put together...
 Dillon's birthday party with the family was postponed a week. The entire family caught the stomach flu so we moved his party from March 3 to March 10. So, on Dillon's actual birthday, which was a Wednesday, we let him open a few of his gifts plus the package from Mimi & Grandpa.
 Opening a few gifts...






 I took a video of him opening his gift from Mimi & Grandpa but this blogger website isn't allowing me to upload videos right now :(

Disney On Ice

On Monday, Lily was off school, and I was off work for MLK day. Anson took a vacation day and we took the kids to see Disney on Ice at the Q. We had a great time!

The kids wore their Mickey / Minnie attire to the show. We stopped and ate lunch at Melt on the way up to the 1:00 show. We were worried about going because Lily was sick all weekend and the weather was supposed to be bad, but everything worked out okay.
We had good, reasonable seats. Anson has a friend who works at the Q and sent us a discount coupon to use. Lacy was free and sat on our laps.
Of course the kids had to get souvenirs. Lily and Lacy got light up, princess toys and Dillon got a Donald stuffed animal (he's really into stuffed animals right now and he has a zillion!).
Minnie Mouse! Lacy loved seeing Minnie and kept asking me where she went when she left the ice. I had to keep reassuring her that Minnie would come back out. Too cute.
Little Mermaid!
I tried to capture the kids' reactions to the show. This one cracks me up!
Brave!
Beauty & the Beast!
Had to capture Dillon eating this big hunk of cauliflower! Too funny!

Lacy Lyn's 2nd Birthday Party

We had Lacy's birthday party on Sunday with Nana, Papa, Uncle Jamie, Great Grandma, Chet, Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Heather.

We got Lacy a new big wheel bike for us too! We'll keep this one at home. 
It says ages 2-5 but she can't reach the pedals :( Papa will have to fix that!
Lacy climbed up there with her new Minnie Mouse blanket and almost fell asleep!
Cake time!
