March so far...

Zane finished his winter basketball season the beginning of March.  He improved so much each and every game.  He got so much better by the end of the season.  He was making shots, dribbling more confidently, and rebounding!  It was so fun getting to watch him and also coach him.  I was proud of him and his team. 

Before the last game, Smith got to warm up with the big kids.

Then, he got benched the rest of the game...








After the game, Smith had to get a few more shots in. He got some help from Uncle Ben.


Then, we celebrated with family after the game at Red Robin.  Including our family, there were 15 of us there to support Zane and eat dinner together. :)  I love my family so much and love how they show support.

This silly girl.
She got some new make up that she wanted to try on everyone...
This guy's hair after his naps is hilarious.
This cute little face...


Emmy likes these blocks.  She'll work for a big part of a day to make different structures.  She has all different ideas of patterns and shapes, etc. She gets sooooo frustrated when it falls or gets knocked down but then she almost always tries again.
Zaney Boy
I spend almost every afternoon with just Emmy.  We get one on one time when Zane's at school and Smith and Molly are napping.  I always try to do at least one fun thing with her and then the rest of the time, we both do something restful (or productive).

This day, she set up an entire store. She works for hours gathering, organizing, and labeling.  She wanted to get it all ready so Zane could shop when he got home from school.




She had filled her wallet with old credit cards and money for Zane to spend.
Playing in the rain...




Emmy had her dance recital a few weeks ago.  What a cutie pie. She did 3 dances and did so well.  She followed her teacher and was right on task.

The funniest things though, is that one the way home she said, "I don't know if I ever want to do dance again.  It was so much work, and I felt way too nervous with butterflies in my stomach."  Haha.












Grandma came to watch

Grandma Shirley and Pappy also came, they had just driven home from Cedaredge but still made it. Here's our cheering section. Molly and Smith and Zane did so well watching.

Playing in the backyard...
Sometimes we have grumpy moments

Zane looks so grown up...

Zane and Emmy have worked so hard building a new Lego set they bought.
We went to a story time at a fun book store with friends and then lunch afterwards.
Kids table!
Aunt Becca and Uncle Chris got Zane this superhero cape when he was 2 or 3.  And as each kid got a little older, I ordered matching ones.  I love them.  And I love when they play in them.

Cup Stacker!!!
She tried to make a tower as big as herself and she was so proud of herself. Then, she tried the rest of the afternoon to make it a second time and never could get it again.  It doesn't help when you have two toddlers nearby almost knocking it down the whole time.

I love her expressions.  Shocked that it stayed up.



This guy has been wearing some kind of jersey day AND night for weeks now.  He even asks for a bib at meals so his jersey doesn't get dirty and when he's done eating he'll look down and yell out "It's still clean!!"

Then she actually went to get Smith and told him he could knock it down.  What a gift!
Grandma got Emmy and Molly matching PJs.  Emmy wanted to get into them right away.  She also wanted their hair and socks to match. :)



Smith got new pajamas too!




When Emmy's at school, Smith has to find someone to play superheroes with.  Molly and Smith are too cute together. Superman and Supergirl ran around the house for a long time "saving" different stuffed animals.



At church, we have a character who is a moose named Dano.  Smith is terrified of him.  So every time we walk into church he immediately asks if Dano is there and we have to look.  This day, he was around the corner, so while they ate their bagels, Zane and Emmy were protecting him. LOL.
Blurry, but I love this hug picture.
Practicing at home

Zane was pushing Molly this day for a long time - she was cracking up and Zane was having fun too.


Brrr!  A cold walk from Costco to the car...
