Bicycle, Bicycle, You are My Bicycle

We've had some very nice days this past week so the kids have enjoyed some time at the park. Camden posed on his favorite slide at the South County Ballfields and Shelby wanted to be everywhere her brother was...she can almost get her leg up high enough to climb to the slide herself!

Here's a game of Peekaboo at Jornada Park.

Camden enjoyed some salsa with his chicken this week...can you tell he poured it out himself?

We finally got some hair bands to get Shelby's bangs out of her face. Pretty cute...and she actually leaves her little ponytail alone. She got lots of compliments today at church (it didn't hurt that she waved and smiled at every man who passed by).

But, the big thing this weekend was Camden's new bicycle. We finally got out and bought one for him - he picked it out all by himself and was so excited to ride it that we had to stop at a park on the way home (hence the plastic sticking out of the front of his helmet that we couldn't take off without scissors). With all the practice he's had riding his tricycle the last few years, he had no trouble at all maneuvering his new bike. I also gave Shelby a ride down the slide, which she loves.

Did You Ever See a Dream Walking?

Trying to Never Catch Up

Last weekend we headed to Grandview to celebrate Camden's birthday. On the way, we stopped at the Darigold Cheese Factory in Sunnyside and enjoyed some ice cream. Some of us enjoyed the ice cream more than others...
Here's Camden "race track cake". He picked it out from a book of cakes and still calls the cars on it is "race track cake cars". He kept telling me he wanted a ramp on it so I added one on. When he saw it he said "no no no...not there..." *sigh* Then, he wouldn't EAT the cake with everyone else. After the party he decided he'd have a piece, but only from the green part. Whatever...it's his cake, after all.


He picked out party hats. You can tell he really loved wearing his. Shelby's hat transformed her into a very serious little girl.

The kids played a game called Elefun. Maggie had different ideas for what to do with the butterfly nets.

Here's the evidence that he actually ate a piece of his own cake.

On Sunday, Shelby wore the Easter dress Grandma Cochran sewed for her. Super cute.

Aren't Grandpa Cochran's daffodils beautiful?
On Camden's actual birthday, we visited the zoo and took along my good, good friend Amy. We had SO MUCH FUN!!!

Today, Matt took the kids to play at the Supermall. They had a great time and he even got some video of Shelby walking. We have another walking video, but I need Matt's help to figure out where it is... anyway, for now you can see her high step her way and then scooch through a tunnel.
