First Lost Tooth

Emmi lost her first tooth.  It had been super wiggly and sure enough out it came.  She was super brave as she kept saying she wanted her Daddy to just pull it out, I stay away as wiggly teeth to me are gross. :)  sure enough she pulled it out one night went I was not home of course.  The tooth fairy left her a note with a few dollars that told her to go to Build-A-Bear to put her tooth it in since this would be the one time she gets to keep her tooth. Here she is after it happened, sorry pic from phone.

Then we have had a fantastic time in our new neighbor hood.  There is a girl down the street that Emmi has made friends with.  They play as often as they can.  Then we have had other imprompt gatherings at neighbors houses or other times just playing.  I cant say enough at how happy we are to have moved to a great neighbor hood.  It is also amazing to have the people in the neighborhood who are empty nesters stopping to say how it is so nice to see the kids playing again.  Here are some pictures that capture different times we have had.
Dance party with the Perry's and Carson's.

 Marli fell asleep while playing with her tablet since it is getting harder and harder to get them to bed by 7:30.

 Biking in the street.

 Here are all the girls in the hood biking, there are 3 5 year olds, 1 3 year old, 1 8 year old and 1 10 I think.

Easter Festivities

Saturday we had an egg hunt in our neighborhood.  They had pony rides, animals to pet and gerbils that Moo just loved to pick up.  Think she is going to be a vet with the way she always gravitates towards animals.

Then we hosted Easter Dinner with 16 close friends and family.  Everyone seemed to have a blast.  Arleigh took a ton of pictures to capture the day.  Here she is...

 Here are the photos...

 The family.

 Memere and the guys.

 Some of the many desserts.

 And of course we had an egg hunt.  Here is the aftermath.

Settling in...

Well we are experiencing some drama on our old house so the bank is now requesting a second appraisal.  The closing got pushed another week so we still own 2 homes.  The kids have had great times entertaining their friends in our new house.  The playroom is upstairs so they go up there and we dont hear from them for quite some time.  Here is Marli with her buddies.

We finally have had some down time to let them just play outside.  The kids got on their bikes and just rode on down the street towards the cul-de-sac.  Moo also wanted in on the action so rode a bike pedaling for the first time.  So it was a big day for both girls since E was hit or miss before riding her bike.  She even crashed and got back on after getting a bandaid.

 Then the cousins were over since there was no school so Eggs were colored by all.

Slowly we are settling in and getting boxes cleared out.  We still are keeping with our tradition of hosting Easter.  Egg hunt in the neighborhood tomorrow and then clearing out boxes.  

Happy Easter.

Hold on tight time is flying....

Been living life and having fun when we can while anxiously awaiting the house stuff.  Here we are the week of closing of the new house.  But that isnt all that has been going on at our house.  As many of you know we are really into Crossfit. Well right now is the Open competition which has 120000 people worldwide competing.  They announce a workout each week that you do and then get ranked.  The first one was announced just north of us so we went.  So cool to be there for the action.

 Of course we had another kid down with the sickness. A stomach bug passed through and hit poor Marli.

 We also had family fun night at school where the kids danced the night away.  Cooled down after with a snowcone.

 Marli finally rebounded enough to attend a princess party with her friends.

 Emmi went to the Hockey game during the party where they got some tattoos.

 Then spring has sprung around here so outside time has been great.  Although pollen season is just starting to ramp up so hoping we can stay strong through it.

Next time I post it will mostlikely be from the new house.  Could have some good adventures while moving as we do that ourselves with the help of Memere & Grandpy Harley along with other friends, and family.

More celebrations

A 3 year old can never celebrate too much.  On Moo's actual birthday we had more cake while Emmi photographed the day.

At the doctors she weighted in at 29.8 pounds and was 35 inches tall.  She grew 2 inches from last year so we definitely were excited.

On home news our house is under contract slated to close March 28th.  That will be perfect timing as we will  close on our new house on the 15th.  Anyone want to help move us????  Will pay in beer and BBQ.

It's my party...

Marli had her birthday at a bounce house and arcade place.  She had so much fun running around with all her friends.  Here are some pictures of the day.

Fire Fire

After Moo's party, Memere and I noticed that a local house that was owned by the city was having a controlled burn by the fire department just up the street with us.  So we headed back grabbed the girls and watched for a while.  Then near the end the firefighters invited the kids back to put out the fire.  They were able to fire the hose at the detached garage.  Emmi took part but Moo did not want in.  And of course I got in the action too.  Thinking maybe I need to make a career change.
