Kinsey's Preschool's Bike-a-Thon

This Wednesday, Kinsey's preschool hosted their annual fundraiser with a bike-a-thon!  Even though the weather had been really cold recently, it turned out to be a warm, sunny day and the kids had lots of fun! We were especially proud of Kinsey for not letting a pretty big spill stop her; no fuss and no tears, she just got back on the bike and kept going!
 The "Big Fours" class all ready to go at the starting line
 Kinsey decided Rapunzel needed to come with her for moral support :)
 She was a little slow going and was the only one to brake the whole way down the hill which cracked me up!

 It got pretty toasty out there so all the kids got a popsicle after to cool off
 Kinsey's class enjoying their treat 
 
Here are a few short videos of her riding her in the bike-a-thon...

This one cracks me up because she's just peddaling along, singing to herself, as the other kids fly by her! Also, Cohen calls her "GaGa" and everytime he spotted her he yelled for her and tried to dive out of my arms to chase after her! Loves his Sissy!

I tried to get a video of her using her brakes the whole way down the hill and this time she actually let off the brake and picked up some speed! :)

Easter!

Easter weekend was busy and full of fun! Saturday we went to the Pinehurst Easter egg hunt where Kinsey had lots of fun racing for eggs. Then we went to Easter brunch at the Kinard's house!

 Ready to grab eggs
 She found Payton :)
 So excited!!
Then we went to facepainting where her rainbow unfortunately got some hair stuck in it which made it look like she was bleeding from the ear, lovely. Ha! 
 The goodies from the Easter Bunny
 At the Kinard's after eating
 Had to hold Sissy's hand because he wasn't too sure about all the picture commotion
 They're all growing up too fast!
 Hunting for eggs again

Cohen really wanted that one! :)

Mimi and Papa Visit

Mimi and Papa came up for a visit over my birthday weekend and even though it was a quick trip, they packed in lots of fun for Kinsey and Cohen!
 Picnic time!
 Notice Cohen staring Kinsey down because she has the goldfish, ha!

 Dyeing some Easter eggs

 
He's a Papa's boy!

Easter Program at Preschool

Kinsey's school did their Easter program the week before Easter and it was lots of fun! They sang a couple songs, hunted for eggs, and then had some food and treats. Unfortunately it was in the morning so Kyle wasn't able to come and Cohen was so excited about seeing Sissy that he was a wiggly worm and the pictures and videos I got weren't great, sorry!
 Coming into the sanctuary
 Getting ready to sing

 Listening to the Easter story
 Getting ready to hunt for eggs with her class
 So happy!

She had so much fun! We love her little school!

A Little Picnic

We found a great little area for picnics not far from the playparks that had trails and all kinds of fun things to explore. Picnics here and walking on the trails is one of our new favorite things to do here
   
 

A Visit from Grammy and Aunt Maddie

Aunt Maddie wanted to come visit us over her Spring break so she and Grammy hopped on a plane and we all had a great time! Here are a few pictures from their visit
 Loves the slide!
 I love the pictures that show how teeny the kiddos are next to Kyle
 Cheesin' with Aunt Maddie

 Kinsey loves the "magic" swing...she holds on and it goes back and forth along the bar without pushes so she thinks it's magic :)
 Happy happy boy
 A little snack in the sun
 This boy loves to eat!
 She tried to climb the tree then her shoe got stuck and she panicked because she didn't want to put her sock on the ground or it would get dirty ha!
 Driving Aunt Maddie around
 Kinsey's turn
 Just walkin' around with Daddy
 One of those moments where I went to take a cute picture and before I clicked the button he did something silly like put things in his nose :)
 Super curly after bath hair
A little "The Gentlemen Ride" song time...
