Rock Band Macie

Macie is really into this concert/rockband phase. It is quite hilarious. We get to have a concert at least 4 times a week and each time it is something new. Sometimes she uses the instruments, other times the guitar, and this time it was the pots and pans. Cool shades kids!! Everytime we get in the car Addie asks for her "cool" aka....sunglasses!

Sorry this video is a little long. But there is a very funny part in it. At about 1:25-1:30 seconds listen really carefully and leave a comment letting us know what you hear!! We were laughing REALLY hard and even tried to get her to repeat it, but she wouldn't, so listen up!!

weekly happenings

Here are a few pictures of the things that we have been up to the past week. Our neighbor had a broken rocking chair and didn't know how to fix it, so she asked if Geoff could fix it and then said that if he could we could just keep it. (I was soooo excited when she asked me because we have only 1 rocking chair and 2 little girls who ALWAYS want to sit in it....so this was GREAT!!) Anyways, it was a way easy fix and so now we have 2 rocking chairs and 2 happy little girls!! Thanks Marypat!!!

Here are the girls in the rocking chairs.

They look happy....no?

We have really been enjoying the spring weather and decided to take a walk today after church. Macie and Addie were so excited that they decided to take their baby strollers out with us.

So cute!

Addie is soooo in love with cheese. In particular, shredded cheese. Anytime she sees this in the fridge she starts yelling cheese and does not stop until you give her some. You can not leave it out on the table or anything, because she will want it and it results in the BIGGEST mess ever. So, today I had the cheese out for dinner and Addie saw it. Well, I was busy making dinner and I needed her to stay busy for a little bit, so...I just gave her the whole bag (there wasn't very much left). Here are the results:

Notice the mess all over the counter, clothes, and face

At least it is just cheese. I guess that it could be worse!

Macie is in a dance class and is constantly dancing and showing us her newest moves. Here she is posing with one of her favs.

Full

Macie:  "Mom, my stomach is all full, there is no more room."
Me: "Oh yeah? Well you had better finish your corn or you will not get a snack."
Macie: "ok, my stomach is not all full, there are still some seats left in the front."

Kids are the best. What will she say next!?

Sledding

We went sledding for the first time as a family the other day. It was sooooo fun. The girls loved it. Macie would go down and then run back up the hill and go again. She would never go by herself though. She was to scared. Addie went down a few times with Geoff and everytime she got to the bottom she would say "wo, wooo, wo" It was pretty stinkin' funny and cute. We couldn't tell if she liked it though.

Here is Macie pullng Addie. She was trying to send Addie down the hill all by herself.

Here is Trent, Cole, Geoff, and Macie all truckin' it up the hill

Snow Day

Last Friday Macie's school was cancelled due to snow. She was really upset because they were going to be having a party in class that day. So... I told her that we could have our own party at home. We made some cupcakes, blew up some balloons and called the neighbors. It was a fun party!!

Addie and Charlie decorating and eating their cupcakes.  (Would you ever guess that these 2 were born only 2 days apart)

Tony and Macie. These 2 think that they are soooo silly together!! It is so nice having such great neighbors with kids the same age as Macie and Addie. It has made living in Cleveland a blast!

Later that night, Macie decided that she wanted to be "Hannah Batana", so she dressed like this:

Notice the necklace around her arms. (Nice Geoff)

And Geoff, being the great dad that he is, looked up a Hannah Batana song and music video for Macie to watch. (Let's just say that it didn't last to long because it is just a little bit to much for us to handle.) She was still happy and just adores Hannah. (I should also say, that we have NO idea how she even knows about Hannah Montana. We don't have cable or anything that she would ever be able to see her on, so we have no idea where this infatuation came from, but it is kind of cute)

Toy room fun

The other day we were all in the toy room playing. Macie decided that she wanted to take a picture of me. I was rocking out to "Hanna Batana".

Macie was playing instruments and singing.

Addie was dancing.

and Geoff was playing Dr. (notice the stethescope around his neck)

Then we decided to play with the camera's self timer. We ended up getting this cute picture as a result.

Then Macie decided that she wanted to join

And then Addie decided that she wanted to join in the fun as well. She brought a toy with her, which is why the girls are not looking.

Then the girls started fighting over said toy and Geoff was like "are you kidding me??"

Then Geoff said some witty remark to me and I laughed and he still looked annoyed!

and that was our toy room experience!

Kalihari Resort

So this week is Geoff's spring break. We didn't have any plans, but the our Friends (the Welch's) found a great deal at a water park resort called Kalihari and we were off. We had a blast!!! There was plenty to do for both kids and adults! So, we all got a turn in and went on some of the best waterslides ever!!

Here are a few pics of our adventure.

Macie insisted that I take her picture inside this Giraffe. She thought that it was sooo cool.

                                    

Here are the kids watching a movie after dinner.

All in all we had a great time!! The kids were great, the adults had fun and we probably would have stayed another day if we could!! It was money well spent!!!
