Fourth Birthday Weekend!

Wow what a great birthday this year!  Grandma arrived Wednesday, so we got to spend lots of time together that night, Thursday, and the whole day Friday!  We had such a great time.

Then Saturday morning, Aunty Lori, Sarah, & Uncle Chris flew in!  We had so much fun hanging out!  Kristopher, Ella, & Charlotte came over to visit and play.  We roasted marshmallows out back, watched a movie, fun times!  Then Sunday we had a nice breakfast (Grandma's special Eggs Benedict, but us kids had english muffins!) and played all day long!  We rode bikes, colored with sidewalk chalk.  Had a blast!

To the Top of the Mountain!

Today Grandma & Grandpa took us to the top of Mount Diablo!

We had such a great time!  We met a friendly squirrel, explored the ranger's station, learned about the wildlife on the mountain, and even "climbed" it!  (Well, a model of it!)

Pictures of School...

 Mommy took the camera to school today to catch a few pictures...first, Penny and her classmates eating snack at their table:

Here is my classroom:

We just finished a section on bugs at school, here is a wall of bugs we've made!

Happy 4th Birthday Big Sister!!

This weekend we started a full week of celebrating Big Sister's fourth birthday!  Friday night Grandpa arrived!  Then Saturday morning, Aunt Nancy & Uncle Barry arrived.  Aunt Nancy helped decorate the house and driveway!



Then it was time to start getting ready!




Then it was time to head to the park for the party!  Mommy & Aunty Ginny decorated the pavilion, there were lots of yummy snacks, all the girls got the chance to get princess hair, and the boys got to decorate swords and shields!



Then it was time to get the dragon that had been hanging around!



And cake time...



Then the afterparty...

Happy Mother's Day!

Kristopher, Ella, and Charlotte came over for a picnic at our park.  Here we all are on the teeter-totter. 

Charlotte and I rode in style back and forth to the Park.  Kristopher and Amelia rode bikes, and Ella rode a scooter.

Here are some of the yummies that we bought for the picnic.  We wanted to give Mommy a break:)

Baking With The Girls...

Mommy & I baked Margarita Cupcakes for her friends at work for Cinco de Mayo!  

But the ones that were for Penny & I were just lime cupcakes, Mommy said.  Something about leaving out an ingredient?

Daddy and us!

This weekend, mommy and her friends went out for a girls night out, while Penny, myself, and Daddy had a nice night together.  But before that, we gardened with Mommy in the yard.  Here we are planting veggies and flowers!

Brett and his dad came over when Mommy and Brett's mommy went out to dinner.  Penny and Brett love hanging out together.

I love my sister sooooo much!  I'm even teaching her how to play our piano!

Tigger and Cody love Penny too!  Or maybe they love eating all of her food off of her clothes.

Happy Birthday Logan!

We had a great time at Logan's birthday party!  He turned 4!

I especially had fun trying on everyone's shoes!

Afterwards, we went back to our house and hung out with our dads while our moms went to see a movie!  Then Marie, Olivier, & Abby spent the night.  What a fun weekend!

Crazy Outfit Day:)

Daddy helped pick out my clothes for Crazy Outfit Day at school!
