Oh, How I Love March!

I love March. 

And not just because it is my birthday month.

I love that we see kites at least once a week at the park.

I love that the weather is getting warmer.

I LOVE seeing everything grow...like our trees in the front yard. 

I love opening Big Sis' window every morning to see more green leaves on the branches.

And the wild flowers growing on the side of the road...everywhere. 

But most of all I love seeing my sweet family experiencing new wonders all the time.

The day before my birthday my cousin came to see us while on her music tour! We were so excited to see her...it had been more than 6 years.

This girlie loves to dress up and spin!

And we cut Big Sis' hair!

Big Sis and Handsome went to their first Daddy-Daughter Dance at our church last weekend. Big Sis was so excited. She couldn't decide what to wear (for reals people, we went back and forth between 3 different dresses and 2 different skirts! I finally had to remind her she just needed to get something on so she could GO!)

Baby Beluga and I worked on the cylinders.

Then Big Sis and Handsome got home, way past bedtime and super happy. Big Sis got to take home a balloon, tried a root beer float, played with hula hoops and most importantly, got to dance/jump/run in circles for more than 2 hours!

 

 

And these days we are into hopscotch. We made about 5 different ones on our driveway this weekend.

My St. Patrick's Day Birthday

I love having a birthday on St. Patrick's Day.

I love my family even more, because they are the ones who make it so special.

This is what I woke up to this morning.

 

 

My very own rainbow and pot o' gold! 

Best birthday surprise EVER!

Good morning Baby Beluga! 

This is Little Sis' new blog nickname...inspired by the adorable noises she makes.

Handsome made me bacon for breakfast. I love bacon. I don't buy it very often. Did you know, I used to count the bacon as a kid, to make sure everyone got a fair share. I know...a little weird, but that's what you do when you love bacon. (P.S. I don't count it anymore.)

All ready for church, decked out in green shamrock skirts.

Big Sis picked out her own hair clips today. 

A pink flower, pink bow, and 2 purple bows.

Handsome and Aunt M collaborated on the rainbow and these delicious cupcakes. Chocolate with Andes mint chips mixed in. Frosted with chocolate frosting, topped with a mint oreo, and drizzled with melted Andes mint chips. YUM!

And we ended the night in green pjs.
