Last night I went to a RS activity, and I told Brent there was strawberry shortcake ingredients in the fridge for dessert. When I got home Brent told me how much Mara loved it. She demanded whipped cream be sprayed on each part. She has such a sweet tooth.
So this afternoon when I decided to finish off the rest of the strawberry shortcake, I tried to be sneaky so Mara wouldn't see. There wasn't much left, and I had been so good, I wanted the treat to myself. Well, I managed to sneak out of the kitchen while she was eating her lunch. I sat on the couch out of her view and starting eating as quietly as I could. Not even a minute later, she flies out of her seat and comes racing into the living room with her mouth WIDE open saying "
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" I couldn't help laughing. She got the rest of the dessert, and I lost some more weight!
The ONLY safe place for Mara to eat ice cream! 
The Perfect gift for Evan!
The shirt should read Miss MARAvelous!
Mara's Easter dress. She borrowed the purse. She is so dang cute!
Kenneth caught his 1st fish over Spring break. It was a small sunfish but a BIG first for him. He and Brent are tied now.

Freckles on Evan and the ladybug
Sam loves the Earth !
Picked roots and all.
OOH this one is yellow!
Yes I'm HAPPY!
On the 5th, Kenneth had his Pine Wood derby. He made a super fast car and named it the Weather Car. You can see the different weather symbols at the top. He came in 3rd overall beating more than 20 cars!
Mara really sat on the potty! On the 16th, right after she turned 18 months, she took off during a diaper change and sat on her little potty. She hasn't gone pee pee IN the potty yet, just around the potty, but it's a start.
WE HAD FULL COVERAGE!! It snowed all day on the 22nd and it was a beautiful sight.
When the kids got home, the 1st thing they did was start throwing snow balls. They quickly turned their attention to building snowmen though. It was dirty work. We decided that gathering the white, clean snow off the trampoline and putting it on the porch would result in a better looking snowman.
We were right! It was amazing to be able to build a snowman in Austin.
Well it was over a month ago now, but we did go bowling and it was very late when we got back to have cake and ice cream. I love Sam's expression. He gets shy at the weirdest times. Happy b-day my little love.
