I took the kids down to the West Bottoms yesterday to get some updated pictures of them.  They had a blast running around down there.  There were so many people down there taking pictures.  Great spot!

Kohen - Age 6
Karlee - Age 4
Korinne -  Almost 18 months
Korinne was pretty tired during this impromptu photo shoot!  She powered through for a few good ones but I captured some very "real" moments as well!


They loved running back and forth, back and forth. 


Dane party! As you can see, Kohen's go-to move is the robot!


They could've played on these tracks for hours!

Happy 4th Birthday, Karlee!

Karlee's birthday was yesterday and she had a great birthday celebration! 
Birthday cake flavored pop tarts and cake in a jar.  What better, healthier way to start your day?! Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) she didn't really like the pop tarts and only had a coupe bites of frosting.  So, I don't think we did too much damage so early in the morning!


Fun times at Chuck-E-Cheese
Mark and I went to The Raphael and stayed for a night.  He won a free night stay so we enjoyed dinner on the Plaza and then had some drinks by the fire pit outside the hotel.

Hmmm, would you like some milk with that chocolate?

They say it's your BiRThDaY! It's my BiRThDaY too, yeah!

We had a joint bday party at the bowling alley for Kohen and Karlee over the weekend.  Kohen wanted a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle party and Karlee wanted a rainbow party.  We did both - hence, my rainbow hair and TMNT shirt.
Korinne had to join in on the rainbow fun.  The bow only lasted through the photo.  She is trained, though.  She waited until the picture was over, took it off and handed it to me!

St. Pat's Day Race, Misc and More Birthday Fun!


Pre-race beers - a first for me!  Not sure it helped the race much!
The guy ran the whole race with a rainbow strapped to his back!
A little relaxation time after the race

Enjoying some great weather!  Karlee pulled Korinne and Leonardo up to the bus stop to get Kohen.  Then, they all ate some ice cream on the front porch.  Finally, some nice weather! 
Picture day at school.  Riding the scooter up to the bus stop.
Korinne is finally feeling better.  We finally went to the doctor.  She loved making faces at the baby in the mirror on the door!  
Birthday boy!
We celebrated Kohen's birthday at Amazing Play Center with his cousin, Connor.  We had the whole place to ourselves.  It was great! 
Kohen loved his presents.  He really likes the Justice League and especially Wonder Woman because he says, "she's pretty". 
We had to use a 5 and a 1 on his cake because we are saving the 6 we have for the party.  It appears he is turning 51 but it is really 5 + 1=6!

Happy 6th Birthday, Kohen!

Just a few pics from today .... more to come at a later date :)

He had a doughnut "cake" for a birthday breakfast surprise.  He immediately said he was going to eat every doughnut in the cake.  I think he ate two bites and then he asked for Honey Nut Cheerios.  Go figure! His sister's put quite a good dent in the doughnut cake, though!

Korinne was chowing down on doughnuts from the doughnut cake at the bus stop! 
Cupcakes for Kohen's kindergarten class
Here is a picture of him reading his birthday book to the class.
Great birthday at school!

After school Kohen and Connor went to Amazing Play Center.  They had a blast.  They won some great prizes too, as you can see!
