Mikaiya's First Home Run!

Part of the fun of learning to play baseball is that in the T-ball league, they don't have outs or keep score yet. So, each week, whichever kid bats last in the lineup gets to hit a "home run". Here is video of Mikaiya's very first home run:

Mikaiya's Four Year Stats

We took Mikaiya in for her 4 year well visit yesterday. She did very well. They tested her hearing and vision, both were perfect! She had 3 shots...she did about as good as you could expect a 4 year old to.

We were validated in thinking we had a big kid...she is about 43 pounds (91st percentile) and 43.25" tall (97th percentile). No wonder she towers above all her classmates! She has a couple of very close friends who are tall as well, so we don't realize how tall she really is in comparison to other kids her age until we actually get her measured. Looks like she's going to be taller than mommy someday!!

March Photos

I'm a little behind again and just realized that I never uploaded March pictures! March was a fun filled month with Spring beginning and even a TX snowstorm! The girls had a fun visit with Grammy and got to celebrate their birthdays a little early while she was here. It was very nice for everyone! Here is the link to the pictures for the month:

Mikaiya's 4th Birthday Party

On Saturday we hosted Mikaiya's 4th birthday party at the house. It was almost an exact replica of her 3rd, but just what she asked for! We had a princess themed party with a bounce house, castle cake and lots of friends and family. Here is the birthday girl all ready for the festivities:

Here are Mikaiya and Braenna getting ready for the party:

And here is the birthday girl with her cool castle cake. She loved it!!

Mikaiya's 4th Birthday

Mikaiya celebrated her 4th birthday on Friday. It was such a busy day! Here she is at her class birthday party. We actually did it on Thursday this year since Friday was the parade and egg hunt:

After the parade and egg hunt and nap, Mikaiya got to open her presents from Mommy, Daddy and Braenna, Nana and Pop, Uncle Johnny, Aunt Jen and Max, and Uncle Kory, Aunt Teresa, and Emily. She had a lot of fun!

We also went out to dinner for her birthday and went to Red Robin. She got a balloon and a free ice cream sundae along with a little birthday song from the staff. Here she is posing with her sundae. Believe it or not, she didn't even eat it all!!

Easter Parade and Egg Hunt

On Friday at school, the girls had their annual Spring Bonnet Parade and Easter Egg Hunt. The weather did not cooperate this year, so the kids paraded around indoors from classroom to classroom in their Easter bonnets that they made themselves (with the help of their teachers of course!!). Mikaiya had a great time....Braenna required mommy as an escort.

While each class was out parading, the Easter bunny paid a special visit to their rooms and hid eggs:

The girls were thrilled to find the Easter eggs hidden throughout their rooms when they came back. Braenna was really interested in what was inside, and Mikaiya was happy to have found the biggest egg!

Here is a picture of the girls getting ready to go. Hopefully we'll get some better ones on Easter too!
