A lot has happened since my last post, so I'll try to catch up on everything now. Zoe's birthday was probably the highlight around here. She's getting old enough now that she has an opinion about her party, who she wants to invite, etc. We did a fish theme, had a fish pond for a goodie bag, made a few little crafty fish things, and played red-rover. I hope the kids had as much fun as I did - cuz I thought it was a blast! I was pretty proud of my fish cake too, it took me forever to create, and didn't look professional or anything (AT ALL), but it mostly looked like a fish, so - mission accomplished!
Its funny, when she turned three it didn't seem like a big deal to me, she was still a toddler and not much had changed. This fourth birthday thing made me a little melancholy though. She just seems so old! For her birthday gift from us she got her first two-wheeler (with training wheels, of course) she's so cute on it. Brian takes her over to the elementary school by our house to practice, and she has fallen off a few times, but she's really pretty good about it. One time she fell off, she jumped right up and said, "Well, I guess I just have to try it again!" so cute!
We also rode in the stock parade with my family, on the covered wagon. Grandpa let Zoe "drive" for a little bit, and she got a kick out of that. Liam just loves to see the horses, so he was in heaven, and they gave us free rodeo tickets for participating! It was fun, I didn't know I liked the rodeo, last time I went I think I was twelve or so, and I was bored out of my mind! But this time it was fun! And the people-watching was almost as interesting as the rodeo, it was definitely a very diverse crowd... need I say more? LOL
