Kaitlyn's first horse ride!
Kaitlyn's ready to catch the fish!
Love this picture of Daddy & son!
Here we have OJ, string cheese, carrots (in ranch), mandarin oranges, peach yogurt and Sun Chips.
Kaitlyn went straight for the Sun Chips and she actually ate a couple of carrots....
Austin pointed out all of the things that were not orange in his tin......the ranch dressing and half of the string cheese. I may have to get more creative next time, maybe with food coloring. We had fun with this one though!
We decided to do a dinosaur craft which was very informative. We learned that when we mix yellow and blue paint together, we get green!
Kaitlyn did a really good job with her paint!
Here is our finished product.....Stegosaurus! Not sure if you can tell, but Austin is wearing his dinosaur shirt as well.
On to caterpillars! Kaitlyn and I made this craft together. This was the first time she used a glue stick. Most of the glue was put on the paper, but inevitably, she put some in her mouth! That's normal, right? 
She watched the muffins bake in the oven through the little window and said, "Cupcake hot, cupcake hot!" She was so proud and pretty much stayed in the kitchen and watched them cool.......
.....by the way, our muffins fetched $25 at the bake sale! Thanks, Pop! :)
Kaitlyn ate her little smiley faces up quick!
Austin likes to refer to himself as King Austin now! We made some fun crowns out of paper bags. I got this idea from www.notimeforflashcards.com. This mommy blogger has so many neat ideas for our little ones.
And, of course, Princess Kaitlyn!
I was so excited all week about this neat idea! This one is from www.michellesjournalcorner.blogspot.com. She calls it Muffin Tin Monday and the idea is to serve at least one meal a week out of a muffin tin. We didn't get to our special lunch until Saturday, but this was a hit with the kids.....and with mommy!
The theme for this week was Red/Valentines. Austin got the biggest spoon in our drawer for his jello!
Kaitlyn didn't move on to any of the other foods until all of her jello was gone!
Austin's school had a little Valentine's party, so we got to celebrate there as well. He had a good time making his classmates their V-Day cards.
Can you tell we had lots of sweet stuff?
After we got home from Austin's school party, Mommy and Daddy had their own little surprises set out for the kiddos. Kaitlyn made sure to try out the chocolate!
And our last adventure for the week was some painting with water and stamps.....
As you can see, Kaitlyn really liked her cupcake! 
And then we got to celebrate again last Sunday with Keith's parents, sister and niece. We had a great lunch and Keith's favorite, lemon ice box pie! He had lots of help with blowing out the candles.
Austin found some animal tracks! 
The nature trail we were on had signs informing us of the different trees and their names. We all thought this sign was funny!
Kaitlyn had such fun in her little backpack seat! She loves to be outdoors and seeing everything from up high.
Studying some acorns and ants!
She liked the backpack, but she really liked getting to be her independent self.
Before we left the house, Kaitlyn wanted me to put a bow in her hair and she kept it in throughout the entire hike. She can be such a girly girl, but also loves to play in the dirt and keep up with her big brother.
Blowing the dandelions into the air!
