What's cool....




What's not cool is my girl has been running super high fever for the last two days. With no signs of ear infection, cough or cold, we simply let it run its course.

Only 36 more days to go until summer (now that sounds cool, too!).

Happy Birthday, Jay Bird!!

For 25 days, we're the same age!

Swimsuit Season

I found these sweet little swimsuits on the clearance rack the other day. Aren't they precious?! R will definitely need a one piece -- her little booty won't hold up the bottom half.

Q testing out the new suit in the sprinkler...

"Nemo" goggles are pretty awesome, too... thank you, Mimi!

She didn't want any part of the sprinklers...

Disney on Ice

We had loads of fun at our "Disney on Ice" performance on Saturday. Our camera wouldn't allow for many great pictures of the characters; most of them turned out fuzzy or too dark.

Q-man was really into it! He kept asking if the characters were the "real" ones. He loved seeing Captain Hook & Peter Pan, but didn't think Stitch, from "Lilo & Stitch" was real. ha!

Ri loved Tinkerbell & Snow White, but wasn't as easily entertained as her brother. She preferred the cotton candy & lemonade over the show. A girl after my own heart!?

Splishin' & Splashin'

Over Spring Break, the kids enjoyed a warm dip in the neighbor's hot tub. We were not anticipating a swim day, but these two sneaky Schmidt kids were soon down to their undies and living it up.
