Field Day

Emma's school hosted its Field Day today (the outdoor fun and games day).  Emma had a great time.  First up was the water balloon toss.  Sadly, the kindergartners, including Emma and her partner, were terrible at it:

Next came tug of war.  Emma's class won, but it took about 2 minutes total.  Here is just a clip of her pulling as hard as she could:

Next came the water bucket races:

Then the hula hoop chain:

Next up was a rest period and then off to the scooter races:

Last it was off to the obstacle course:

Needless to say,  Emma was very tired by the end of Field Day!

Happy Actual Birthday Sarah

Happy 3rd Birthday Sarah.  And it only took 3 birthday posts to get to her actual birthday!  Anyway, the day started with a birthday lollipop (because why not):

The phone calls started early.  Mommy only caught Papa singing, but Mimi, Grandma & Grandpa, daddy, Aunt Stephanie all called.  Here is her happy face each time someone called:

 After dropping Emma off at school and Emma's class singing happy birthday ( Sarah had a huge grin for that), mommy and Sarah went off to the playground:

After the playground came lunch at the requested Olive Garden:

After dinner came the presents.  Sarah was so excited about everything, running and jumping (except when Mommy tried to get a video of that):

Here she was practicing (or cheating) with the fishing set Aunt Stephanie, Uncle Mike, Kayla and Allison got her for the pool:

And finally, the cake and the last singing of the day:

Brian and I distinctly remember her being born in a hospital and not a barn, but you couldn't prove it by this video:

What a fantastic 3rd birthday.  Next up, Grandma and Grandpa come to visit  for part 4!

Happy Birthday Part 2

We celebrated Sarah's birthday with Mimi and Papa over the weekend (mommy is just slow in posting).  Here she is opening her presents:

She really like her new sheets:

She got a big girl bike (no more pushing for mommy).  She was so excited she couldn't even wait to get it outside to try riding it:

And once she finally got outside with it, she got the hang of it pretty quick:

Next up, the birthday day!
