Cienna - 4 Years, 2 Months... Kaylee - 1 Year, 9 Months!

Birthday season continued.... A BEAUTIFUL beginning with the birth of our newest niece Grace!  Then celebrations for Kai turning four and a 4-40 party for Cameron (4) and his dad Dougal (40).  Next was Stone and then Jake turning 5.  Auntie Kimmy's Birthday was the last for this month.
More good times were had this month with a very windy day trip to the beach, story time at a local library to celebrate Dr. Seuss's 108th Birthday, and a day trip to the park and mammal reserve where we saw seals and sea lions.
We spent some time outside enjoying the sun while working on preparing the garden and cleaning up the front yard for an overhaul.
We had a strong finish celebrating St. Patricks Day complete with Corned Beef, and of course Car Bombs!

"Miss Style" with her over sized sparkly shoes continues to be simply amazing.  Cienna has such a sweet and helpful way about her and just wants everyone to be happy and have a good time.  She is very proud of being able to have straight legs and pointed toes when practicing her dance moves.  Her drawings keep advancing to new characters and shapes.  She writes with ease (much practice with all the Birthday Cards) and is reading pretty darn good.  She loves books and using her imagination.  She strives to learn and loves any activity that involves instruction and practice!

Kaylee is of course all over the place with running, jumping, climbing, and getting into anything that might get a reaction.  Luckily she also is a pretty good listener... although it might take us asking twice : )  She is getting quite good at taking off her own clothes for bath time, and sometimes not at bath time (At Lowe's, Daycare, etc.)  She is using multiple words in a sentence and loves to talk, as well as sing MANY different songs from beginning to end.  Even when she hasn't heard a song before she'll chime copying the words just behind whomever is singing.  Diapering her dolls has also become another pass time of hers.

Porter, although still a puppy, is learning fast.  He was even able to hang out with us off leash in the front yard where we spent the day doing yard work.  He keeps himself entertained throughout the day chancing butterfly's, bees : / and birds!.. and trying hard to not cause to big of tornado in the backyard when we're not around.

The growing sister relationship is quite incredible to watch!  They now enjoy playing together and understand how cool it is to have another playmate along for all the adventures.  They love to play simplistic pretend games with food and acting out everyday activities.  They even got a chance to hang out at little kickers when Mommy and Daddy didn't have anyone to watch them during their soccer game.  Dancing and just being silly together is still a big part of our family time.
