Butterfly Party

The rain held out for Lauren's birthday party and it was a bit cool and windy, but we had a great day in spite of it! We invited all of her school friends AND our family and friends to one big party. It all went very smoothly and we all had a wonderful time.

Baldy the clown was amazing. The kids and the adults enjoyed his humor and his awesome balloon creations!

Uncle Jeff was a good sport and let Baldy dress him up. Lauren was in disbeleif!

She's FOUR!!!

Wow, four years went bye so fast. Lauren has grown into her own little person. She is independent, thoughtful and has many friends that she talks about ALL the time! She has an amazing imagination. She makes "Hotel Lauren" upstairs in our house, create her own restaurants, has tea parties, loves to dress up and can't get enough craft activities!

Lauren and Maddy Join the Zoo

It all started out as a nice trip to the the zoo. We saw some animals, even the peacocks were strutting around in full display!

 Maddy and Lauren enjoyed their time together...

 ..it all took an interesting turn when the Insect Parade came through the zoo! The girls and Ryan were so intrigued by the whole thing, they started following these larger than life insects through the zoo!

 Lauren really loved the Monarch butterfly.

 About halfway through the zoo the "Insects" invited them to join the parade! The girls held hands with the grasshopper and became part of the entertainment!

 Later, Aunt Jenny came to celebrate Lauren's birthday a little early. She got her first pair of roller skates! 

 Daddy liked the Pinkalicious helmet so much, we may need to get him one of his own!

First Game of the Season!

The Krupskis and Pizzurros headed out to the game for our first Met's game of the season. Everyone had a great time. It was a little chilly, but we managed to keep warm! Lauren, Maddy and Ryan all got a chance to play on the little field- they got to play the outfield, hit the ball off the tee and run the bases. They even got to be on the big screen in the little field.That wasn't enough for those girls though, the danced the whole game and got themselves on the really big screen for the "dancecam"!

Easter

That Easter Bunny was sneaky this year! He left a trail of eggs from Lauren's room all the way through the house leading to her basket. I wonder how he got in her room without waking her up?

New pajamas!

 All dressed and ready for church. 

Uncle Jeff was amazed by the transformation from the before and after look!

 Dinner at Aunt Marie's was "super sized" this year! 

We were 30 people and it was great playing all day with Leo. 

Lucas had a great playmate in Elan.

 Cousin's spa bath is always the best way to end a fun day!
