Catch up!

When my friend Heather asked if I had some pictures from our visit to Cunningham Falls State Park, I realized that I never put up pictures from that day! We Killion ladies drove up to Cunningham Falls with the Heit's, the Story's, the Wangberg's, the Cleaves', and the Cowart's. WHAT A FUN TRIP! After we ate lunch, we took pictures of all our kids and then we set out to see the falls.

Hiking is always much more fun when you have a walking stick.

When we reached the falls,

some of the older kids started to climb up the side. Some of the younger kids decided they would do it too, and their moms jumped in to join the climb! I decided to keep the girls away from that climbing HAHA so we went a little bit downstream.

Lizzie and Cate had fun throwing stones and sticks into the water. Soon many of the kids joined us.

It was such a fun outing for all of us; I can't wait to go back! We went to Ben and Jerry's for some free ice cream the next day.

The kids were overjoyed!

We then flew to Utah, and that trip is covered in the post before this one. Since that post, we've returned to our regular routine. Don't you love it when your kids help out around the house...with bubble bath soap? ("Mom, we wanted to make the table clean...just for you!")

Lizzie's friends, Sophie and Chloe, gave Lizzie a mini muffin/cupcake bake set for her birthday. We FINALLY used it (not just for pretend play)! I found this very easy, tasty recipe online and we made mini vanilla cupcakes with Aunt Julia and Mimi.

The stand is so cute! Lizzie had a lot of fun placing each cupcake just so. Too bad none of them stayed there for very long... ;)

We found these capsules at Target--place one in a bowl of hot water and watch it turn into a bug shape. The girls are fascinated by them!

We've been to two birthday parties! Corbin turned two and his party was at the Adventure playground. It was a beautiful day! Maddie and Lizzie singing "Happy Birthday" to Corbin

Corbin got a lot of fun things!

And the cake was fabulous! Cate especially loved it :)

Mia had her birthday party at the dance studio where Lizzie had her dance class last fall/winter. She LOVED it! Getting ready to go to the party!

All the girls lined up, ready to go. (Thanks Molly for taking these pictures)

I love this one--it's a little blurry, but the happiness is there!

Each girl decorated her own crown

After a frigid Monday, the weather is slowly getting warmer, and we like that! It means more outside fun.
