We brought the kids to the horse races for their first time ever. We let Cassidee makes some bets. So far she has placed bets based on her favorite color the jockey was wearing, her favorite number, and the prettiest horse. She is 2 for 2 and is up almost $10. I think we will bring her back again.....she must be good luck!
Congratulations Evan and Kelsey! We love you both and are so happy for you!
Here is Jeremy and Cassidee as they are coming off the green "toilet bowl" slide. They came out of the slide backwards, hit the water, and their raft completely flipped over backwards. The guy behind me yelled "Oh Crap!" (not fun to hear when your 4 year old is on that raft....illegally, I might add. She was too short to ride in the first place, but oh well......) Anyway, Cassidee came up completely wide-eyed and immediately said she would never ride that one again. :)
Cason, Cass, and Charlie swimming on Friday after a surprisingly good night sleep in a room all together!
Cass was a slide pro by the time we left!
Funny face!
Little swimmer!
Charlie loved the water spouts!
So did Cass and Cason
She usually tried to spray me! Glad my camera is waterproof!
Big boy!
Cass getting help from daddy to pull a rope.
All pooped out and taking a snack break. They were so worn out but had so much fun. Cason didn't wake up until 11 the next day..... I'd say he had tons of fun!
We've gotten some good play time in with baby Blayze. Cason is super sweet to her and often sits right next to her on the floor.
And he kisses her ALOT!
Standing between her two buddies. She comes home from school telling us that she was Princess Skywalker at recess and things like that. She's never seen Star Wars, but the boys told her that the Princess could fly, so she'll be any princess they tell her to!
My favorite line of the song:
This week was the first time I've ever taken their picture on this alligator at the zoo.
But Cason did think it was funny to pretend the alligator was getting him!
Once again, we spent 2 hours in the MOLA and Cassidee stayed with this snake as long as possible. (I've forgotten the name of it....)
Blayze came over again and actually spent the night with us this week. And there is Cason sitting right next to her again.
And kissing her......again. Do you think he needs his own little sister?
And then we had Cassidee's last day of preschool on Thursday. They performed their program song on more time and Cass insisted on standing next to buddy "C." 
She finished off her time with a great game of Duck Duck Goose before telling her friends bye.
And even though we have one more year before she goes to kinder, I was surprisingly weepy this week. She's just getting so big so fast! Cass and Cason will be in preschool together next year, so that will be really fun, and she is excited that he is going to come to school with her. I think we should start praying for Cason's teacher now.....bless her heart, whoever she is!We try to go to the zoo weekly with our passes. We don't often do the "extras" that cost money but they were dying to feed the birds today. I can usually spare $2! She loved that the birds would just land on her stick.
Roselyn looks like she is seriously trying to figure it out, Cassidee doesn't know what she is doing but she's going to smile about it, and Reagan can't figure out which hand has her Fuzzy Caterpillar on it!Do you ever expect much when you take your 1 & 4 year old to a new place where they have to sit in a little seat for 2 hours??? I don't! My expectations were super low. We would have to walk around, keep Cason from crawling around everwhere, leave by the 4th inning.......
None of that happened! They were GREAT! I wish you could have heard them cheer. And they totally entertained the people around us with their mad dancing skills! We left at 10:15, at the very end of the game! They did so good. I can't wait to go again!

It was Michael Young jersey night when we went. Needless to say, both kids have a Young jersey that will fit them when they are 10! Oh well!
Someday I'll look back on these drawings and smile....
