Kings Island - Girls Only

I never thought going to an amusement  park with my girls would be so fun and easy. Ana still has to grow about half an inch before being allowed to ride more roller coasters. Emma rode two roller coasters by herself (big step) and Ana finally got to enjoy White Water Canyon ride (we got soaked).

Having another adult would have been better so that Emma could ride more rides. Maybe next time we go Ana will be tall enough!

Blue Dress

Emma went shopping with my parents back in December and she picked this dress. Yesterday it was the first time she wore it because it was too floppy.  Her solution was to add a ribbon. It looked perfect and she wore a yellow hair bow to match.

Trim & Siding

Cameron decided on cement board siding for our dormer. In my opinion, it is harder to work with than vinyl or aluminium or even wood. We primed it and painted it before putting it up. We broke a few boards even after being real careful with it. The cuts are very dusty (picture cement dust flying all over the place).

It looks nice once it is up. Hopefully we made the right choice of material that will last many years.

Favorite Birthday - by Emma

Emma wrote this at school:

My favorite  birthday was on March 19, 2018. It was my favorite birthday because my mom bought me a cookie cake and i got to pick it. It was turquoise with sprinkles. I also liked that birthday because I turned 8. Also I liked when I got presents. I liked when I got to hit my piñata.

That was the best birthday ever!

The little things that make this kid happy!
