Cranx Kids' Day

Progress is being cranked out at the bike park and it will be having its soft opening this week.  Matt was volunteering again this weekend and I was able to take the kids up to scope out the place.  Matthew is beyond elated to get on his bike and ride around and Meredith thought it was a big playground with lots of "slides".  The bike jump foam pit was even done so the kids had the rare opportunity to play around in it

Snuggle Buddies

Matthew wanted to share in Meredith's joy over her new big-girl bed so much so that he slipped into her room in the middle of the night to sleep with her, which melted my heart

Cranx Indoor and Outdoor Bike Park

Matt has been helping out during the construction phase of the new bike park and today I went along and helped out too by pushing a broom around.  It's going to be a neat place when it opens in several weeks

The XC line has lots of cool features all around on it 

Meredith's 3rd Birthday Celebration

The Birthday Girl! 

Matthew was great at helping his sister have a wonderful party

 Nana and Papa surprised Meredith with new bedroom furniture and room decorations.  Nana did an awesome job customizing the bed headboard and desk-Thanks bunches :)

Meredith and Matthew's friend Eve came to help celebrate 

 Cake-YUM!

Meredith thinks her little table and chairs are neato :) 

Happy 3rd Birthday Meredith!

Meredith, my sweet little angel, is now 3 years old-Happy Birthday!  Her celebration is this weekend, but we couldn't forget about the traditional morning gift

 

I experimented again with baby cakes-the ones on the sticks spell out 'Happy Birthday'
