Sidney the Ballerina

Sidney just finished her ballet class.  This is Sidney and her good friend, Lily.  They are so cute and were so excited to have all the Moms come in to class today to show us their routines.  
I was totally cracking up because the parents usually sit outside the room and watch through a one way window.  I just always assumed that they were dancing to beautiful, classical, ballet music.  Apparently, not so much.........You will have to pause my blog music on the side to get the full effect!
But they were SO cute and did a great job!  Man, I love this girl!

Trouble

Our sweet Rylee girl.  She was all too quite yesterday while I was making dinner.  I went up the stairs and found her very focused on tearing and unrolling the new toilet paper rolls.
She was startled, that "oh no, I am so guilty" surprise!  Right away she started saying, "Mess, mess."  I just found this mess, Mom.  Yeah, right!  She was super cute, but was not happy to have to sit by her mess and get her picture taken.  I will take a mess like this anyday!  Cheap and easy to clean up!
She's a funny girl, we sure love her a lot!

Spring Snow Storm


You gotta love Colorado weather.  At least we never get bored.  We had been enjoying the 70 degree winter days, and then spring came.  Easter was cold, and then today this......

We loved it.  20 inches!  And the best part is, today is Saturday and by Wednesday it is supposed to be 78 degrees!

Happy Easter

We had a fun Easter this year.  Apparently our camera was missing in action for most of the festivities!  The kids love to color eggs, they look forward to it all year.



Everyone colored their own dozen eggs.







Sorry no "Easter clothes" pictures.  I will update with a new picture as soon as they wear them again!  We enjoyed an indoor Easter egg hunt since it was freezing out side.  My Mom and Dad came up for dinner and we had a great time.

Green Lightning

Porter and Allen have been hard at work on Porter's first Pinewood Derby car.  Well tonight their hard work payed off!
Our very own "Green Lightning" won 1st place! There was yelling, cheering, picture taking, high fives, ........and that was just me!  
Porter was so excited and just kept saying how proud of himself he was.  

This is the final results board.

Sidney was a very proud little sister.  She gave me a run for my money on cheering the loudest!














Sidney made a car too.  She loved helping and painted her car pink, believe it or not.  They let her race it at the end, she was so proud!
We have to give a BIG thanks to Jean for all the tips and great supplies!  We followed her advice and let me tell you, she really knows what she is talking about!
Thanks Jean!
