Spring Break part 1

Jim and Natasha came to visit with their 2 kids for Spring break. They had a lot of fun! They played around the house, at the park, at Jump to it....
Heres Jim airborne and all the kids ready to attack!

Jim getting Sadie....

Boys Love The Clarkeys!

Then they took as to the zoo and had a ton of fun! ( minus Sadies fit that had her buckled in her stroller pitching the biggest tantrum of her life upside down IN the stroller:) Geesh!)
Fun pictures from our day!












We had a ton of fun having them stay with us and they were both a ton of help! We had a date night and gave them one too! Miss you guys already:)

Shout out to Kristen! One of my most favorite peeps in the world! Love this picture of us:)



I need to find an old picture of us and do a then and now...hmmmm

Gangs all Here! :)

Last month we got together with Justins "brothers" and celebrated Joey B's b-day. Its so nice to get together with friends. Especially these friends because they are more like family. Its hard to get together but we really try for birthdays. Here is Sadie and her bff Brooke. They are 6 months apart and are two peas in a pod!

I love that the girls are glued to Gage!
All the kids- Ethan, Brooke, Gage holding Austin, Blake and Sadie. REALLY hard getting them all to look at me!

Building a volcano....

Here is Everyone!

What have I created?!

None of the kids have ever been crazy about having their pictures taken when I want it done. Unfortunately for the kids, I got a new camera for Christmas and have been using it like crazy! They are actually starting to get use to it and not making a huge fit whenever I tell them to smile....most of the time. But Sadie has taken it to a new level. I think I'm creating a photo diva!





btw this is her newest tutu M.B.M (made by mommy!) I couldnt find a leotard to match so we improvised!

Ballet take 2

Sadie took her very first ballet class at the local rec dept in January. She was the only one signed up and did't do very well without any other kids in the class. We were told she could come back for the March classes so today we went back to try again. It was her and another 3 yr old girl. It was better because when one didn't want to do it anymore the other one did so it kept the class running a bit better. Here she is before we left practicing first position....

Here she is sashaying.....


The instructor teaching her how to point her toes:)

Is it possible to make this---

Into a pretty ballerina? We shall see! ;)

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

Ethans Pre-k class celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday by dressing up as a character from one of his books. Luckily, we had a halloween costume on hand from when Gage was Ethans size!
I thought it was very fitting!
