Three Piggy Opera

Tanner performed in the Three Piggy Opera for preschool. He was so excited about it, and would practice the songs every night at dinner. He did so well at the performance it was so fun to watch. I couldn't figure out why the video cam wasn't working so all I got were pictures. But hopefully we can get a copy, I was told that he was singing the loudest. Guess that could be good or bad? I am just glad that he did such a great job, and he looked pretty cute!


Today when I went to pick him up from preschool, he had this cool space man costume on. I loved it so we had to take a picture. Unfortunately it ripped a little but at least we can see what it was supposed to look like. He has loved preschool and has learned so much. I can't believe that I will have a kindergartner this coming fall.

I Hate Cleaning These!


I think it is because they get dusty again so fast. Wish there was an easier way than wiping every singe individual blind. I've tried other ways but it never seems to work like the good old fashioned way. Oh well someday I will be rich enough to own an maid and never do it again. 1 down 16 to go!

Girls just want to have fun

We had a great day filled with fun and mostly girls. I started the day with a hike later than usual but it was good. Then off to the store to buy some last minute things for Jason and Tanner's father and sons camping trip. We saw them off then headed to our friends for some playtime. Paige and Kylie had so much fun playing with 9 other girls. I picked them up and we headed home to eat some lunch then head to the pool. We got there and met 6 other friends and kids at the pool. We had a great time. Kylie is a little fish and loves the water, and Paige was a animal in the water. Jumping in and having a great time. It scares me that she loves it so much I really have to watch her because she is fearless. I need to put her in swim lessons with the other 2 but we will have to wait till next year. We had our fill of swimming so we headed home for a nap for Paige, but it didn't happen because we had to leave to see our movie an hour after we got home.

Of course Paige fell asleep in the car, and slept while we got our tickets and popcorn and sat down in the theatre. We were the only ones for a while, and then a few more people trickled in. We saw

and it was really good, and Paige was really good (Kylie woke her up from her nap too soon!) until the last 10 minutes or so. Such a bummer we had to leave because she kept yelling and crying "GO" "GO". But Kylie said she liked the movie and of course wants to go back.

We then ran to Walmart for some groceries, and picked up pizza for the girls favorite, picnic in the living room. It was a good day and I had so much fun playing with my girls....but I was happy when they fell asleep because I was exhausted!

Lazy Day

Yesterday was so nice, the weather was perfect and we didn't do much of anything....it started off kind of crazy with dance followed by soccer. Kylie is doing so well leI learning her dance to Lion King. I am excited to see her perform in June. And Tanner is LOVING soccer. I haven't had the chance to see him play the last two weeks but we were able to make it for 1/2 of the game yesterday and he loves to slide and hit the ball. Unfortunately he sometimes will trip the other kids around the ball and so the game had to stop while his coach and ref told him to stop sliding. I don't think that will be easy since the kid was made to slide....he slides in T-ball and has loved sliding playing soccer. We will just have to teach him to go for the ball only and not to hit other kids. I love watching him play he has lots of energy. I started taking pictures and forgot to watch Paige and she ended up on the field too, so maybe next time I will do better at the picture thing!
After the game we headed home and had lunch and I took a nice long nap while Paige was sleeping and Jason was watching basketball. After we went and enjoyed the nice day and went on a small bike ride and played at the park. After dinner we headed back outside and we stayed there till after dark. It was a great day and I would take many more days like this but I think there is a possiblity that we will reach 100 this week! Yuck so not looking forward to that. So I am just enjoying the perfect weather now.

Easter





We had a great Easter, although I wished we could have been with family it was a good day. We woke up and the Peter Cotton Tail left them. We rushed off to church and were actually on time for the 1st time in months! We got soft seats it was great.


We got home and we started the prep ffor our Easter dinner. Jason made his first pie, crust and all and was really proud of himself. We had a relaxing rest of the day, ate dinner, and then went for a walk.



IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rain






It was raining this morning when we woke up which resulted in Tanner's cancelled soccer game. So we went as a family to dance, and then headed over to the HOA's annual Easter egg hunt in the gym. It was really crowded and a little chaotic but we had a good time. The kids loved getting Easter eggs, and Paige warmed up to the idea after seeing what was in them. They jumped in the bounce houses and then we took off. We had some grocery shopping to prepare for our Easter dinner, and then went home and watched Bolt. Tanner loved it, and afterwards we dyed Easter Eggs. They had so much fun and I guess I should have boiled more eggs because they were disappointed when they were all gone.

We had a good day and it was a nice change to have some rain and some cooler weather.
