Baby swallows

If you look really close there is a baby in there. There are actually 4 babies, they are so cute! They are starting to get their feathers :)

Our shining star

Saturday and Sunday was Karli's Pom Dance recital. She did great! We are so proud of her. It can't be easy at her age getting up on stage. At the end of the recital there is a finale dance put on by all the dancers and Karli took on a motherly role helping out a petite 4 year old so that she wouldn't get trampled by the crowd. I love it. Here are a few pictures from her recital.

Brocolli

Wow! This is my first year planing a graden and I did not expect the brocolli to be ready so soon. I actually picked some a little too late as it has started to flower.

Karli's Preschool graduation

It's official Karli will be a Kindergartner in the fall! Karli has had the pleasure of having Mrs. Sharon for the last 2 years of preschool and Cameron will have her as well. Karli loves Mrs. Sharon and as she walked on the "stage" she said she wanted to be a teacher when she grows up. Karli was lucky to have her grandmas there to see her graduate. Karli's preschool has been a great introduction to education and school!

FYI these pics were from my moms camera and I can't seem to get them any bigger :(

Our house is the place to be

We now have barn swallows making a nest on our front porch out of mud. After investigating these birds on the Internet it says:

If the nest is approached by a predator or human, the entire colony will mob the intruder using aerial acrobatics. We have found this to be very true :)

Over the winter Karli and Chris made a bird house together. We were pleased when we found a very pretty bird had made a home there. After some investigation we found out this bird is a tree swallow.

2 wheeler!

Let's just pretend this is the first video ever of Karli riding without training wheels all by herself. Actually it's her 2nd time. For those of you that haven't heard the story, I lost the 1st video. It didn't upload to the computer and I thought it did, so I erased it (I know I will never do that again). It's OK because this video is just as special because she turned for the first time in this video, which she was afraid to try. Way to go Karli!
