Julie and Jason's Baby Shower

Today we celebrated Jason and Julie's Baby shower for their baby boy that is due to arrive July 5. Despite the crummy weather we enjoyed the day! Good food, good company, good times!

Recital rehearsal

Karli decided to do Jazz this year and she really likes it. Her dance teacher actually approached me last week to see if Karli would be interested in doing Jazz competition dance next year. This involves a lot more money on my part, weekend competition trips, and Karli will have to take a required ballet class in addition to the competition dance class. She has NEVER been interested in ballet but she did say she would take it in order to compete. We will see next year......

Cameron is probably the youngest in his tap class. All he wants is the trophy after the recital. He saw that Karli got one last year and that is his motivation for dancing this year. He was really captivated by watching the boy hip hop groups at the rehearsal though. So next year maybe he will want to try hip hop with the boys.

Neither of my kids had any problem getting up on stage for the first time. We are so proud of them!!!!!! Video is on Facebook, I tried to upload video to this site, but it was not cooperating.

Castaway Bay

During the kids spring break we took an overnight trip to Castaway Bay. The kids absolutely love it and have a great time. Mom, Dad, and grandma do too :) Karli was brave again this year and decided to once again try the "roller coaster boat slide." After a terrified look coming down the hill and a few tears later, she decided that she still doesn't like it. This year neither kids, nor grandma were scared to stand under the big bucket of water. Cameron was tall enough to go on the taller slides in the play area depending on who was running them :) I think everyone's favorite part is the hot tub! Karli even had a friend from home that happened to be there at the same time. I'm sure this won't be our last trip to Castaway Bay!

Happy 4th Birthday Cameron!

Cameron was very excited for his birthday this year. He now has a big boy bed and is doing well sleeping in it too! I do have to admit I was a little sad to see my baby turn 4. They just grow too fast. Good thing Jay and Julie have a new little one coming soon :) We love you my sweet boy, Happy Birthday!!!!!

Happy Birthday Karli!!!!

I can't believe 6 years ago today. We brought our beautiful daughter into this world!
Below is a picture of our silly 6 year old!

We are so proud of Karli!

It has been a big year for Karli! She learned to ride a 2-wheeler, swim under water, tie her shoes, and to top it off she has transitioned very well into 1st grade! Mrs. Ring said Karli fits right in and is excelling. She also said Karli really likes Math and she is her little helper in class. Karli was one of only 2 kids in her class to receive perfect attendance so far this year! The above picture shows Karli's award and reward for her perfect attendance.

Halloween 10/31/10

Last night we continued our Halloween tradition and went to Grandma Carmen's house for trick or treating and my birthday celebration. The weather was chilly, but Natalie and Karli decided to make a pit stop and go back out! Cameron and Sam were happy with staying in and drinking hot cocoa. Fun times!
