Latest Happenings

Bella and Ciara have had fun playing with girl stuff!

We spent one Saturday at the Wildlife Museum.

The had live owls around the museum that you could look at. This owls eyes were really neat!

We looked at some fish.

and we were just as happy as can be!

We got to play in the children's area.

We showed off how well we could sit up! What a cute girl!

Then as we walked outside the kids were brave enough to try the rock wall.

Ethan was the scientist of the week and we made some homemade glue for him to take to school.

In April we took Ethan took a Nuggets playoff game. Ethan was so excited! He loved everything about it, he was in heaven. Too bad the Nuggets lost that night and was put out that series but it was sure an exciting night.

Lastly, Ethan had a poetry day at school. They wrote their own poems and then read them to the class and the parents that came. Ethan did a good job and his poems were about basketball and his Dad!

I can't believe 1st grade is almost over. Ethan has had a wonderful year!

A Very Busy Girl

Ciara has finally gotten to the age where she can participate in activities and really enjoy it. So we decided to start her in swimming so that she can hopefully be swimming this summer. I don't want to worry so much about her while looking after a baby. Then we signed her up to play soccer. Lastly, she started taking ballet. Dance has to be her all time favorite! And I have loved to buy her dance clothes and get her ready for class.  She does all this plus go to preschool 4 afternoons a week so she is a very busy girl but has loved all of it and never complains about going.

Ciara has done so great at swimming this is her third session and has passed the previous two levels. She gets so excited to go to swimming and I am so proud of how hard she tries and all that she is learning. She can swim half way across the pool now.

Ciara is such a cute little soccer player. She is timid and will only go after or kick the ball if no one else is around. But she has fun going and she does look cute running around. But I am very proud of her. I think that she is the only kid on her team who hasn't cried, thrown a fit, or just laid on the grass in the middle of the game.

Her very first game!

Lastly, Ballet has got to be Ciara's favorite activity of all. She is a little princess as it is, she is always dressing up and dancing around and asking Seth to dance with her so when a lady in our ward started a dance class we thought we would let Ciara try it out and she loves it!

Easter Egg Hunt

Here are a few cute pictures of the kids at our local Easter egg hunt. These are the only pictures I took of Easter, I didn't even get one of the kids in their Easter clothes!

I love that Bella is big enough to go in the running stroller. She loves it!

                   

Bella before her Easter egg hunt. Ciara loved being able to help her get some eggs that she loved trying to shove in her mouth.

Ciara was next, and she did great. She was all bbusiness and filled her entire basket.

Then Ethan went and he almost got the golden egg!

We had a great Easter weekend!
