Lazy Sunday evening

Crazy

This is mom playing at the playground...cool huh?

First there is the hanging from the bridge and then

doing a pullup on it too. Last but not least there is a

picture of mom throwing Clover on the bridge wile Sunny is running past ( I missed it).

GO DALTON!!!

This is Dalton. Check out his climing skills! I wasn't here,

but when I got home from a birthday party(this is Zoie)

Dalton was grumpy. I asked him why he was grumpy and

he said that he was mad at mom for "making'' him climb

these trees that he didn't want to climb.

Some Park Time

Some extreme swinging...they actually liked it. The mother in black of all things is Clovers ballet teacher, Miss Kourtney.

Sunny climbing...in reverse order.

"The Flying Ballerina"

The Spring Ballet recital was called the "Flying Ballerina" based on the story of "Dumbo". You couldn't exactly have an elephant flying around the stage so the story was changed into a flying ballerina.

Zoie was the Ring Master. For her solo she had to do a a pirouette and two forte turns together. Imagine her elation as she NAILED it and actually had the audience gasp and awe at her accomplishment. Her mother (me) spontaneously started to cry while giving a high five to my husband!

Zoie, Caitlin, and Kenna danced their finally together and it was beautiful. They danced with confidence, joy and beauty. Ballet is such a beautiful art.

As the Ring Master it was Zoie's job to lead in the elephants (three and four year olds). When she ushered them all out the audience it was a crowd pleaser....they were SO adorable.

Miss Kristen and a real ballerina herself previously danced with Ballet West. We have loved her and are very sad to have her retire from teaching for now. It has been such a joy to work with her and have her instill in our "petite ballerina" a love for the dance.

Spring Break 2010

This face sums up this past Spring Break for me.

We did a lot of fun things and saw all of the family, but doing it alone (husband had to work and couldn't come with) was no fun at all.

Pinewood Derby

Dalton had is first official Pine wood Derby back in March. He took 3rd or 4th over all and he won the "shiniest paint job" award.

Dalton and his dad had so much fun doing this that Stevey is planning an Elders Quorum Extreme Pine-wood Derby...oh and by the way, Stevey went in with his buddy and purchased their own Pine-wood derby track....pah'leeeze. The poor wife has the track set up in the house and it runs through the kitchen, dining and living room.

Soccer Girl and Petite Feet

Clover is taking ballet from a neighbor, Miss Kourtney who is teaching out of her home...we are thrilled about it. Clover LOVES the class and her teacher and we do too.

Clover also wanted to try soccer.....

The season is ending soon!

Dalton is 9

Humility....what's that!

Do you like his birthday cake! He requested a Panda Bear cake from a mold I just inherited from my mother and in the end this is how it turned out....blue cake balls.

I am so proud of this kid and we are so happy to him as a part of our family.
