End of year

Halle had the most AR points in her 1st grade class.  She almost hit 450!  Mrs. Morrison gave her a medal, Little sister and a book!  She was so excited.

The kids had their end of the year program.  Halle doing the princess songs.

She is fun to watch.  She has cute facial expressions

Gid and Gracie singing toy story "you've got a friend in me. 

The last night of school they cancelled Gid's baseball game due to rain so we had a movie night to celebrate

Gracie in her cowgirl outfit. 

Gid..proof he can dance.

Halle's teacher always has her kids do a end of the year play.  This year they did the cutest play that was a musical called Hansel and Gretel eat right.  So fun.  Hal was cast as the Narrator since she was getting her tonsils out while they were working on the play.  She did awesome! 

Hal with the best teacher ever.  She got Mrs. Morrison like Gid and Grace and she really pushed the kids to learn and sets a wonderful start to their schooling careers.

Gid and Grace turn 9

Gracie and Gid had a whirlwind birthday.  They had their tonsils removed 1 week before their birthday.  On their birthday we celebrated with Football practice and a late cancelled baseball game.  The day after their birthday we left for Yellowstone.  Thus no birthday party on their birthday.  Grace had two of her best friends come over for a sleep over about 3 weeks after her birthday.  She had so much fun except the part where her friends told ghost stories about a human hand that would come and kill people.  Thus she is now freaked out to sleep downstairs.  She loved her birthday cake which was the same as Halle's ....rainbow. 

Her best buddies.  Halle, Gid, Gabbi, Josie and Allie

We had a family movie night instead since the game was cancelled 1/2 hour before it was due to start. 

Gid's cake.  He loved it and it was so simple.  A dump truck dumping it load.  So easy and fun

Opening gifts.  She got some doll clothes for her doll, slippers, clothes and flip flops.  What more could a girl ask for.

Gid got a huge elk fat head.  He loves it and loves his room even more now.

We sure love these two sweeties.  They are awesome kids and I am so lucky to be their Mom.

Gabbis first vacation....Stein Ericksen

Gabbs had her first vacation.  We went for two days again to the Stein Ericksen Lodge in Park City.  We love going there and love the spacious room and hot tub.  It is always a plus to get a free vacation and get paid to go there! 

Enjoying the hot tub

Bound and determined to stay awake!

Building a fire and watching a movie

Cutie in a tub

Love her sweet crooked smile.  This girl LOVES her Daddy

Three beautiful girls

Enjoying a beautiful walk through very deserted streets.  We had a wonderful trip!

chipped

I was called by the school secretary a few weeks ago to tell me Hal had chipped her two front teeth on the monkey bars and would need to see a dentist.  Yay, more medical bills!

Waiting for Dr. Priebe

Before the fix............and after.  She had her teeth shaved down and had a frenulectomy.  Gid had this and Gracie is getting one.  They have a lip tie that makes their teeth have a gap.  They cut the lip and it makes the teeth grow back together.  It worked wonders for Gid and we hope Halle's looks a great in 2 months!

Halle Bug turns 7

 Where did the last 7 years go?  I can't believe my bug is 7 years old.  She was so excited to have three friends come and play.  Jillian, Dayzee, Hal and Chloe.

 We had an insane month.  I decided to choose her cake this year so it was easy.  She had a fun rainbow cake and thought it was just awesome.

 Pinata Princess

 She had a great time with her friends!

 Opening gifts

Blowing out the candles.  We sure love our little fire cracker!  She really keeps life interesting and hopping!
