Brielle's Dance Recital!

We are so proud of Brielle, she did a great job and looked beautiful. She loved every minute of it, the song was Miley Cyrus' zipidee-doo-da all the girls were adorable! Thanks to our family that came to support her she felt so loved!



















She loves her dance teacher Mrs. Kristin :)

Black Mamba's pizza party

We had our end of the season pizza party and of course the weather was awful! It was warm but the wind was blowing so hard! We had to hold everything down, but the boys didn't seem to mind. TJ made 3 larges and breadtwist and 13 boys ate everything! I was shocked!

Whatya want from me....

Our usual mornings consist of waking up at 7:45am, I am NOT a morning person at all!! I take every minute I can take. The kids eat breakfast, get dressed, and then we all go to my bathroom to brush teeth and do hair. We usually blast the radio because let's face it I need a wake up call! Usually the kids pick out their outfits and shoes the night before but there are some mornings we are missing a shoe or socks are missing, and then the morning becomes pure chaos! Twice this year I have take Brielle to school and she isn't wearing shoes! luckily I had her ballet shoes in the car :) Seriously I always tell them I am going to staple them to their foreheads. This morning Brielle is being extra picky with her outfit and hair and I am getting impatient and tell her to hurry up and get ready and put her shoes on, we had 5 minutes until we had to leave. She looks at me with her sassy look and says.... "MOM!! Whatya want from me?" I started busting up laughing! Nothing like a reality check from a 4 year old.
A few days ago I took Brielle to Target to get some nice black shoes to go with her graduation dress. They were on sale for a great price, she took one look at them at said "They are ugly! I don't want to wear them!" We still have a month until graduations so I told her we could look around and find some she liked. Then she tells me "I wanna go shopping with Grandma Leslie, she buys me pretty shoes!" That is her favorite thing, going shopping with Grandma and going to lunch. She loves all the bling and fun she has with her.
This is my favorite picture of my Mom and Brielle. She was 2 1/2 here, and my Mom bought her the outfit and glasses.

Time

I love these 3 lil monkeys! Where does the time go? They look so grown up, I am so thankful for these little monsters and though it isn't easy most the time, it sure is worth it.

Cousin Fun

We had tickets to the Magic show so I thought it would be fun to have a cousin outing! The magician was an interesting old man and his wife was his assistant! I was so jealous of her 70s sequin outfits! We managed not to lose anyone and even raided the candy machine after the show. I love all my nieces and nephews so much, they are all so much fun to hang out with! Thanks for coming with us!

Kindergarten Physical

Brielle had her kindergarten physical and is ready to go to school!
Here's her stats:
20/30 vision
height: 42 inches 53% range
weight: 44.8lbs 93% range.
She is short and in the overweight category, anyone else see something wrong with that? The average weight 39lbs and the average height 41.9. I was shocked when the Dr. asked if she gets enough exercise and eats healthy. She eats a ton but is our healthiest eater. She also is doing dance and gymnastics and is always outside playing. She is solid and doesn't have a roll on her so I am choosing to just watch her growth. She had to get 4 shots and it took me and 2 nurses to hold her down to do them, she is a strong thing! Luckily McDonald's (with milk and apples lol) made her forget about it! :)

Sophie and her purse

It started with her baby and stroller and now the obsession is a purse! What's inside you ask? Everything a girl needs, coins, nail file, lip gloss in glitter or pink, tickets to fiesta fun, and a brush.
Don't you wanna kiss those glossed up lips?

Bella

Last night TJ calls me and asks where Bella is, I told him I am at dance I didn't know. Turns out Jax is home and Bella is missing. We drive around calling her name and then decide to eat dinner and then go back out. We think she got out when we all left for soocer at 4pm and TJ got home just after 6pm. Brielle was getting panicked and after yelling her name started tearing up and said "Mom, I know I can yell.. Bella, Bella, Bella, I got a treat for you!" "She always comes for that!" I almost lost it but I told her she would come home. The truth is I thought someone took her, she has been let out a few times and always comes home. So finally after putting some flyers out and roaming the neighborhood for two hours I decided to get the kids ready for bed and start looking in the morning. My friend Heather came over and had no luck walking around so she read the kids their bedtime story and then Curt walks in with.... BELLA!!! The kids were so happy and I was so relieved, they said "Curt's our hero!" So they got a story and then a few games of red light, green light before bed. I am so blessed with such great friends that love all of our family so much. We both treat our dogs like they are kids and know how important they are to us. Thanks for being our hero and always being there for us! We love you guys and love you Bella!

Black Mamba's spring 2010

Our team had their pictures taken so I snapped some too :) Love these boys so sad we only have 2 games left :(

Lazy Sunday in the park

I love lazy Sundays in the sun, we went to the waterpark and as usual the kids had a blast splashing around.
This is what Hunter and Brielle like to do... run around the water fountain, squirt fights with other kids until Brielle gets squirt in the face then all fun is over, and posing by statues.





Sophie likes to run around and climb on the rocks, eat, snuggle with Daddy, put other peoples shoes on and off, and eat!








We all love playing together!
