The Big Day

Anna Kate and her friend Ava

The star of the show... in our eyes!

Anna Kate's dance to "I Love You There's

NO Doubt About It"

Anna Kate's ballet dance to "Lullaby" which

they performed with their baby dolls.

It was precious!

Anna Kate and all her little dance friends get ready for

the big show.  They all did so well!  Only the mommies

were nervous, but so proud.  Anna Kate loved her

recital soooo... much.  She keeps asking every morning when

she wakes up do we get to go back to the "stage" today.

I think we may have created us a little dancer.  That's fine by

me.  Thanks Miss Beth for a great first dance experience!

"Strawberry Picking"

Anna Kate was very precise about picking

her strawberries.  Don't you see the gloves involved?

Will was very determined to eat all

the strawberries he picked along the way!

Imagine that!

Happy Easter!

This seems to be Will's life these days!

Eating EVERYTHING!  Especially the 

things he is not supposed to!  He really

does love eating markers.  I have soooo

many pictures just like this.  Lately it has

been sand from the sandbox, bugs, crayons, 

markers, and....a bucket full of rain water

from the past week.  So far we are still

not sick!

Dinosaur World

Somehow I let my friend Heather talk me into this crazy road

trip to Kentucky over spring break with all our kids.  It was fun just 

 hanging out with our friends, but I don't think we will be going back.

I think it could be referred to as a "tourist trap" for those who are 

wondering what it is.  I'd stick with the zoo!

Anna Kate got an awesome doll house for her birthday.

She plays with it for hours.  It is so cute and has the

most precious furniture.

Happy Birthday Anna Kate!

She had a purrrrrrrrfect Hello Kitty party

with all her little friends!

I like Santa!

Will is tired of Christmas by this point!

We had a wonderful Christmas with Ryan's family and a few days later the kids and I left for South Carolina to spend some time with my family.  Santa was very good to us all!  He brought Anna Kate LOTS of princess stuff with the highlights being a TALKING SLEEPING BEAUTY VANITY!  Will has enjoyed it too!  Will got lots of boy toys!  LOTS of trucks.
