My Dancing Diva

Raechel danced in the nativity ballet, Celebrate His Birth this year. This photo was inside the brochure they handed out. I love it so much. I'm going to try and get a copy and get it framed. My little dancer is all growed up.

This is For My Sister Debbie!

I'm a horrible blogger. I should be nailed to a stake and whipped. I'm so sorry I forsook you for Facebook. I have no honor. Ok, so to make it up, here's an update on the kids.

Happy Halloween!

Ethan, the spy guy and doesn't Eli look like he's getting "bone" thin?
Raechel is Mother Gothel from Tangled. Mother knows best!
Spooky!!
I guess that eye surgery didn't go as planned.
Hey blockhead!
Kaela Thriller!

Playtime at Discovery Pond

This week we had spring break and it rained all week until yesterday. So, I took the kids to the park.

Kaela Bean played shy for the camera, but I caught her.

"Buddy, you're awesome."

"Ewwwwww, girl germs."

"Look at me, I'm so cool in my shades."

What a great bunch of kids.

Uhhhh, maybe I spoke too soon.

Have a Heart

Oh....Have a Heart. How 'bout a potato heart?
Kaela, my dear Kaela, you'll always be in my potato heart.
Ha ha ha ha. I don't even know what say about this crazy heart.

All Aboard!

My little guy and I had a great time riding the Animal Express today.
Don't forget your ticket.
Is this the right ticket?
Looks like the animals have their tickets.
Now the trick is to keep "owie"gator from eating the other animals.
What a great trip. Thanks, Eli!

2011 Science Fair

Ethan had a great time putting together his project for the Science Fair. He finished in the nick of time and his teacher was impressed. I, was tired.

Pacific Science Center

Anybody wanna go to the Pacific Science Center with me???Umm, I don't know about that.

I'm up for it.
I'm in!
Great, I'll drive.
No, I'll drive. Wait, this isn't getting me very far.
Look, Ma, no hands.
This looks like a nice cozy bed.
I know their fake Mom, jeesh.
I love dinosaurs.
Whoa, are you sure their fake, Mom?
Hmm, I want to make my own bug.
That was a lot of work. I'm going to rest for awhile.
Hey, where is my bed going?
This exhibit only 'bugged' us a little bit.
Let's have some lunch.
Am I shrinking or something?
We got to see an 3-D Imax movie and go to the planetarium. The kids had fun and the parents got exhausted. Great day!
