what an imagination!

Bizzy cracks me up everyday. The other day I got out of the shower and found her dancing around the house like this! She said she was an Egyptian dancer.

I would have never thought to use my ballet skirt as a head dress but this girl will make a costume out of anything.

Here she is using her brothers broken sunglasses to be a pirate!

Look out scout camp!

Alex is going to an overnight scout camp this year for the first time. He has done day camps but never an overnight one. He was so excited(I was nervous) this is the first time he has been camping without me. He is a good boy and I trust him but when I am there, I am sure that he is safe. He has had his gear packed for a week. They were supposed to leave today at 2:30 but by 1:45. I couldn't contain him. We drove around for a little bit and he insisted we get to the church so he wouldn't get left behind. We arrived at the church at 2:10 and waited.

Here he is loading his gear in the truck.

One final picture of my scout before he left for camp!!!!

Music to my ears

Alex and Andrea started piano lessons in February and they had their first recital tonight. Andrea loves anything to do with music. She has a sweet little voice and loves to sing. She had really enjoyed playing the piano and learning about music. Alex also really enjoys learning to play. He is not so much a fan of the practice time.

I made a video of the kids but I am just not smart enough to figure out how to put video on my blog so you just get to see pictures of their backs!:-) Andrea played Yankee Doodle and Jolly Old St. Nicholas. She played both individually and then as a duet with her teacher. She did GREAT!

Taking her curtsy after her performance.

Alex played Big Black Cat and he also did really good!

It was really fun to listen to them and also to listen to the other children and see where my kids will be if they continue to practice. I am thankful that they have such a good and patient teacher who makes learning to play the piano fun! Maybe by the next recital I will figure out how to put a video on so you can listen to them!

Possibly the worst day of my life!

Here are the crazy girls that did it with me. This is actually after the race was over.

Here is Ashley before the race pinning numbers on shirts. Her sister ran into traffic and barely made it in time to start so we have on pre-race pictures.

This is the morning of the race and I was nervous but confident. I have had some pretty bad days in my life but I think this tops them all! I really thought that it would be no problem to run-bike-run. The total course was only a little over 11 miles but BOY WAS I WRONG! I ma really debating whether or not to do the triathlon in July.......

Happy Birthday Bizzy!

My baby turned 6 yesterday! I can't believe how fast it has gone and how much she has grown! I let her choose her birthday dinner so we had Macaroni and Cheese with "cheese grilled" sandwiches. I added a veggie tray to kind of balance it out. She got some HSM flip-flops with some serious bling on them from her sister.

Her brother took the money he earns mowing lawns and bought her a pink mouse. She LOVES stuffed animals and was really excited about this one! Good job Alex:-)

Debbie got her clothes. She also LOVES fashion and putting things together. I am not sure where she got that from, I LOVE jeans and t-shirts.

The birthday girl blowing out her candles. This is an exciting time of year for both of my girls. If you'll notice the birthday tickers at the top, they are both 6 years old for the next month and a half! They think it is sooooo funny when people ask if they are twins:-)
