Dancing Queen

Wow!  It takes your breath away when you see talent like this.  (Sorry the videos are a little fuzzy.)

These videos make me so happy!  About two weeks ago when Scott's parents were here we were treated to Addy and Charlotte's piano show.  As Addy "played" the piano, Charlotte decided to dazzle us with her moves.  And the girl has some serious moves . . .

And this one is my favorite:

Weekend Visit

We had a great visit with Grammy and Plumbly this weekend.  I had to get some pics with the girls all matchy matchy!

All weekend the girls entertained us with their singing, dancing and piano routines.  Just wait until you see the video - I will post later this week.

The ladies getting their play on with the new toy.

Happy Mother's Day

So thankful to get to celebrate this day with my Mom!  She is a lovely and strong woman.  So lucky to have her as my best friend and role model.  And I get to share her with my two girls as they grow up.  And next week my most amazing mother-in-law will be in town to celebrate.  She is a caring and compassionate woman.  I feel lucky beyond measure to celebrate motherhood with these women and girls around me.

We had a lovely brunch this morning to kick off the celebration.  Yum!

Happy Mother's Day to all my friends and family who are amazing and passionate moms!

First Science Project - Kindergarten

Addy's first science project:  Birds

Grandpa helped Addy come up with the idea and all these pictures were ones that he's taken around the NW.  Addy enjoyed looking up bird facts to put on the display.

She worked really hard on it and put a great deal of time into writing out everything and arranging it just so.

She found some fun facts:  An ostrich's eyes are bigger then its brain and puffins fly underwater.

She did a presentation of her project at school.

So proud of her project.  Love it!

Spring Fun

Just a few pictures of the spring time fun we've been having.  Last Tuesday Charlotte got tubes in her ears.  Although I was nervous and it took us a while to land on the decision, I am really happy we did it now.  I have already noticed some changes with our Charlie Brown.  She did great through the process.  And I believe its going to make a difference for her long term.

Ashlie and Knute came over for dinner and the girls did their twinkie thing.  Here's Addy doing her fashion pose.

All matchy matchy.  I love it.

 Love them here.

This one makes me smile because I can look at their faces here and I know exactly that look from both of them.

With all the warm weather it was time to get out the new water table.  At first Charlotte was complaining (meaning pulling, tugging and stomping her feet) at the swim diaper and suit.

Then she realized there were fun toys to play with associated with said annoying suit and diaper.  Let me outta here.

Helping Daddy put it together.

This one is so funny that I had to post it even though its blurry.  Too funny!

Again, I couldn't get any good action shots as she was charging around, but I think you can get a sense for her wispy mullet.  Pretty awesome!

Tonight we were just being really silly.  Charlotte was running around with the strainer on her head.  Just a normal night around these parts I guess.
