Watching the Eclipse.....

We went down to Beryl to watch the Eclipse with some friends and a whole bunch of other people. I borrowed a welding helmet from someone that was there to take the pictures with. We all had some glasses to watch it with it was a pretty cool experience. The last time it happened in the United States was in 1994. I remember watching it then my school teacher brought a welding helmet for our class to watch it through. The way it effects things is pretty cool. The shadows were awesome to watch and so miscued. I've seen some pretty cool pictures that people had taken but I think the ones I got are just as cool. Addilee thought it was cool to see the moon in front of the sun.

We have a new pet.

We have a new pet. We got a female rabbit so now we have four rabbits. The kids love to play with them and feed them things. Aspen thought it would be fun to climb in one of the pens. So I guess Aspen was our pet for the day.

Preschool Graduation.

                                                       The girls that did the Hawaii dance.

                                    The teacher Miss Marlene. Addilee loved her she does a great job.
 

                                                Addilee and Parker with there friend Addison.
                  Addison did a Mexico dance in case you were wondering why she was dressed that way.

Addilee and Parker graduated from preschool this year. They both start kindergarten this coming fall. I can't believe how fast they are growing. Addilee had to preform a skit with quite a few girls. They were doing different cultures and the girls Addilee danced with did a Hawaii dance with grass skirts and lays. She did a really good job with her dance and had a lot of fun. She swayed her hips the whole time. Parker did some kind of Africa dance. I loved having her to to the Montessori Preschool. Miss Marlene is a great teacher. I hope that I can get Patton in this year. I can't believe how much Addilee had learned these past two years. I can't believe that she will start kindergarten. Man they grow up way fast.

First fishing trip of the year.

                                                I thought this picture was cute. I had to snap it!

We decided to take the boat out for a short fishing trip to Gunlock. We only caught a few crappy and as you can tell from the picture they are quite small but we still had fun the kids loved playing with the fish and playing in the cold water.

Addilee's first T-ball game.

Addilee is in T-ball and she loves the interaction it gives her. Her and Parker are on the same team and they enjoy playing together. She is usually off in her own little world but that's just AJ for ya. She is definitely not a competitive person and that is totally ok with me. She loves going to practice and games and that's all that matters.

Addilee's Birthday.......

This year Addilee had a friend birthday party and a family party. We made cupcakes that looked ice cream cones. All the kids loved them. They had a great time playing games and having fun. We had a family party a couple of days later and she had a purse cake. I wasn't very happy with the way it turned out but I was in a hurry so what do you expect. She had a great time. I can't believe that my little girl is growing up. Happy Birthday Addilee we love you so much. You bring so much joy to our family I don't know what we would do without you.

Dance Express Review 2012

This was Addilee's last dance of the year. The dads escorted out the girls as they read off the names. Ben made it home just in time to be Addilee's escort. She did a great job dancing this year and loved every minute of it. She is excited to dance next year it can't come fast enough. Daddy bought her some flowers and she thought she was one special little girl. She was very proud of them.
