Monet Garden

For Easter Kate gave us her most recent painting,

Monet Garden.
She kept it hidden and even wrapped it up

with this sweet poem.  Thanks Katers!  It is beautiful!

Happy Easter

 HAPPY EASTER

First, we gave each of the girls their dance team 

warm-ups, with their names on them.  

The look so cute in them. 

 Second, we gave each of the kids a large Easter egg,
 with a couple of scrabble tiles.
They had to combine the tiles together and unscramble the
word......LAGOON.  

We are so excited for Lagoon Season Passes for 2013!

   The Easter Bunny left lots of treats

and Easter eggs. 

Candy Heaven.

 

My favorite peeps in the world!

New Easter Clothes

This year we let each of the girls

choose their own dresses.

It is fun to see their personalities

in their styles of clothing.

Happy Easter everyone.

Squirt - Our new pet turtle

 This is Squirt, our second pet turtle.

Choosing a pet is a big decision.

 The lady at the pet store said THIS is her favorite turtle.

She is friendly, active, and not afraid of people.

 Squirt's first night in the pond,

and she is quite the show off.

 Welcome Squirt!  

We hope you enjoy your new home.

Lulu Dancing

 We have another Dancing Derrick Diva.

Love her twirls, gallops, jumps, and pointed toes.

Ella And The Volcano

Ella's Volcano
Ella had an empty water bottle and
found some tissue paper and let
her creativity go to town.
She is so creative.

Hop

We had a bunny hop across our driveway this morning.

The Child's have a family of wild bunnies who love their backyard. 

We are so glad we didn't see the coyotes that eat the bunnies.
