Hannah's Ballet Recital!

Hannah has been taking tap & ballet from Kids in Motion dance studio since January! She loves going every Tuesday with her friend Annika! This Saturday she had her first recital. She looked beautiful and did a wonderful job. We are so proud of our little ballerina!

Aunt Keri came for the weekend and got to come see Hannah's big performance!

Great job Hannah! We love you!

Our Pretty, Pretty Princess!

I don't think that Nicholas realizes he is a boy! Since he spends the majority of his day with 2 girls (me and a big sister he absolutely adores), his gender identity hasn't quite become clear. He is constantly dragging me to the toy room closet and pointing out the princess dress he has chosen to wear. He loves to wear my high heels (even though he is constantly falling on his face!) And he was extremely disappointed when we put him in his swim trunks for the first time this year. He kept hitting his stomach like he was trying to say "Why doesn't my suit look like yours and Hannah's?" He is such a sweetheart though. He wants to be just like his big sis. What can you do? We love him exactly the way he is!


See what I mean? He wants to be just like his big sister. But while telling him goodnight Hannah put her arms around him and said "I love you Nick, you're my best friend." What better example could I ask for?

Newport Beach, CA

We had such a great time in Newport Beach! We stayed in a fabulous condo (thanks to Keith's wonderful mom!) It was a very relaxing, laid back vacation! We swam everyday! Our kids are little fish and wouldn't get out of the pool! We also went to the beach a couple of days! We ate out almost every night and really enjoyed ourselves! One sad note was that I turned the big 3-0 but we didn't let that ruin too much! Hannah cried when we left and said she wanted to live there! I wish we could too! Happy Birthday to Mom!
Where did they go? They loved playing in the sand at the beach (Nick loved eating it too!)
Super Girl!

I know that floatie looks dorky but Nick loved it and it made him comfortable in the water!

Our cute family on the way to the pool! It was just down the hill from our condo!
Posing for their cover shot! Beautiful pool & fabulous view of the ocean in the background!
There was a Koi pond and the kids loved feeding the fish!
Hannah made her T-shirt at the kids activity center. Nick made one too but didn't stay in the lines!

Hannah sings the hits!

Clark County Fair.

On Saturday, April 13th we went to the Clark County Fair. It is your standard county fair with a rodeo, rides, games, animals, food, and lots of people. The fair is held in Logandale NV, which is roughly 20 miles South of Mesquite (in the middle of nowhere). We met up with the Griffy's later in the day to go on the rides. Hannah and Nick's favorite part was riding on the ponies. Nick got to ride on "Honey", and Hannah was on "Mariah".







The following are random pictures from our day at the fair:

Veena Comes to Vegas!

At the beginning of April our friend Veena and her two children (Sara and Aaron) came to Vegas to visit us. We spent time cathcing up on the old neighborhood, playing games, visitng the Bonnie Spings petting zoo, going to the Strip, and played at the Children's Museum. The kids started out painting our fence with the sidewalk chalk: Rode the train and met the animals at Bonnie Springs: Saw the "dancing water" at the Bellagio: Went to the M&M's store on the Strip: Danced at the Children's Museum: At the museum they have what they call a "Hurricane Booth", where you get inside this booth, and the wind begins to blow up to 80 MPH. The kids did this so many times we had to make them stop. Here's a picture: Allie and the kids on the pulley system:
