Easter

Seeing what the Easter Bunny brought them

Kaili made this for me and Jason for Easter. It was her first time sewing. Thanks Granny for spending the time to teach her. We love it Kaili girl!

Kaili

Sasha

So we had a quiet Easter this year. The girls have been pretty sick with strep a few times in a row and fevers non stop, but they were happy to try on their new dresses and let me take their pics. Jason had signed up for a shift a couple weeks prior (not realizing it was Easter) and had to work all day. Luckily he was able to be home in the morning to watch them look for their eggs and find their Easter baskets. I made breakfast then we played nail salon for a while before we met Jason for lunch. By that time the girls were pretty tired from not feeling well and we hung out at home playing beauty parlor and watching their new movies. They looked so pretty in their dresses even not feeling very well. I hope everyone had a great Easter!

Kaili Won!

SHE WON 1st PLACE! I am so proud of Kaili she entered in the school reflections doing 3-D art. The theme was "A Patriot is" and she said, "A Patriot is someone who takes the right steps to become a good leader."

She made this out of fondant frosting all by herself. (thanks to Nana for putting her through classes to become a Wilton certified cake decorator) She made a pair of shoes (steps) a patriot hat, the flag, and the wagon (leading).

She had quite a bit of competition and I'm so proud that she did it on her own.

Great job Kaili girl! We love you!

"The" wishing well....Jason asked me to marry him here 10 yrs. ago

Ending our trip in Las vegas seeing Cirque du Soleil

This was an awesome Christmas totally surprising the girls with a family trip to Las Vegas and California. We left Christmas morning right after breakfast. We had so much fun and really enjoyed the time with just the 4 of us. They really enjoyed Cirque du Soleil (Mystere) in Las Vegas. I would love to do something like this in the future. I loved spending quality time with my little family, what's a better gift than that?

Girlies Dance Recital

Kaili is the second in on the right.

Sasha is the last on the right.

The girls just had their Christmas Recital. Kaili chose to do Hip hop and did a great job. Her body has so much muscle for her age she could really hold her stalls well. Sasha wanted to be more traditional and do Jazz. It was definitely her style, she twirled all across the floor beautifully. I'm so proud of them and they looked so happy and beautiful.

Steelers vs. Broncos Game

Before the game started (my face still pretty swollen from my
wisdom teeth surgery a week before, UGGH!)

Us and Macey and Jason

WE WON!!!!!

So I'm a little late putting this on but, the Swine flu decided to enter our home and we've been down and sick for a couple weeks. Jason and I went with our friends, Macey and Jason, to Denver for the Steelers game. I didn't know I'd like it so much but it was a blast. We stayed in an amazing hotel right next to 16th street. (outside HUGE walking mall and restaurants) It was an exciting game and the Steelers won. The stadium only had Steeler fans when there was still 8 minutes left. (real supportive "Broncos" fans) Haha! I would definitely go to an NFL game in the future. Fun! Fun!

My Little Girls 9!

Kaili turned 9. I can't believe it! She had a Halloween birthday a couple days before her real birthday. She had all her good friends there. We played games, made candy apples, and spooky spiders. Kaili made her own birthday cake, a ghost. On her real birthday we had a family funeral (Jasons Grandpa passed away). We spent the day with his family. It was a beautiful service, just how he would have liked it. Then we decided to invite family for a fun night at Boondocks. She had so much fun playing laser tag, arcade games, and go karts. Thanks to everyone who came and made her night!

Kaili girl,

I can't believe how fast time has gone. You are growing up to be such a sweet young lady. Daddy and I are so proud of you and how hard you work. You are doing so well in school and are such a big help at home. Your little sister looks up to you so much and we know why. You definitely know what you want in life and we have no doubt you will work your hardest to make sure you succeed for what that is. I hope your day was special for you. We love you more and more everyday!

Love,

Mom & Dad
