Trophy Daughter Take 2

Lindsey has done awesome in her dance class and was so excited to go to the awards ceremony/picnic at the park tonight...she was just sure she would get another trophy. Well, not only did she get another trophy....she got 3 more trophies! One for participation, one for awesome attitude, and one for perfect attendance! My little dancing queen was smiling ear to ear as they kept calling her name...so proud of my baby girl! Way to go Lindsey! :)

Fire truck, Fire truck....

Dylan and his preschool class were invited to a tour of the Grantsville City Fire station...including a ride on the fire truck. Dylan was so excited to go with his friends and I was able to go with them. :) We rode down to the station from the preschool, had a full tour of the station and the firefighters talked to the kids about fire safety and had them practice their Stop, Drop and Roll skills. Then we all hopped back on the fire truck and headed back to school. Dylan was a little scared of the firefighter in his full gear (I think because of the oxygen mask) but had a great time checking everything out. I'm so glad I got to go with him! :)

Puppy Love

Missy has been a great addition to our family....the kids just love her and she has brought them so much joy. I'm so glad she came to join us at our home. The kiddos beg and beg to play with her everyday when we get home, we sure are looking forward to warmer weather so we can stay out with her a little bit longer. :)

Dancing Through Kindergarten

I cannot believe I have a Kindergarten graduate already! :) Lindsey soared through her first year of school and did awesome at all of it! She has become a great student, reads well and her writing is getting better and better each day. At the end of the year, the kindergarten classes put on a program, Ryan and I were lucky enough to be able to both go see her dance, she even got daddy up to do the chicken dance with her. She did so well and is becoming such a great kid. Love you baby girl! Congrats on completing Kindergarten!




SnowWest Snowmobile Show

This year we decided to take the kiddos and head to the snowmobile show in West Yellowstone for the weekend. Dave and Raylene headed up with us and we made it a nice little vacation. The kids had a great time seeing the bears and wolves and took full advantage of the swimming pool in the hotel. We wandered around to see all the snowmobiles and the vintage sleds were pretty cool. We watched the snowmobile races for a little bit but the kids were getting tired of walking so we didn't stay long. We wandered through town, did a little shopping and just enjoyed getting away. I think Dylan's favorite part was the motorcycle freestyling in the middle of town for about an hour...he thought it was the coolest and was so disappointed when it was over. All in all we had a great time...maybe we should make this our yearly trip. :)

Locks of Love

Lindsey's hair has been long since she finally had hair. She never really had short hair. She lovingly refers to it as her "princess hair." But the princess hair is hard to manage sometimes...it gets snarly, she hates getting it combed out, it seems like there is always something sticky in it and it just was time for a change. So I tried to convince Lindsey to cut it short (like in Tangled at the end) but she wanted nothing to do with it. We even went on lock of love's website to show her what she could do for a little girl who had no hair. Nope. Princess hair was staying as far as she was concerned. Well...then mom stepped in. I told her we were going to see Kristy to get her hair cut...she was thinking trimmed...I was thinking cut. Guess who won. :) She looks absolutely adorable and she gets compliments from everyone...but she was pretty ticked at me for the rest of the week. All in all, we cut off about 10.5 inches and will be sending it to locks of love. One day I'm sure she'll forgive me...but for now, her face says it all. :)



Family Dinner

We decided to invite Brad, Amy, Natalie and Kate Grigch over for dinner and to play. We fired up the barbecue and Amy brought some most delicious salad and dip and chips. The kids absolutely love to play with Natalie and Kate so they were stoked that they came to play at our house. They played dress up and Dylan was their prince, they built towers with blocks and played dolls. They even had their very own kids table for dinner...they were on top of the world. We all had a great time, I think maybe we should make this a regular habit. :)
