Easter - Yes, Easter 2011

 This year for Easter we took the kids to the North Salt Lake egg hunt.  It was kind of a flop, but they had fun anyway.  Then after that we went to the Gateway and walked around for awhile and went to Build a Bear.  The girls had a blast dancing around and enjoying the wonderful spring weather.

 Trying to get some eggs!  It was really slim pickins, I don't think that they considered how many people could actually show up.

 Who can resist dancing in the walk ways?  Certainly not Ali and Emily, they dance wherever they go.

 Tickle Time!   This is the best way to get Emily to smile normally.



Totally Random

Awhile ago it was our friend Cooper's Birthday party.  He had a Transformers party, and I think that that girls really dug it.  I left thinking that I need to start buying them boy toys instead of the girl toys that they don't play with.  Cooper had these big Optimus Prime masks that made your voice go strange.  They had a blast.

The weather has also been touch and go lately.  The kids are loving it when we can play outside. 

The craziness sure comes out when they have been cooped up from rainy weather.

Ali has also lost another tooth.  

Competition Season Highlights

There are so many pictures that I could post of all of the girls' dance competitions this year, but that would be too hard to post them all, so here is a sampling of some of the highlights.

Emily's Tiny Tot team performed a "Rocky" medley with the "Rocky"  theme song

and "Hit Me With Your Best Shot."

Emily had such a great time at dance this year, and felt so big like her big sister.  She is excited to dance again this year.  Hopefully we can work on getting some more smiles out of her.  She was so serious this year.

Ali was on the Junior team this year.  One of their dances was "Fembots."  They dressed up like little rag dolls, and this was probably our favorite dance of the three they did this year.

Their next dance was "Mmmm"  it was their Lyrical dance. 

And last, but certainly not least was Hip Hop.  They did a "Baseball Mix" to a couple different hip hop songs.  She gets so into the Hip Hop that it cracks us up.  She has all the faces and moves for it.



A Day At The Park!

Our last day in St. George we met some friends at a really neat park.  The weather was perfect and the girls had a blast.  The park was the neatest one that I had ever been to.  All around the perimeter of the playground they had porch swings for the adults.  I would move there just for that park.

 They had this neat little cave that led the kids down of rope bridge and into the playground.  Emily thought that it was so cool!

They even had spinny buckets.

Ali is really into the monkey bars and climbing things.  This is pretty much what she spent her time doing.

Emily was so happy to be in the sun and able to play outside.  It was glorious.

Olivia, Ali and Emily.

The girls just chillin' and cooling off in this neat swing.

HaHa!  Matt was trying to climb this wall.  He tried and tried, and finally made it up after watching a bunch of little kids do it.  He had to watch to see what path they took.   It was actually really hard in a lot of places.
