My Little Dancer

Bronwyn has been taking a preschool dance class since last fall and is getting ready for her recital! This will be the 1st recital she will perform in without any teachers on stage. She'll also get to be in two dances. Her class is in a Mother Goose themed show and will be dancing to Hickory, Dickory, Dock. She has about another 6 weeks till the show, but at the end of each month the parents get to watch all the girls perform in class. Here's a video clip from today's performance!

Happy Easter!

We had three family gatherings to get through this Easter so it was a very full day for us! Bronwyn woke us up early to let us know that the Easter Bunny had been here. She said she saw full baskets but "did not peek!" She decided to wake a very sleepy Hayden and check out what was in their baskets.

Afterwards we went over to my parents house with breakfast and had an Egg hunt outside in the backyard for the kids and their cousin Drew.




























Then we headed home to chance clothes and went to Danny's dad's house for brunch. Evelyn's kids were also going so it was a fun time. There was lots of food and of course a fabulous cake by my sister-in-law Jamie. The kids played and we were able to just hang out and eat. They also set up an Egg Hunt so the kids got to have another chance to search for goodies!











When we were done there we took a drive to get the kids to fall asleep quickly before going back to my parents house for dinner. There we had "Round 3"! We ate an early dinner and hung out for a bit longer. And we all had more dessert! I felt like we ate all day!!! But it was fun. I always like holidays where we get to spend time with lots of family!

We have a little copy cat in the house! For the last couple of days Hayden has been following his big sister around, doing everything she does and repeating everything she says! It's pretty funny. Now I always have two little people asking for the same thing. The good thing about him liking to do everything just like Bronwyn is that I can get him to clean up quick, or get ready fast. I caught them playing in his room earlier...
my little "peat" and "repeat"!

Daddy's Build the BEST Forts!

Although I do have issues with lots of pillows and blankets being drug out to build forts in my living room, it's hard to turn these two down when they ask! Danny said he was the best fort builder when he was little so he has a fun time building them up for them! They even had lanterns and flashlights for the dark!

A Star in the Making!

I wanted to buy Bronwyn a CD Player for her bedroom. She had still been using this little musical toy that shows light pictures on the ceiling but shh... it's really for babies! So I found a really cute little Tinkerbell Flower CD player that happens to have a microphone attachment! I would have just loved this when I was little!!! My parents still have video of me singing on my room to my LaBamba tape... yes tape... and using a baton as a microphone! It's actually quite amusing! Anyway, I set up the CD player tonight with some nighttime songs that I downloaded. Of course Bronwyn needed to try out the new microphone... take a peek!

And I know, she totally "germs up" the microphone. I think she thought it was funny to hear her loud coughing!

Little Brothers...

What else are little brothers for than this...











OUCH!
NOTE TO SISTERS: Don't fall asleep with your head hanging down in the car!!!
He was even saying, "cheeeeeeeeese!"

Fun at the Park!

Since today was a warmer day and most all of the last snow has melted we took a trip over to the park. It's nice having my mom with my nephew Drew right down the street, we invited them to join us! Here are a few pictures from our day!









































Hayden kept going down the slide over and over saying "Ta Daaaa" at the end!









Bronwyn loves to roll down the small hill at the park!










Drew was very excited to be there playing!









So glad we got to get out and enjoy the weather!

Goodnight Bronwyn, Goodnight Pinky...

Danny was taking Bronwyn to bed and I peeked in to say goodnight. This is what I found!!!











I can't believe she wanted that giant thing next to her, but she loves it! So far it's been in almost every room of the house with her! Such a silly little girl!

Happy Birthday Bronwyn!

4 Years ago today I brought such a sweet little baby into the world. Today she is growing up to be quite an independent, caring, curious, and creative little girl! Yesterday we celebrated with family and friends with a Fairy themed party at our house. Bronwyn chose the theme and helped me pick out come fun party decorations. She was also in charge of the guest list and the games! I love coming up with fun ideas and getting creative with the decorating.










We started the day with a little pre-party pampering at Sweet & Sassy salon where I took Bronwyn for her 1st ever manicure and updo! Just for her special day! She loved getting all done up!

Then it was time to party! First the girls got to come in and get dressed in fairy wings and skirts and got a little fairy glitter!Then they played Fairy Freeze Dance and Musical Chairs. Next we had cake and opened presents. My sister-in-law Jamie made the cutest cake for Bronwyn and mini cupcakes for all the guests. I was so impressed!

It seemed like everyone has fun. And there are now more toys than we have room for! Bronwyn asked for this HUGE stuffed animal that is a lemur, she has some of the smaller ones already. We had to go to the zoo just to get it! But we totally surprised her and she was so happy! We also got her her 1st bike! She seems to have finally gotten the pedaling down since we brought her tricycle inside the house. It's great to have everyone come out and celebrate her. We really appreciate all of our family and friends!









I have loved watching Bronwyn change over the last year. She is an incredible little person and I wish everyone could get to know her true, "at home" personality! She simply is... amazing!

Thanks to Aunt Jamie for getting some video!!!

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

So we are going from one birthday to the next for the next few months. It gets a little crazy around here! For my Dad's birthday Danny and I took my parents to Fogo de Chao, a Brazilian Steakhouse. We got to go to one when we were in Arizona in December and came back promising to take my Dad to the one in Denver. It's all you can eat steak!!!!! Writing about it just makes my mouth water! I love the atmosphere and all the delicious steak items! If you have one in your state you have to make a trip!
Enough about that... on my Dad's actual birthday we went over to my parents house for dinner and cake. The kids were so excited to help blow the candles out! And they all love getting to indulge in some ice cream cake! YUM!
