Cinderella ballet

Lauren has been taking ballet in vernal this year at Powerhouse. Last weekend they had their performance of the cinderella ballet. Lauren did such a great job and looked so pretty. She was pretty excited that people came to watch her too.

It's probally against the rules to post a picture of a picture, but I had to post the splash mountain pic. I didn't purchase the picture becuase I don't see spending money on a picture with your eyes closed and your moulth wide open. :) Anyway, whitney had a ball at disney, there wasn't a ride too scary. A couple she had to ride alone. Jeff and I both kinda have a rule. If there is a puke shield we pass! I think she had a good time though. Even though we had few teenager moments.

princess heaven

Lynsie's highlight of our disney trip was definately meeting all the princesses. She was in complete awe. I still am unsure if she thinks they are the 'actual' princesses or if they work a little like the whole santa routine, and let people dress up in their clothes. The line to see the princesses was pretty long, and that kinda was crappy, but I'm glad we waited through it.

Warm Weather

I am glad when it gets warm enough for the kids to play outside. After being inside all winter it's such a nice relaxer! Lynsie has been waiting for the snow to melt so she could drive her car. Austin is such a good little brother and loves to just go for a ride.

grandma t at grandparents day

Lynsie had a grandparent day luau last week at prechool and Lynsie invited my grandma toni. I was really touched when I saw these pics on the preschool blog. Partly because grandma toni is a hard lady to catch in a photo. Second because I am so greatful Lynsie has had the chance to get to spend time with her and get to know her. I really admire my grandma. She is constanly doing for others. If you have met her you have more than likely been a recepient of a casserole, cookies, dry wall help, or just a great smile and hug. I aspire to be as selfless as her. I wish my kids had been able to spend more time with all my grandparents. This pic is truly a treasure.
