our day off  

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

We spent today at Splash Valley with Uncle Ben and Ashley!
On the way there, Kate kept saying, "I can't believe we are going to Splash Valley! This is going to be SO awesome! I really can't believe it!"
Also on the way there, we listened to Wagon Wheel, a favorite song for our kids because it's catchy. Hank can sing along now, too. In fact, I heard him singing "rock me, mama" in his crib at 6:30 this morning...


 We had a great great visit with Aaron's brother Ben and his fiance, Ashley. They just got engaged a week and a half ago! We went out on a nice date with them on Saturday night to celebrate the engagement, and then after church yesterday Aaron was able to play a round of golf with Ben while Ashley and I talked all afternoon and learned more about each other. We were glad they stayed around today, too, to go with us.
Hank really enjoyed it but didn't get too adventurous. He mostly walked around in the shallow water and gave all the babies a gentle pat on the head (he LOVES babies). He did go down one slide a few times but in order to get to it, he had water coming down on him and didn't like it.


 She's a fish!
 Throwing a tennis ball in the air together...



 She doesn't let an opportunity to pose for the camera pass by...
Hank took his nap here. We didn't want to leave! I cherished it...extremely rare, if ever since he was probably 2 or 3 months old, has he fallen asleep in my arms. Just to hold him while he is being still...ahhhh.
One happy mommy...two giggly girls having the time of their lives at a water park, while I sit beside their handsome daddy who spent his day off serving his family in this way, with a sleeping baby boy sharing my space. It may sound cheesy but it's amazing and perfect for me!

plight of the baby brother

Hank had to hang out with all the little fairies in the dressing room last week during dress rehearsal. I don't think it bothered him much ;)

field day!  

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

Kate's field day was this morning at preschool and Hank and I stopped by for a little while to see a few of the games and take some pictures.






Wiped out! She asked to take a nap.
Actually, she's been napping way more than usual, and sleeping late in the mornings, too. I think she's 1. in a growth spurt?  2. not sleeping as well at night because her seasonal allergies are making it hard for her to breathe :(

v's kindergarten program  

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

Vivian's class did a showcase of the songs they've learned in music class this year. Cute 5 and 6-year-olds!
 This kid sat here for all of 10 seconds, and then it was a matter of all hands on deck (Papa and Gramme were there!) to help control his volume and level of distraction to everyone around. Thankfully there were a lot of little ones in the crowd so we weren't the only ones with a busy toddler.
 This face...ahhhh
 Kate sat up front to get a good view of her sister.




 I am looking forward to getting to know all of these classmates over the next 12 years! :)

our little ballerinas  

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

We have been busy the last few days with the Peter Pan ballet! 
We are so proud of Vivian and Kate...they did great...big smiles, no cold feet or anxiety, kept up with the choreography, and oh so precious! 
On Friday afternoon before the rehearsal, we went by a salon that our friend works at to do a trial run for their hair. I didn't feel confident in my ballet bun-making abilities, especially with Kate's hair being so short, so I asked for help!

 I took these pictures because I was so thankful for great big sisters who make it their goal, joyfully, to entertain the toddler brother who is getting frustrated about being stuck in a stroller...with his favorite songs. Right now it's "Where is Thumbkin?"

 Success! Thanks Samantha!

 And today was the ballet at the Jefferson Center. Uncle Joey, Aunt Natasha, cousin Olivia, and our friend Stephanie joined us to watch.
 Kate was a little fairy and she danced with Tinker Bell. Vivian was a bluebird and did her dance with Wendy, John, and Michael.



 I couldn't pick between all of these posed pictures so they're all here!









 Olivia did awesome during the two hour performance!


Great memories from today...so thankful for healthy girls who love to twirl and gallop and spin and take bows and melt my heart! 
Ballet is an enjoyable thing for us in this season of life with these girls. I am loving the time each week during their classes to sit with and get to know other moms or moms I'm already close with, and Hank loves all the attention he gets in the waiting room from all of the older ballerinas, and of course V and K love every part of it! The performance today was really special for us!

muffins for mom

Vivian invited me to her class this morning for a Mother's Day celebration. Everything about it was so sweet.
I brought my two little sidekicks.

Thank you, Mrs. Parks, for treating us! And thank you sweet Vivian Gray, for all my gifts!
