Lilly's latest photo shoot

Here are Lilly's two year pictures. Aunt Heidi did a great job once again! Thanks Heidi!!

Spring Dance Recital

Recital time again! The girls love to get dressed up and dance on the big stage! Avery even likes getting the makeup on! For Kate, however, that's one of the worst parts of being a ballerina!! The dreaded EYE MAKEUP!!









Katelyn is really getting quite graceful. She is getting better and better. Her teacher says that she has all the technique down, now she just needs to work on her confidence level. She KNOWS the steps, but she doesn't KNOW that she KNOWS the steps! :)














Avery loves every aspect of ballet. She does great too! She had to be put in a class one year above her age level this year because of scheduling conflicts, but she kept up with the "bigger" girls just fine! She has officially decided that she will be a ballerina just like Miss Jessica when she grows up!

Just the Girls

Poor daddy. He is hopelessly outnumbered. With all the females in this house, it's a wonder he hasn't yet lost his mind. But us girls have a lot of fun together. And if he didn't have girls, who would tell him how nice his tie looked or what a great haircut he just got! Little girls give the best hugs and cuddles too! As soon as he walks through the door at the end of the day, he immediately hears "DADDY!!" times 3 and the running of feet to see who can get to him first. So yes, while there are a whole lot of hormones running through this house, I think think he's pretty lucky too! :)

Lilly turns two!!!

Can you believe it's been two years? She's getting so big and talking up a storm!! Everyday she says a new word that we didn't know she knew!
















Here is Lilly with her loot. She loves everything she got, but Big Bird was by far her favorite! He's her new sleeping buddy, and we don't go anywhere without Buh-Bur now!!












She loved picking the skittles off her cake!













MOM!! Enough with the pictures already!!


















Anybody want some?

Here comes Katelyn Cottontail?

Katelyn was THRILLED when Aunt Heather asked if she would like to play the part of the Easter Bunny for our family egg roll this year. (Okay, so she looks more like Bugs Bunny, but we won't tell her that!!)















The hardest part was to keep her from hopping all the way to the party. Yes, those are real eggs in that basket! She managed to make it downstairs without breaking any eggs!

Look ma! Two wheels!

Mom and Dad decided that it was time for Kate to learn to ride a bike without training wheels. Here's Dave giving her the pep talk.











We started on the grass so that if she fell it wouldn't hurt so bad.
















After a few minutes on the grass, she decided that she was ready for the sidewalk! She was nervous the first few times, but she's doing great now and loving the freedom of two wheels!! :)

Christmas Photo Shoot 2007

Our annual photo shoot with Heidi didn't go as well as we had hoped this year between the cold and Lilly being uncooperative, but Heidi still managed to get some great shots!!










Kate and Avery were being so sweet! They kept taking turns hugging each other and telling Heidi to take their picture.

Lilly being thoroughly uncooperative! :)
