Science Fair

Sydney did her project on a Volcano with her friend Angel. It was cold, raining, and snowing the day they tested all their experiences but they still had lots of fun doing it and they did a great job!

The loved the Mentos in the Pepsi! :)

Spring Break in Seattle

We got to visit Tara & Tamara in Seattle for Spring Break. It was so nice to see them and get out of town for a few days. Even though it pretty much rained on us the whole weekend, we still had fun!

This is the Columbia Building, which is the tallest building in Seattle; and actually the 84th tallest building in the the world, and the 20th in the US! (I'm sure you wanted to know all of that), but it has 73 floors! The view was amazing! And luckily enough, we caught a little break from the rain for a spectacular view.

 You can see the Space Needle

 Both the Fields

 Here you can kind-of see how high it really is.... Brooky liked pushing the stroller up there.

 I love how Livia doesn't care what anyone thinks of her. She wore that mustache around and even wore it to school a few times when we got back. She thought it was so funny! I hope she always stays that way!

 Poor Brooklyn was so tired.... we drug her around everywhere! (mouth open and everythang!)

 I loved being able to hang out with my niece, Tamara. She's so fun to hang out with!

 Twinsies!!! (you know you're jealous!)

Swimming

We took the kids, and their friends, to the U of I swimming pool. It was fun and the water was a lot warmer than I remembered so Brooky liked it too. 

 They even did flips off the low diving board. They wanted to try the high dive, which I would have loved to see, but it was closed for lap swim. Maybe next time. :)

Sydney's Basketball Season

 Sydney has had a GREAT basketball season. It was really a big confidence building season with her because she is one of the few 2nd graders on her team; thus taller and stronger (and slightly more experienced) than the first graders, so she has done really well. She is the high scorer almost every game, and she plays amazing defense! Plus there are only 6 girls on their team, so she gets a lot of play/practice time. This next week is her last week, but I have LOVED watching her play ball! 

Notice all the pink everywhere and matching pink socks on Syd's team... :) They are called "The Pink Ladies" so the coach encourages them to wear pink! It's cute, but funny.  

I thought this picture was funny of Brooklyn. I try my best to entertain her, and keep her off the court, which is the hard part. She wants to go play ball with "Nay Nay"! :)

Livia's Spelling Bee

Livia was able to attend her schools spelling bee. There were 48 kids total, and Livia made it through the 4th round. When she got out there were 14 kids left. She got out on the word lullaby. She accidentally said lo instead of lu. She did very well though, we are so proud of her! :)

 

Girls' Photo Shoot

We took a mini photo shoot of the girls, just for fun. These are my favorite pictures. Brooklyn has become quite the poser and she was really hamming it up in some of the pictures. It was hilarious!!

 

 

Forgotten Photos

I forgot that we had uploaded this gallery into Lightroom, so I thought I would post my favorite pictures, even though it's not Christmas anymore. Mike was playing around with his camera stuff and lighting; while taking pics of his parents while they were with us over the Christmas weekend.
