Dance Recital Day! (6/25/11)

Our little prima ballerinas are all dolled up and ready to dance their hearts out for the recital!
Goobers started sleeping in the sinks. We don't know if it's more supportive, cooler, relief from flea bites, or what, but he enjoys a good sink.
The girls found an old baby bib and put it on Goobers like a bandanna.
Auntie Ginger came to watch the girls dance and we're all in the van on our way to Woodbridge High School!
The WHS kiosk announced the dance recital!
BFF's Paige Roden and Luella giving hugs before the long wait until their performance.
Kati is all dressed up and just waiting to go on stage.
Molly Schroer and Kati get a duet at the age of TWO!
Luella posing just before going on to perform her ballet routine.
Posing with Kati, who was finished with her dance, but didn't want to go back into the audience.
The girls mostly smiling with their nervous tension.
Now the girls are giving Kyla the look that they've had enough with the pictures.
Kati started posing waiting for Luella's class to go on stage.
At the end of the show, the girls danced in the finale. Kati is holding Jenna Owen's hand, waiting for the balloons to drop from the ceiling.
The girls had SO MUCH FUN!!!!! dancing today! We didn't get a great video of Luella dancing her heart out in the back. They can't wait for next year!
Kristin and Francis Larsen came to watch the girls dance and we all went out for ice cream after the recital! Thank you for supporting the girls! We didn't get a picture with Mrs. Karen Stokes, the preschool director, as she came to watch the girls perform too.
One great part of having so many supporters come, they all gave the girls flowers! They smell wonderful!
Mrs. Stokes brought the lilies from her yard!
No one felt like cooking, so we ordered Chinese! We have a vegetarian vampire!
Later that night, we went out to catch fireflies. The bugs didn't really want to light up in the closet.

KIDS!

Luella picked out her own outfit. She was cold, so long sleeves and pants. Then she was hot, so flip-flops. She loves her hat, so that worked in her mind too. Katja just looking cute, so had to take her picture too! Bath time for the girls and Luella decided that making Katja's hair stick straight up means she's a boy. We really don't know where she gets this from! Sorry if you're offended by the baby nudity/ inadvertent mooning.

Tim plays Army in WV.

Image
This is the Center for National Response. It's right off I-70 in West Virginia. It was part of the interstate, but the tunnel thru the mountain was too difficult for the state to maintain , so they let people train in there. They can make it rain, blow wind up to 40 mph, fires, explosions, all kinds of awesome training. Here's Tim's company at the entrance to the tunnel. Tim was playing Army while we were hosting Ginger before her big move. Tim and April Miller - team leaders discussing their missions from the day. Tim and his company commander, MAJ Alex Lovase discussing football, or something. Take cover! They have paintball gun attachments to their weapons so you can see where you got hit. One of the missions was to rappel down this hill... Then wade thru this tunnel for 1/4 mile in icy cold water to get to the objective site... As you can see, it was a really long day. Tim was the commander for this mission. The Soldiers had to traverse thru a collapsed tunnel....

Early Birthday Celebrations! (8/6/11)

Kyla found Goobers sleeping on Kati's diaper changing table this morning. He was so cute laying there, Kyla had to get the girls in on a the picture too. We decided to spend this Saturday afternoon celebrating Kati's birthday. We went to see Cars 2 in the movie theater. It was cute, but like most sequels, the original was better. Kati had a coupon for a free meal to Famous Dave's. It came with a Roman candle! Look at the shocked expression on her face with the BIG CANDLE! Kati tried to blow out her candle, but it just wouldn't stop! Luella on the other end of the flames wondered if she really needed her eyebrows! This kid loves her ice cream! Happy early 3rd birthday Katja Johanna!
