Addison had her last recital for the year and she did such a great job!  She really is going to be a great little dancer.  She is making the switch over to Synergy and going to try out for the competition team.  This will be fun with her and Mckaela doing it this next year!  

So Addison graduated from preschool, well kind of...she misses the dead line by three days so she has to do preschool one more year but this past year all her little friends were all in the same class together so after talking with Miss Amy we thought she could handle being in the pre-K class and she has done so good, she really could be ready to head off to Kindergarten.  But sadly she has to stay back and watch all her friends move on:(  But she still was included in this fun day!  We love Magic Moments and Miss Amy!

All these cute kids live in the neighbor and have been friends since we moved here.

Father-son campout

Blue and Gold Banquet!  Since I am in scouts we had to plan this fun event and so we came up with the idea to do Angry Birds.  The boys LOVED it!  It was a fun night:)

Cake decorating contest! 

Some really cool cakes!!!

Competition begins!  For two months Mckaela is busy with Competitions and her team rocked this year!  They are sooooo fun to watch and have been getting better every year!  I love watching Mckaela dance.  This next year she will be doing a solo...we are nervous but she is super excited:)

Wow! I just caught up on like the past 5months! I don't know if people even look at this anymore but here it is for the two that do:)

Pinewood Derby

Who knew that the pinewood derby was such a big deal to these boys??? Now that I am in scouts (that's a whole nother story)I get what all the fuss is about and Brendan was soooo excited to be able to build his car and race it. It took a while for him and Ryan to finally put it together but they did a great job on it.

Starting the car.
putting the pieces together.
All the different cars! The boys really did a great job on them. (Brendan's is the 3rd car form the left.)

He was very proud of his car.

Putting the car on the track.
waiting...
this race he took 1st:)
he didn't win a trophy but he was still happy with how his car did!

Valentines

I really don't go all out for Valentines but I do want the day to be fun for the kids but this year they acted like it was going to be Christmas. They woke up a couple times during the night and was just so excited to see what we had gotten them! So glad that a Jumba juice gift card, new shirt and some treats can get them that excited!




Daddy went and got our favorite doughnuts...Dunfords...and they were shaped as hearts:)
They had to make their own V-boxes and Mckaela was so proud of how hers turned out...she says she will use it every year:)

Thought Mckaela would be to big to having matching shirt with her sister but she thought it was pretty cute:)
Valentines night Ryan's parents took the kids so we could go out and they had their own little party with heart shaped pizza and sparkling cider, decorating cookies and a movie. They had a fun night! I will post pics when I get them.

Jan 14th A big Day

Ryan's sister Kellie got married and it was just a beautiful day and wedding. (They got engaged in Disneyland when we went in November)
The happy couple...Joe and Kellie Hubbard





Mckaela caught the kids bouquet. She was super excited:)

The wedding colors were: Navy blue, silver and slate blue... not the easiest to find!!!
