Danielle's Kindergarden Ceelebration!!!

Last Wednesday was a big day for my Danielle! she finished her kindergarden program and now she is ready to start first grade next year. She was so ready to be done with school, the last two weeks were eternally long for her. Getting up it was a challenge and she would cry when I was going to leave the classroom. Despite all the drama she would always have a great day at school. I think the last month was particularly hard for her because Charles went back to night shift, so the days he was off she wanted to stay home and spent time with her daddy. Now she is a happy camper, no more school no more getting up early or going to bed early ( so she thinks) and it is sunny and warm outside! Here are some pictures of that great day!

Mrs. Stihler ( Danielle's teacher) is turning her into a first grader!!!

Enjoying a last lunch with her classmate!

Standing in line to go up the stage! she wanted to wear this beautiful dress that we got her for Easter, well it was actually to go to the daddy and daughter ball, but Charles couldn't take her because the only person who could cover his shift wouldn't do it lol.

Danielle with Mrs. Sithler and Miss Liz

Just waiting for her turn to come!

While all these was going on I was wrestling with Sydney to keep her quite she cried the whole time . Good thing was there for a bit to see Danielle and helped me out while I took a few pictures. Wholly Molly Sydney made that day so hard on me even then I try to stay calm and not ruin my sweet daughter celebration. I love you Danielle !!!

Chena Hot Spring/Spring break

Last weekend we went to Chena Hot Spring Resort which is located about 1 hour and a half from our house! It is such a beautiful place the combination of the hot spring with the snow on the ground makes the place very very beautiful! The girls we so excited and so did we! As a couple Charles and I got to enjoy a nice marriage seminar. The Chaplan in Charles' unit was the organizer and he did such a great job in giving every body information about how to strength a marriage. As a family, we were able to enjoy different activities with including the swimming at the indoor pool and the Ice museum! here are some pictures of it!

Little Sydney enjoying some time out side again the weather was perfect only 20 F ( let me tell you after months of negative this feels like summer)

Ice park 2011

The week of my birthday was so nice and warm (only 10f)! It was the perfect weather to go to ice park, so we went every day of that week that Charles had off! Sydney did not like wearing gloves, but she picked up really quick how fun it is to be outside! Oh my gosh it was just great specially the slides. The sculpture were just amazing! Sydney felt sleep couple of time on the sled so we jput her in a sleeping bag and let it take her nap while Sophia and Danielle went up and down the slides! Bottom line is I could live here if the weather was like this every winter. here are some pictures of it!

I dress up the whole family on Christmas eve hoping that we could get a family picture, but it did not happen the kids took turn taking a nap and then it was too late we had to leave.

December! 2010

Wow I have not realized that I have not posted something since August! it has been quite of an adjustment for me to have Danielle in School and to deal with all of my others duties.

Before I realized December came! and due to Sydney getting sick, Charles being gone for 3 weeks on training and Sam's messing up my Christmas card I ended up not sending Christmas card this year! instead you will receive new years card at some point.

Here are some pictures of the girls! enjoy them

Danielle and Sophia got boots for Christmas from Gram and they love them! here is Danielle modeling them.

Little Sydney decided to walk at 10 months old , so I am busier than ever chasing her around!

This was when we decorated our Christmas tree!!! Sydney had so much fun!!!

My three princesses! I love them so much. This was my attemp to get a nice picture for my Christmas card which Sam ended up making in a mess.

Sydney is upset because Danielle is holding her! she just wants to walk
