I did Chey Chey's hair too.

Let's go dance!

Our sweet sweet sweet girl. I just love our ballerina.

Flowers from Daddy. A job well done.

Thanks Daddy! These moments always make me tear up.

Look at all our flowers.

Love her.

Dancing Queens at Dairy Queen.

Ice cream for a beautiful job.

Levi and Oliver stayed with Megan. There weren't enough tickets for everyone! They limited the tickets sold due to the growth of their dance company. Levi LOVES Megan. He asked for her all day, cried when she left, and still talks about her and how much fun they had. He told Oliver that she was his best friend. :)

The recital was amazing! The opening show was absolutely impressive. They had all teachers and everyone K and up dance together. They were in the Ilse dancing and it felt like we were watching a Broadway show.

Marki Lyn's Spring Recital Video

I Marki is suppose to be in the middle of the screen but blogger cuts her out in part of this video. You can click on this link to see the whole video in all it's glory at youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RBmGkC0UAU She is the beautiful dancer in the beautiful blond curls. :)

Soccer Party

Marki hosted a pizza party this evening for her soccer team. Of course with my busy day I forget the camera. The kids had a lot of fun playing. Mark and I will miss everyone. Hopefully we can stay in contact and make some playdates. We really had fun coaching and hope to do it next spring!

I now present to you the graduation class of 2010

Mrs. Tracey and Marki Lyn. Here she is. All beautiful and sweet and graduated.
Marki, Mrs. Arisa, and Lee.

Waiting to get their diplomas.

Oliver. Heeheehee. I love this boy.

This picture cracks me up.

So sweet. Hahaha. While these fools are celebrating a preshool graduation I am plotting to take over the world. Muah hahaha. And mom, don't eat my cookie.

Levi was such a helper. I was looking around for him and found him folding chairs after graduation and putting them away.

Work ethic like his daddy.

Ever since Marki was able to speak she has wanted to be a doctor. Looks like she wants to be a french doctor.

Levi wants to be a fireman.

Thank you Arisa and Tracey for being the best preschool teachers ever. My children absolutely love you both and Marki will miss you dearly. Thank goodness I still have many years with you ladies left!

Soccer Trophy

Daddy and I enjoyed coaching you this year! We are so proud of you!

The cool balloon lady

While eating out at Applebee's last week a woman approached us and asked the kids if they wanted some balloon animals. We totally expected the usual balloon animals but this lady did the most awesome balloon animals EVER! It was amazing the balloons she made. She also did little finger puppets. She does birthday's and the kids want her to come. Marki approached and told her she would love it if she came to her birthday. Here are the balloons she did for our kido's.

Levi's fishing pole complete with a fish.
Marki got a flower with a lady bug on it. She also got a lady bug hand puppet.

Levi got a turtle hand puppet.

Sweet Marki Lyn

Magic is in the air....

Saturday, Levi's best bud Brandon had his 4th Birthday party. He had a magician to entertain the kids followed by running in the sprinklers. Happy Birthday Brandon!

We had root beer floats while we waited for the magician to set up.
Yummy

Magic is happening.

Levi got to be an assistant. I loved watching his face during the show. It was priceless.

Levi trying to find the monkey. The magician gave Brandon a feather from his bird and told him it would turn into a dollar bill in the morning, glaring at the parents to make sure they understood, and Irene collected some more feathers for all the kids. Marki and Levi were super excited when their feathers turned into dollar bills too!

The girls.

The boys.

The magician also made them balloon yo yo's. They were a big hit.

Levi was really excited to give Brandon his gift of a remote control 4 wheeler. He really wanted to give Brandon his remote control motorcycle because he knew Brandon loved to play with it when he came over. He is too sweet. I did talk him into keeping his toy and buying Brandon a new one.Ollipop. Resting after a rootbeer float.

Your party was super fun Brandon! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

T-Ball

Marki seems do love t-ball and she does really well with it. She hits the ball off the tee pretty far and is one of the best hitters. (If I may brag, Marki and Levi are two of the best hitters :)) Levi has always been a super hitter and we have been working with him running bases. He didn't want to run them at all but we learned that with a little bribery ;) we could get him to do anything. He now runs the bases like a pro and is the only one who can catch a grounder right after the ball has been hit. It is so cute. He catches the ball and instead of throwing to first he shows everyone the ball he caught and is proud as a peacock. He caught the ball 4 times in a row. When he is in outfield he is right by his friend Harlee. They are too cute. Last year it was Marki and Chandler flirting and this year it is Levi and Harlee. Here are some cute pictures of them.

Lee and Harlee.

Marki forgot her hat and had to look into the sun. I couldn't get many pictures of her without a scrunch face. :) Here is my third baseman for this inning.

More pictures of an awesome birthday party and Marki's dance picture day to come!!!!!

My Mother's Day Outing

This year for my mother's day drive we went up in the mountains. It was a beautiful day filled with all my favorite things....my babies and my hubby! Also, some stops for my favorite treats along the way. We ended the day by having dinner with Dave, Irene, and their kidos.

Here are some pictures from our day.

Thank you babies for making me the happiest momma in the whole world. You are the sweetest most wonderful kids a momma could ask for. Thank you for my flowers you made out of your hands at preschool. They are beautiful! Levi, you were so excited to give me the pin that said, "Super Mom" and Marki you gave me a "Best Mom Ever" pin. I love you guys.

Thank you Mark for being my partner in crime and helping me raise these sweet angles. I couldn't do it without you! I love you.

Thank you for all of my gifts!
