Don't Fall Asleep!!

On May 9th Sarah and Kali had National Dance Competition at Lagoon. Sarah and Kali both took friends with them. It was a lot of fun. The motel was overbooked, so our room got upgraded, and it had a jacuzzi in it, and Kali loved it.
Sarah and McKenna used the jacuzzi to brush their teeth with the bathroom was busy.

This is one of Kali's favorite rides, THE SCRAMBLER.

This is Sarah the Zombie. She had to dress like this for one of her dances, she did three dances that day, and Kali did one. They both did really well, Kali got first in hers, and Sarah got two firsts and a second, and the Powerhouse got an overall trophy. Sarah and her friends did the Zombie dance at 8:00 p.m. and then they went and rode the rides in their zombie costumes. People's reactions to them was pretty funny, especially when they went to Dracula's castle.




Once there was a snowman...


For Easter we went to my Mom & Dad's house. We planned on warm weather, going to the sand dunes, and the gater farm. What we got was snow all day on Easter. It was still lots of fun. It always is at Grandma & Grandpa's house, no matter what the weather. Grandma had to make cookies becsause we ate them all and Dalton loved them, so Alex and Dalton had to help her. Dalton loved the cookie dough so much he had to stick his head all the way to the bottom of the bowl to lick the cookie dough out of the bottom.


You've heard that when life gives you lemons, make lemonade...well when it snowed all day on Easter, Dalton, Casey and I made a snowman. We didn't have winter clothes, after all it was April, as a matter of fact, Dalton wore sandals on his feet and socks on his hands. Our snowman didn't last too long, it fell down not too long after it was built. We blamed that on Casey, but Dalton was impressed, and we had a great time. Thanks Mom and Dad for the good times and all the good memories.

Cinderella Ballet

This is Emily, Malarie and Kali at the ballet. Emily and Malarie are Kali's best friends. Malarie is taking ballet also, but Emily in not...she came with us to watch Malarie and Kali.

This past weekend was "The Cinderella Ballet". Kali and Sarah both took ballet this year for the first time. Kali loved it from the beginning, but Sarah didn't. Her teacher told he if she would take it for one year she would learn to love it. A couple of weeks ago, Sarah told me she wanted to take ballet again...she loves it now. Sarah's goal is to take it for three years so she can get point shoes.

Happy Birthday Kali Elizabeth

On March 29th was Kali's birthday. She turned the big 11 this year. Dalton of course had to help her blow out her candles. She got a bike for her birthday, and yesterday she wrecked and skinned her elbow all up.
