The girls' FROZEN Birthday

AC's bday at school:)

AM's actually bday in March:)

 We went ice skating...

 And then to the Rain Forest Cafe...

AC's 4th bday

It was a super fancy tea party...Thanks pinterest.

As the ladies arrived, the colored tea pots:)

I also did a thing where they had to find some tea bags that I had hidden in the living room.

Gramma made the tea sandwiches...they're really called that.

Angel:)

I love making B hold babies...he likes them too, but just doesn't want to pay for their college.

Did I miss Christmas?

Nope:)

Here are the girls at AC's dance recital!!

They made a leaf pile to jump in.

Here is AC at her Christmas Chapel.

 And her Christmas school party:)

Then, we went to AM's party:)

Then we ran back and forth from AM's to Mr. C's:)  This guy is really coming into his own.  He is funny and he knows it.  I read online today that boys are goofy by nature, so it's okay.  He does so well at school and has notably excelled at his Spanish spelling word.

I took this selfie to capture my red hair do... Why is the word selfie being underlined like it's misspelled?  Selfie is totes a word...in fact I believe it was the word of the year.  weird.

Stella is so weird:)  She loves to sleep.

Swim Team

This year we decided to try swim team.  The kids have really excelled:)  It is a huge time commitment as practice is everyday from 4:30-6:30, but it has been fun.  They seem to enjoy it and are noticeably more tired at night.

AM in her new suit from Gramma:)

 AC working her goggles:)

and sporting one of her MANY suits.  She has so many since she gets all the hand me downs!



We are the fighting frog therefore we wear a bunch of green...Here is AM.



We have really only been to one meet...There is a lot of waiting around for your event.  It is all new to me, but you have to be there at 7am to "warm up", but then your event might not be for a couple hours...


CMJ and his goggles:)


We found some ways to entertain ourselves.  C is in a a zen state balancing the foil ball we made on his head...


They even have a little spirit yelling before the swimming begins.


So, as it turns out, AC is very young for swimming in meets.  She was actually the only one in the "tadpoles" class that coach asked to attend the meet.  It took her 7 min 31 seconds to make it the 25 m of the pool.  Which means she shaved a minute or so off her time trials time.  She just holds on the lane rope and puts her head underwater ever foot or so.


It was so sweet at the meet because that's AM trying to help her and tell her what to do.  She was showing her the how to do freestyle.  She is a great big sister:)

Dance Recital 2013

This is AC's first year in dance and she is getting so good:)  Here she is waiting for her performance.

Afterwards, she comes and sits with us.  We were sooooo proud of her...

She was much improved from her Christmas performance:)  She really does have excellent balance.

AM and her BFF from dance:)

4 girls were gone and I think it caused some confusion:(  They did a great job though.





Here is C's dance recital:)
