Brynley's Preschool picnic!

Brynley's Preschool Picnic

It's hard to believe that Brynley's first year of preschool is already over! She absolutely loves school! Her teachers (Mrs. Volz and Ms. Missy) are just the best, all 4 of our girls have attended this particular montessori preschool. They tell me that we hold the record for the most siblings from one family to attend there. :)

Puddle Prance (not Riverdance)

Bridget felt inspired by the music at Silverwood- here's her impromtu dance:

Sometimes it's just hard to hold your feet still! (or your bum for that matter!)

Do we look mean or what??

At our soccer practice today, I finally remembered to bring in my camera. We had a great time! This is only about half of the girls on our team- I'll post another pic when we get everyone! You'll notice how bulky our muscles are looking and how mean our faces are.....well at least most of us. Parri and Melinda just may not have it in them to be mean! j/k... Our first game is next Thursday--just over a week away! I hope we survive....

Carnival Skittles???

Have you seen these? We came across these "limited edition" skittles at Silverwood! In case you can't read the flavors, they are:

• cotton candy


• red licorice


• green slushy


• candy apple


• bubble gum

They were all actually really good, keep your eye out for them! :)

Silverwood on Memorial Day!

If any of you haven't been yet, Silverwood Theme Park in Coeur D'Alene Idaho is a great place! We spent the weekend at our cabin on Lake Coeur D'Alene and despite the flooding that has been going on there, it was still beautiful, peaceful and relaxing. Except for the part where we got a flat tire and had to call AAA! Lucky for us the flat didn't occur until we arrived safely at the cabin and we found it the next morning. Tom and Dad went golfing at Circling Raven and had a great time. Neither was thrown from the golf cart (despite their best efforts) and they lost enough balls that they said they couldn't count them! So, apparently Tiger Woods is still safe! We saw Indiana Jones and were thoroughly disappointed :( I mean c'mon......ALIENS?????!! Anyhow, here are some of the pics from Silverwood!

93 degrees baby!

Swimming, BBQ and go karts were the fare of the day on Friday and Saturday-- according to the news, it has never hit over 90 degrees in May here before! Well, we deserve it because this summer has been awfully slooooooow coming. Jack and Grant were kind enough to let the girls try out their new go karts (after a few crashes they learned the dynamics of gas vs. brake pedal and were all grinning ear to ear--the only exception being Baylee, she accidentally burned her arm on the engine :( Hence why there's no pic of Baylee on the go kart ) We immediately took her to Paije's Burn Care Center and we got her all fixed up. Thankfully Grandma was all prepared with her trusty first aid kit--preparedness really does pay! Good thing she's a tough girl! It was a doozey!

Saturday morning before swimming, Tom took the girls on a daddy/daughter date to see the new Narnia movie---what a great dad! They had a wonderful time and didn't even end up with tummy aches from popcorn and candy!

Baylee learned to do a handstand in the water and Bridget learned to dive! Big news!

Here's Baylee's handstand: I don't know why, but it inserted at the TOP of the page--maybe someday I'll get this down! Have a great week everyone!
