Our Prima Ballerina!

Lorelei started ballet. She LOVES it. The teacher (Mr. Rogers) is great. He is silly and doesn't expect the girls to be serious in the pre ballet class. The learn ballet terms but in a fun way. They play and dance with ribbons and at the last class they were all given one minute to dance all by themselves. Lorelei was a little timid at first and kept running over to me, but at the last class she only came over once. One of these days I am sure I will be allowed to sit in lobby with the other mommies.
The studio is a little dark so the pictures aren't great, but she still looks cute.
(Sarah, I only got her to pose for the ones at the bottom because I would told her I would post them so Isaac could see them so make sure he sees them)


They are suppose stand on there leg for a count of 5. Mr. Rogers counts like this 1...2....3...4...4...4..4....4......4.

Wrestle Maina!!!

I swear my kiddos LOVE each other, but lately they are always wrestling! As you will see in the pictures Sagen is usually "winning". You can also see that they are laughing so MOST of the time we just let them play. You know cause like mom always use to say " It is all fun and games until someone gets hurt".




They begin!


Sagen takes control!


Victory smile!

Easter!

Sagen and Lorelei were both very into Easter this year. They loved dying and searching for eggs, they loved hanging out with their cousins and the LOVED getting all that candy. Sagen was very interested in the Easter Bunny himself. He kept saying "Bunny HOP HOP!"

Hunting for eggs at Grandma and Grandpa's house.


Lorelei is a great egg hunter I think she may have found the most eggs out of all of the kiddos!

Zoo 2!

Over spring break (4/6-4/10) we met some friends at the zoo! It was a really nice day. The kids had a blast. Afterwards, we went to lunch. I got up to take Lorelei to the bathroom and Sagen started to cry. Brian was done eating so he took Sagen out to the car. Sagen was so mad, stubborn and tired that he cried until he threw up! That was NOT the end to the day that we wanted!

Hair Cut!

Today I took Lorelei to get her hair cut. Her grandma cut a little bit of last summer, but this time I took her to a salon to get her hair shaped. My mom could have done it but I wanted to have a cute photo op! She got a certificate for her 1st haircut which I changed it so it says "1st PRO haircut."

I of course took a lot of pictures. At the bottom are the before and after shots. You can't really tell in the front.



Waiting for her turn.



Showing where she got her hair cut.

Addict

Sagen is addicted to his pacis. Here is the proof!


We will eventually take them away from him, but not TOO soon!

Soccer

Lorelei is playing soccer this year. She loves the practices and saying that she is a soccer player. She didn't like the game to much though. I think all of the kids on the field intimidated her She made me stay on the field with her. It was still pretty fun though.
Cutie getting ready!


Team meeting.


Mama plays too!
