On March 10th, the first grade had their "Under the Sea" program. Brynn had a few lines, and did an excellent job! She sang her little heart out as well. It was a lot of fun to watch her perform. Brynn with the fish she painted.

Brynn and her best pal Abby after the show!

Brynn right before we left for the show...she was so excited!

I decided I need to get out all these silly pictures that have been taken over the last month or so. My girls are great at being silly and coming up with funny things to entertain themselves with! Mary and Sidney dressing up crazy after watching the "why don't we just dance" video by Josh Turner.
Kelsey LOVES her babies...she is already a great little mom to them.

How funny is Kelsey in these glasses and Lucy's jean jacket?

The human head weighs 8lbs! Kelsey wearing Brynn's "fake" glasses.

Now Lucy taking a turn in the fake glasses!

Brynn is so proud...She "curled" Lucy's hair with the striaght iron.

I'm so lucky to have such cute girls! I especially love it when they get along!!!

In February the entire 3rd Grade went on an Ice Skating field trip. I was lucky enough to get to chaperone. It was a lot of fun. Mary is was so excited

California Trip...Part 3

Wednesday Corey and Jessica left, and then Katie and Boo left on Thursday morning. So it just left our family and the Mayeski family to hit Sea World on Thursday. It was only about an 1 1/2 hour drive from our condo. Sea World didn't have as much to do because it was off season (all of their rides are water rides), but we had a great time seeing the animal shows...which is the whole reason we wanted to go. The kids loved all the shows, and definetly experienced things they never had before.

The girls with "Shamu"
The dog trick show was very cute and a lot of fun. It almost made me consider getting a dog. Key words: almost and consider.

They thought the Sea Lion show was great...and it was. It is amazing what they can get them to do!

Of course the Shamu show was incredible, and the girls loved it. Here is our question though, ...who ever thought to do this!?! I know I'll just get in with this Killer Whale and train him to let me ride him...crazy stuff, but fun to watch!

Disneyland Trip...Part 2

Monday morning started our 3 day Disneyland/California Adventure adventure. It may sound like a lot, but it was perfect. We did everything we wanted to in both parks, and then some! Monday was all day at California Adventure, Tuesday all day at Disneyland, Wednesday hitting everyones favorites one (sometimes two) more times!

Mary's favorite rides were: Tower of Terror, California Scream'in, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, and Grizzly Rapids (even though she got soaked from head to toe)!

Brynn's favorite rides were: Soar'in Over California and Space Mountain. I talked her into Tower of Terror, and she did NOT like that one. She nicknamed it "meanie butt tower of terror!"

Lucy's favorite rides were: the Carousel, the Catepillar, and the Tea Cups. (pretty much Lucy was not worth the money)

Kelsey's favorite ride was by far the Nemo Submarine!

Kacy and I also had a great time going on the rides, big and small. We both agreed that the California Scream'in roller coaster was the most fun!

It was a ton of fun to go with the whole family. The kids loved being with their cousins and aunts and uncles, and having so many adults made it easy to trade and go on some fun rides ourselves.

We all had a great time both at Disneyland and with each other!

Almost all the of the cousins wearing their cute ears! These were fun souvenirs.

The kids loved both of the parades. This is Lucy dancing her pants of with the "purple guy" during the Disneyland parade! She really put on quite a show.

MINNIE!

MICKEY!

Silly Mary hanging from Dumbo!

Smiley Kelsey on the KC Jr. trainride!

Lucy's favorite ride...the Carousel!

Uncle Dave was a little nervous, but Kelsey and Josh loved this ride!

All the girl cousins with Tinker Bell!

The Tea Cups were a big hit with everyone...even Lucy after we finally talked her into going on them.

You can see Corey and Jessica and Colin in the background of this picture...somehow I didn't get hardly any pictures with them.

The girls in front of the Disneyland Castle

Uncle Boo and Blake on the bumper bugs!

Kelsey loved Dumbo, but we could never talk Lucy into it!

Here the girls are on the catepillar ride...this was one of Lucy's favorites...it only went 2 miles per hour and stayed on the ground!

Another exciting event that occured on our trip was Brynn loosing two teeth! We were in line for soaring over california, our first ride Monday morning, and Uncle Boo pulled out one of her teeth! Then about two minutes later, before we were even on the ride, Brynn pulled out another one! It was so cool! The tooth fairy gave her an extra bonus because loosing two teeth at Disneyland is pretty amazing!

Disneyland Trip...Part 1

Januray 29th through Feburary 5th, 2010 we had a great vacation to Southern California. Kacy, Kris, and Dave all had a confrence in San Diego the week before, so the families all joined them at the end of the week and made it a Disneyland Vacation! On Friday after school the girls and I drove down to St. George to pick up Corey, Jessica, and Colin. Saturday we caravaned down to Newport and were reunited with Kacy and all the Kilpatrick Cousins!! We were so lucky to be able to stay in some really nice time-share condos (thanks to Dave and Flur) in Newport. On Sunday we just hung out and took a fun walk down to the beach and played in the tide-pools. The kids loved it!

All the cousins at the big Newport sign - our condos were just up the hill from here.
This is the view from our room - it was so beautiful.

The kids walking down to the beach.

All the kids posed for us just before we descended to the beach.

Cute Cousins!

Everyone had so much fun at the beach looking for shells, rocks, and sea life. The kids got wet and sandy, but it so fun to see them so excited on the beach - something they rarely get to see!
