Start of Spring Break!

This is how Adriana began her spring break week.....with snow :( I thought that since our spring break was so late this year, we might actually have a nice one! I'm guessing I was wrong! Oh well, I guess we'll make the most with what we have! It was a beautiful snow!
Here is the view of our backyard from our deck.....

The snow dog had a good time playing in it!

And of course the kids had a great time playing in it as well!






Here's to hoping for better days so we can do some fun things this week!!!!

Sock hop dance!

Every year our girlscout neighborhood puts on a sock hop dance for the girls. Adriana always looks forward to it and has such a great time. Luckily the outfit MawMaw got Adriana still fit this year, including the shoes!
Adriana all dressed up and ready to go....


Some pictures of Adriana with her friends at the sock hop.....lots of fun had by all!






It was a great time and we can't wait to go back next year!

Disney on Ice!

A friend in our playgroup was able to get Disney on Ice tickets for everyone for a great price so my mom and I decided to take Joey to see it. The older two are involved in lots of activities, and Joey is just a tag along so we decided to make a special day for him while the older two are in school.
The tickets Amanda got us were awesome! I've never sat so close to a show before!
Here is the excited boy before the show began!

I took about 30 pictures of the show, but I'm not going to bore you all with putting them on the blog so I will just put a few.
Here is the Lion King......

The Little Mermaid....

A very excited little boy!!!!

Peter Pan.....


After the show was over, my mom let Joey pick out a souvenier. He picked out a pair of binoculars and has played with them everyday since!

It was a great time, and so nice to just spend time with Joey. I think he enjoyed it too!

Girlscout camp Cedarledge!

A couple of weeks ago Adriana went to Camp Cedarledge with her girlscout troop and a 4th grade girlscout troop. It was perfect weather and the girls all had a blast.
A funny sign they have there.....

While there, the girls were able to do so many fun things. A few of the things are archery....

Adriana's troop leader, Bev, also partipating in archery.

The game win it in a minute with many fun things to do in a minute. This one consisted of the girls balancing dice on a stick in their mouth.

Lots of time to explore and just have fun outside.

Adriana and her buddy for the day.

This was a brick that had Adriana's troop leader's name on it.

This is the girls that came from Adriana's troop.

Adriana's troop plus the 4th grade troop.

All the girls on the bridge.

More exploring in a creek.

Fun playing on a tire.

It was a great time for the girls! On the way there Adriana asked me why I go to everything with her because most of the girls didn't have their moms with them. I asked her if she wanted me to go with her and she said yes so I told her thats why I spend so much time with her. Then she replied "I think its just cause you like to take lots of pictures!" Well that too, lol! She knows me too well!

Adriana's PE pep assembly!

Every year the PE teacher, Mrs. Burton, works with each class on a dance for the PE pep assembly. Last year Adriana did a father/daughter dance with her daddy. This year Adriana's class danced to the song "hey, hey we're the monkey's" which is a very appropriate song since her class is dominated with boys! I love watching this assembly! Each class from kindergarten to 8th grade performs which ranges to a bunch of kids standing around (kindergarten) to the group of kids doing a light show which is amazing (8th grade). Have I ever mentioned how much I love this school and all the kids! At the end they even allowed all the parents to come out and dance. Fortunately there was no pictures of the momma making a fool of herself :) It was a very fine time!
Here is a few pictures of Adriana with her class.....

Monster truck show!

I almost forgot about posting pictures of the monster truck show....that would be bad. We were able to go to the show the Saturday before Chris started his treatments so it was a treat for the whole family! This was even Chris' first monster truck show....ever!!!!! He didn't get to go last year because it was the same night as the father/daughter dance.
This year we also got pit passes so we could see the trucks up close. I had no idea that in order to do this you would have to stand in a very long line to do this. So we found a few that we were able to get close to without standing in line.


This year we brought my nephew again who loves the monster trucks as much as my boys do! Even Adriana really enjoyed it!
Andrew before the show!

Andrew and Jacob being serious!

Thats more like these two boys!

Daddy and his boys plus one!

Miss Adriana!

Joey LOVED the trucks and is still talking about them more than a month later!


Here is my boys favorite truck....the crane digger as they like to call it!



We had an awesome time and it was a wonderful way to spend the evening before the busy month ahead of us. I already have the tickets for next year and can't wait to go again!!!!
