Daddy surprised us and showed up at Abby's party with his staff!

The kids had a lot of fun going down all of the inflatable slides

Make a wish!

Puppy Love

We recently added two white German shepards to our family. They are 10 weeks old and adorable. They are so good with the kids and the kids have done really well with the responsibility of having dogs. They are brother and sister. If you have seen the Disney movie Bolt than they might seem familiar. The movie's main character "Bolt" is a white German shepard. So it seemed only right that they be named Bolt and Penny.

Bolt is in the orange collar and his ears point up where Penny is in the pink and has floppy ears.

They are really good with the kids. Even Tyson isn't afraid of them.

Ali loves the dogs and is in charge of taking care of them. She has done awesome! She puts them out every morning and then lets them back in at night. She is even really good about picking up their poop!

Swimming Lessons

We had swimming lessons this year for 2 weeks. This was the first time I didn't have to bribe someone to get in the water. I guess having a pool helps! The kids did great and even went down the slide during the party on the last day.

Nate, I love that look

Ali, going into the water.

Abby, having her teacher catch her.

Disney World 2010 ~ The After Party

We went to Disney World after the cruise and had a great time. Josh scuba dived at Epcot and the kids got makeovers at Magic Kingdom. It was so much fun

The Disney Cruise

The Disney Cruise was so AWESOME. If you have ever thought about going DO IT! Best family vaction ever!

The Girls Get a Mani/Pedi

I took the girls to get their first mani/pedi and boy did they love it! They are now asking when they can go back.

Ali is waiting her turn

Abby kept saying this was the best day ever!

Two Graduations!!!

Nate and Abby both graduated the end of May. Nate graduated from his first year at preschool and Abby from kindergarten.

Here Mrs. Aragon is bragging on Nate. He really liked the space unit so he received the astronaut award. It is amazing how much he learned in that unit. He reminds me all the time that the sun isn't a planet but a star. He even talks about the Milky Way Galaxy!

Here he is singing a song with a hand puppet.

Every year they put their hand prints on the wall. Nate's is down at the bottom. There were two Nathans so he went by Nate C. and now he gets mad if I don't put a C. when I write his name.

Here is Abby getting ready for here graduation. She is wearing a cute Starbursts lei given to her by Lana Biggs!

She loved her teacher Mrs. Talik. Ali had her also.
