Kite Flying

Up, Up, Up, and Away! It was "turn your T.V. off" week. So the city had fun things planned each night for families to be able to do. This was my kids first time to fly kites and they did awesome! Anthony picked a "Spider man" kite (are you shocked?), and Lexie picked "Barbie".Anthony flew his kite like a big boy all by himself for about 15 minuets until his interest diverted to the slide.
It was the perfect windy day for kites!
Now, Alexis put all the rest of us to shame. She got her kite up right away and kept it up in the air for about 40 min. and asked me to hold it for her real quick and as soon as I was holding it, I crashed it twice. So let's just say Alexis is a natural.
Go Alexis!
Well an explanation is in order as to why you don't see any pics of Allison. She decided to talk back to Mommy and fight with Anthony so she got this fun privilege taken away and had to stay home with Daddy. Sorry Allie I hope you can come next time.

Alexis is special

Alexis has been having fun playing outside (on those rare warm days) with friends.
Alexis with preschool friend Kaitlyn. The kids can ride the princess jeep for hours.
At preschool it was Alexis' turn to be the special kid of the day. So we were asked to bring a few pictures and a couple things that reminded us of her, so I chose a pair of high heels, make-up, and nail polish because that is all she wants to do everyday!
You look so cute Sweetie! Keep up the good work!

1st Grade

Monday mornings are always fun because I get to go parent-help in Allison's first grade class. I go for about an hour and a half and then get to walk Allison out to recess when I leave. So I couldn't help taking a few pictures of how cute she looked today. I am so proud of how well she is applying herself in school. Allison is working so hard to be the best reader she can be and it is definitely paying off. Keep up the good work Allison.

Anthony's First Shave

WOW! How does he know what to do?

Did I miss a spot? How do I look?

Like a PRO! Good Job Anthony.
