Easter

Here are the girls in their Sunday best before churh. I was going to forego the usual matching dresses this year but the girls put up a fuss. They don't like wearing dresses so we found these tops and white skirts. The best part is they can wear them on other days! We had dinner at our house and the annual Easter Egg Hunt since we have the only egg hunters left in the family! Thankfully the weather cooperated and we were able to do the hunt. We still keep finding eggs around the yard!

Jazz Game

At Taylor's new dance studio they get to perform once a year at a Jazz game. We decided to do it this year so Taylor and I went on a Saturday evening downtown to the Jazz/Nuggetts game. They performed before the game and she and I stayed and watched most of the game. The best part was the mommy, daughter time she and I got to spend together.

Mud Room Masterpiece

I had to show everyone my amazing mud room, although these pictures don't do it justice. We wanted lockers in the mud room when we built the house but we were not willing to pay what Richmond wanted so our plan was to build the lockers shortly after we moved in. Needless to say a year went by but with Brandon's amazing help, the lockers were built and I spent the rest of the weekend painting the room. I am so happy with the way it turned out and I love having all the organization space. Who would have thought that a mud room would give me such joy in life!!!!

Laura's Visit

Laura moved to Colorado last summer and decided to come out in February for a visit. We had a blast during this visit even though she left Kevin and the girls at home. We of course had to hit our favorite spot and enjoy a little Los Hermanos! My girls and Laura's boys had a great time hanging out, it is wonderful that after so long they get a chance to finally get to know each other.

Maddy's New Hair Do

Well not to be outdone by her older sisters, Maddy had to get her hair cut too! We went for the New Year holiday to Colorado to visit my parents and my sister Laura. Laura cuts hair and so the morning we left to come home Maddy got her hair chopped! She looks so cute and it is much easier for Mom to do. Now all my have the same do.

Taylor's 10th Birthday

Well Taylor did it, she is finally in the double digits! Her birthday was on December 11th and we decided to make it a small party.(or so I thought) We went out to dinner and then a movie (the girls went in their pjs and slippers) and then back to the house for a sleepover. It may be the last sleepover we have for awhile, we may just have late overs! All in all it was a good time and now my little girl is edging ever closer to becoming a young woman.

Festival of Trees

This year Taylor's dance team performed at the Festival of Trees. Here she is with her team before they performed. I try to keep in mind that they HAVE to wear the make-up but I hate to see my little girl all done up! We were so glad that Gramdma and Grandpa Jones were back in town for the Thanksgiving holiday and were able to come and see. We sure miss having them around but cherish the visits we get to have, only two more years and they are back home for good! Taylor and her group did wonderful, they knew all the moves and in my opinion were the best! She had sure loved the change from gynmastics and I am glad to see her find something she loves and is good at!
