Maddie and Brynn

This is Maddie and her best friend Brynn at their Montesorri end of school year party.
Brynn is heading to Kindergarten in the fall and Maddie is going to miss her dearly.

Fruita, Colorado

This past weekend we headed to Fruita, CO with a group friends for some mountain biking.

We had a great time, despite the crummy weather. Camping with 3 kids in the rain is an experience.

They did hike 3.5 miles on Saturday without a complaint. Clare piggy backed most of the way!



Hiking...

Getting ready for lunch, right before a huge storm.

Camping....

At Monument National Park.

Olivia's School Field Day

Maddie Soccer pics

She Loved playing goalie (and she didn't inherit that from me).

Olivia earns her White Belt

Olivia took a 4 week Karate class through her school and loved it.
Here she is getting her white belt.

Taelyn's 2nd Birthday

Clare's best buddy Taelyn turned two back in April....

An attempt...

Still virtually impossible to get everyone to look at and smile at the camera at the same time. This time we tried bribing with Jelly Beans and you can see that Clare listened!

Spring Concert

This spring the girls joined the FlatIron Youth Chorale and LOVED it!
At the end of the 4 month session, they performed at the local retirement community.
And are once again getting use out of flower girl dresses!!

Olivia and her friend Sneha.

Library

Girls did a little rearranging and made themselves a library.
Complete with a register and the librarians (stuffed animals).

Dying Eggs

Easter Egg Hunt

Pathetic that I am just now posting these...

Olivia got her own egg hunt at home because she had a soccer game at the same time as the city egg hunt.

Weenie

For the life of me I can't remember what I was doing that bothered him, but he put himself in the bathtub for protection. And wouldn't get out until I had to lift him out. Awesome.

Didn't think it was possible...

that they could all actually sit still for a moment...but here is the proof.
Olivia, Taelyn, Bobo and Maddie

Classic Clare

Don't worry, just an empty.

Family Photo- Top of the Gondola

We really did miss you Clare...

Riding the Gondola

Maddie checking out the view.


And wondering if the gondola was such a good idea.

And of course she can ski AND chew gum.
