Egg Decorating

Today to get in the Easter mood, we had cousin Easton over to decorate Easter eggs, I got a few different egg coloring kits at Target. A marbled egg one, a glitter one and a regular one with stickers. The eggs actually turned out really cute and the kids had fun decorating them. My only complaint it that I got egg dye on my white shirt and I am pretty sure it stains. BUt, we are for sure getting more and more excited for Easter.

Our Birthday Boys....

Last night we went to our little nephew and cousin Zach Lovell's birthday party. He and Max were due 2 weeks apart, and it is crazy for me to think it was an entire year ago that I will still pregnant with Max, we were actually down in Phoenix for a golf weekend when Lisa called us to say her water broke 4 weeks early and she was going to have Zach, we hopped on the plane home and got to the hospital as soon as she was a 10 and we were there for the birth of little Zach, I seems like a lot less time than a year has gone by though. Anyway, when I was posting these pictures on his birthday I realized I never posted about a couple of other boys in our lives who have just had birthday so I made this our "BIRTHDAY BOYS" post! We love all your little dudes!
Birthday Boy #1 Zachary Lovell

Fairy Tale Ballet

Today, Adyson was so excited when she woke up because yesterday we went to the dance store and bought her new ballet slippers, leotards and tights so she could start her first ballet class today. She waited in her ballet outfit all ready at home on the couch for 45 minutes before we could leave.

She is not 3 yet so she can't officially start any pre-ballet or beginner ballet classes so the studio offers a class for 2 1/2 year olds to take called Fairy Tale Ballet. Fairy Tale Ballet is such a great idea to introduce the girls to dance. They get there and they have princess pictures to color until the whole class arrives, then once everyone has arrived they all gather around the teacher and each week she tells them a fairy tale out of a book, today was "Wizard of Oz" then they dress up in the costumes that go with the story and have class in the costumes. I figured they would just turn on music and let the kids dance but it was more structured which is GREAT! They do stretching with songs first, then they do turns and positions while they try and stay inside the hula hoop, then across the floor work like kicks and leaps. The teacher has fun with them but requires them to listen and follow directions. Ady loved it!!!







I am so proud of my little ballerina! Max and I watched her entire class, Max thought all the dancers were babes, he kept smiling and babbling at them.
