Spring Soccer

I wanted to post this of Riley

because I'm so proud of her. This 

particular Saturday's weather was a little 

questionable if there was going to be a game

 or not. But we showed up anyway and played. 

It was just Riley and the coaches daughter

 Kylin who were there. In this video it was just 

Riley playing against the other team since Kylin 

decided to stop playing for some reason. 

For those of you that know Riley, she can be very

shy at times and get embarrassed easily. However

she was brave and played by herself. 

And scored a goal, which I happened to catch on film. 

Yeah Riley!!

Paige's 3 year old Check Up

Paige had her 3 year old check up. 

She did quite well for her usual

drama at the doctors. 

It was probably because it was just

a check up and there were no shots involved. 

Paige getting her weight checked.

31 lbs.  at 53%

37 inches at 48%

Waiting for the doctor. 

She usually cries when the doctor listens to her heart.

Of course my tom girl would pick a "

Spider Man"  sticker. 

Spring cleaning

Okay so I hate spring cleaning. So I put it off 

until I can put it off no more. I have never

cleaned my blinds like this before. But

after living in my house for 4 years I thought

it was time. I've tried to spot clean them in the 

house but this gets them looking brand new. 

Oh believe me it is a pain. It took me 3 days. 

Of course I'm sure I could get them all done in one

Saturday if my kids were not trying to help. But 

they were too cute helping. 

I laid out an old blanket and sprayed and scrubbed them. 

Then sprayed them again and then moved them to

another blanket to dry. What a process. I have 11 sets of 

blinds in my house. 

I am so glad they are done. I've heard you can pay someone

about 75 dollars to clean them for you but my husbands 

rule is if you can do it yourself then DO IT. 

I would agree with that rule maybe to teach my  kids

the lesson of Hard Hard Hard work but for me umm

maybe next time I'll pay. 

It was not worth the back pain from spending 5-15 minutes

on each blind just trying to get it  unhooked from the wall. 

Oh not to mention me standing on a 3 inch ledge above my

stairs to get those blinds down. 

I'm glad they are done and they do look awesome!

Next time I pay or its Brandon's job!!!

Paige tumbling

Now that Paige is 3 she has had many new

experiences. Tumbling is her newest. 

She loves it! However she gets shy and

scared in front of a lot of kids. 

Paige is pretty flexible and has always been. 

She has great back bends. 

Don't pay attention to the rack of leotards. 

I was trying to be sneaky. 

If she sees me she won't tumble. 

Paige is trying to do a cart wheel. 

She can't decide what foot to put forward first. 

One day she does left and the next right. 

Of course the pit and tramp are her 

favorite part of tumbling!

Out with the old on with the new

Brandon's sister Katie and her husband

Spencer needed the guys help to remove their

swamp cooler. So it became a family event.

Katie and Spencer had us up for dinner along

with jeff, Rachael, Lisa, Bob and the kids. 

I love how you can always count on family

when you need a hand with something. 

"How many guys does it take to remove a swamp cooler!"

Paige eating a Popsicle 

Josh could not get enough!

The kids were getting board so we took a walk to the park.

When we got back from the park Grandpa

was in the roof! 

Brandon Spencer and Jeff throwing the 

swamp cooler off the roof. 

Paige at the Dentist

Paige's first time to the Dentist.

She looks so happy and confident

in the first picture and then...

She gets scared. Notice I have to sit in the 

chair with her. 

She even watched Me, Brandon, and Riley go first. 

She let the Hygentist check a few teeth. But the 

noisey tooth brush they have scared her. 

Then the light was too bright so she copied her

sister, Riley and wanted to wear the sunglasses.

In this pictute she has had enough. From what the

Dentist could tell she is Cavity FREE.  Yeah!

Miss Independent!

Sierra is one of the best climbers!

At first it made me nervous but now

not so much because she does it so

often.  She usually gets in her chair

and buckles her belt a lot faster, but

she knew I was filming her. 

Easter 2009

The girls had a hard time finding their hidden

Easter baskets the Bunny hid. 

Paige and her Best Friend

Riley Tidwell

The Family

Paige opening her Birthday presents from

her sisters and Mommy and Daddy.

I love her face on this one when she got a peak

of what it was. (Hungry Hungry Hippo)

She loves to play games! 

She grew out of her life jacket.  So she needed

a new one.  Not so much anymore, but she

use to want to wear her life jacket all the time

even at home. We would have to hide it from

her and if she found it she would cry if we

did not let her wear it!  

Coloring the Easter Eggs.

 

For some reason Sierra thought the

dye was coolaid or something yummy! 

We had Easter dinner at Brandon's Aunt Ann's house.

Along with a Egg hunt for the kids. 

Scary Easter Bunny

I had to post this picture! My girls are so funny!

Notice Paige is crying and Sierra is screaming

No, No, No!

They did not want to sit by the Easter Bunny.

I thought they would be okay if I sat with them,

But not a chance. 

Riley is obviously old enough to not care. 

She thought it was funny that the bunny had

shoes on. Way to go Walmart you got a for

Real bunny!

Paige's Birthday PARTY!

Paige is THREE years old!

I can't believe it! 

This year Paige's Birthday happened to be 

on Easter. So we celebrated her birthday 

the Friday before. Thanks to all the family

to celebrate with us on her special day. 

She had fun and loved all your company!
