Updates Galore!

Daddy Daughter Dinner Dance
On Friday night Mike & Kaelyn went to their 2nd Daddy/Daughter Dance at Kaelyn's school. They had a really good time!
Here's Kaelyn doing the limbo:-)

Tea at the White House

Friday at school Kaelyn and the other 1st graders performed in a play. Each student had to choose 1 famous American to study. On the day of the play, the students dressed up like their famous person. Parents came in and interviewed the famous Americans and then headed to the cafeteria to perform their musical numbers. Kaelyn had a speaking part and did a GREAT job! Mike thought the funniest thing was when a little white kid came up to him and said, "Hello, I'm Barack Obama." Kaelyn dressed up like Lousia May Alcott (the author of Little Women).
Thanks for coming to Kaelyn's play uncle Marlon!!
Here's a blurry picture of Kaelyn's Lousia May Alcott report. The students' work was displayed in the hallway for parents to view.

Zack's Birthday Party
We planned to host Zack's party at the park but there was a chance of rain. At the last minute we changed our plans to Peter Piper Pizza. I didn't get many pictures, Darcie was on camera duty and I have not gotten the pictures from her yet. Here are a few that I took:-)

Here's Zack and Mia. Zacky followed Mia around all day! They are such good friends and we really love Mia!!

Kaelyn & Jenna

Zack insisted on having this cake for his birthday. I tried to convince him to get a birthday cake, rather than a Valentines cake, but he could not be talked into it.

I always get my kids their own personal cake for their birthday. This is the one Zack chose this year. It was really cute.

Super Bowl Party
Bryce and Missy hosted a Super Bowl Party this year at their new house.

I wanted to get the kids Cardinals shirts but they were all sold out. So, I made them shirts:-) Here's Zacky sporting his home-made Cardinal shirt. In case you haven't heard, Zack Harris is a FUTURE Cardinals player :-)

Cardinal's Spirit at Church
The kids got to dress up like football players on Superbowl weekend. Here they are on the way to church. (Notice Kaelyn's Cardinals sign.)


Family Day
We were all off on MLK day so we decided to do one of our favorite things - a family bike ride. We rode our bikes to the movies to watch Dog Hotel.
We got there early so we had time to play video games. They really rip you off on the video games!! The cheapest ones were .50, but most were $1!!

We got a flat tire on the way there, so Mike rode to the bike shop that was conveniently located near the movie theater to buy a new tube. The kids and I stayed and played games while we waited for him to come back.
Happy times at the concession counter

We hosted a small play-off get together. Here's Bryce after jumping on the trampoline with the kids.
