Riding a Bike

It was finally nice enough for me to let the girls out and play. They have been waiting to learn to ride a bike. Elizabeth was outside ready to go. She does not have a helmet yet so she was riding on the deck. She picked it up really quickly and had a blast.

It all started with some seed

Victoria brought home this cup that she had grown some grass in at school. When she 1st brought it home it was barely above the cup and a week later this is what we had. She made sure to put the cup in sun light and watered it. Now, she wants to plant her grass in the back yard.

Nurse Hercules

Victoria started to wheez one day and had a hard time breathing so I took her to the Dr. They took her pulse and oxygen and it was high. Her heart rate was really high and her oxygen was low. So, they gave her some Tylenol, she had a slight fever, and then took everything again about 30mins later and no change. They gave her a breathing treatment and steriod and still no change. I was sent home with an inhaler and steriods she had to take for 3 days. Plus both the girls had strep. So, the next day there was Hercules staying be his Sister's side making sure she was OK. The girls rough him up and play hard with him but he takes it all in stride and loves them both so much. Such a great dog we have.

Every Girl Can Be A Princess

The girls had their ballet recital and it was great. The recital this Spring was about Princess'. The girls' first dance was Princess' at a tea party and their second dance was about being a ballerina. It was so cute to watch all the girls. All the dances were so great and all the girls have grown so much. Victoria's partner last Spring, Kristina, is a Senior this year and both of my girls gave her hugs to say good bye. She is off to school to become a dancer.

Victoria has grown so much in Ballet and I am so proud of her. Her technique is really coming along and she is able to do a lot more by herself. She is moving up a class this Fall and that will be exciting for her.

Elizabeth is just so darling on stage. She doesn't even have to dance and she is cute. She did dance this time but was still the last one on stage again. She LOVES ballet so much and looks forward to it every time she goes.

Daddy gave the girls a rose and then a beautiful Ballerina necklace, that they love and wear everyday. Auntie Moi got the girls really cool scrapbooks that they get to fill out. We were so happy to have family come out to watch the girls and we ate some really good food.

Bounce and Play time

We got to spend the day with Trisha, McKay and Savannah. We were going to go play at Hollywood Connection but it was not open so we made other plans. Victoria and Elizabeth made McKay and Savannah button bracelets. McKay and Savannah made Victoria and Elizabeth necklaces. We went to Red Robin and had lunch first and then decided to go play at a Bounce house place.

Charlee met us there and played with us too. We had to much fun. Trisha and I even went and played with the kids. We went to a bounce house in the back and played tag and follow the leader.

McKay and Victoria bonked heads going down together.

Victoria wanted McKay and Charlee to come with her but they were already in a different house and she had her feeling hurt. Then we went to find the other two to find out what happened. Victoria and McKay were starring at each other and Victoria just walked away and McKay started to cry. I could not believe it, they both had broken each other's hearts. They finally made up and things were good again.

The kids played hide and seek in one of the bounce houses. Savannah was hiding behind a pillar and came out putting her finger to her lip, hushing us, it was so cute. McKay kept tackling Victoria so he could beat her up the climbing wall.

They all had such a great time together and I love playing with the Linford family.

The Grizzles are in the Playoffs

Louis got some free tickets to the Hockey game as his employer is a sponsor. We were up in the party suite and it was pretty fun. So, we took the girls to their frst Hockey game. I brought card games and such thinking they may get bored. But my little girls got into the game. Victoria was shouting at the teams and clapping along with the music. Elizabeth was watcing Grizbee, the mascot. We tried to get down lower to see him but he did not make it. The game went into overtime and the other team won...dang it. We went at half time and got a pizza, lemonade and ice cream. It was so yummy. We will be going next season a lot as the girls loved it but we will be sitting lower so the girls can get to meet GrizzBee and they will be in the GrizzBee club so they get to attend his B-day party.

Chasing of the Lambs

It is Spring time again and baby anmials are here. The girls and I went to our friend's farm to see the babies. First we got to see the new baby horse and she is so cute. She was a little scared to come up to the girls but not the Mama, she was all about getting some hay. Victoria and Elizabeth loved to feed her and Charlee was just throwing in handfuls of hay to her.

Then we went to see the Llama, Flicka, and the sheep and baby lambs. Last year it was Victoria who chased them but this year it was Elizabeth chasing the babies. She said she just wanted to pet one and they would not come to her. She was very sad about that. All 3 girls fed grain to the Flicka and the sheep.

Next was the baby cows that are being raised to be eaten. On the way to get into the cow pin my little Elizabeth fell face first in a pile of hay, mud and yep cow crap. She was a trouper though. They got in there and fed the cows grain too. Jack, the cow that tried to eat her boot last year was in there too.

The girls had fun and that is all that I care about. That they get to go and get yucky and have fun.

Thank you Shafer Family for always allowing us to come and play.
