A Baby Eagle and some Zombies, that's all.

There's my baby eagle!!  The last few weeks are all one big blur but somewhere in there we went to the kids dance festival for school.  I think it is the cutest thing ever and I think all schools should do it!  Each grade level learns a dance together and dang, it's cute! 

Chloe's grade performed to a song called Baby Eagle.  I dont know where it came form and we tried to google it and the only thing we found was another Kindergarden class performing it??  This was my favorite part, they were pointing at their eyes saying something but I dont remember what!

towards the end they all hola hooped!  It turns out Chloe has some serious hula hooping skills too!  They performed the song 4 times and she only dropped her hula hoop during the first go!

These two goof balls were seriously putting on their own show out in the crowd!

I felt bad because I couldn'tstop watching them and I would miss something Chloe did, luckily she did it 4 times so I caught up quick.  They were pretty dang good, they copied everything Chloe did!

Obviously the 4th graders are way to cool to be baby eagles so they learned a dance to Thriller!!  It was so funny!  Carter really wanted a full zombie costume but he only gave about 10 minutes warning that they could dress up and I'm good, but not that good.  Luckily a class mate had some fake blood for him!

Nice, right?

Here's Coop, I guess his teacher said no face paint, whatever.  Billy was pretty impressed by Coop's dance moves, he's a natural I guess.  Those of you who have seen me dance know he most certainly gets that from me.

Now you see why Billy was impressed.  I wish we would have recorded it, duh.

and one more of the baby eagle!!  I LOVE LOVE LOVE watching the kids perform in any way!  I missed an assembly that Chloe did while I was in NYC (which was a really awesome trip and someday I'm going to post therest of the pictures) and I was so sad.  They generally make me cry, I don't know why.  I just love my kids, they are all amazing and lots of fun!

Spring Break 2012!!!!

We always like to party hard over spring break!  This year was no exception.  We are so lucky to live by so much family, the kids are seriously spoiled with cousin time over the summer.  When they have to go back to school they start having withdrawls so we try to make up for it over spring break.  We do pretty good over Christmas break too but the weather's just not as nice as spring break, which was PERFECT this year by the way!  This is just a small sampling of some of this years activities. 

We went for a bike ride.  It seems simple but a lot of work went into this!  Joni is the only one with a truck but we live way out in nowhere and there aren't any bike trails near us that we can ride to.  Anyway, it took a lot of planning but we pulled it off, drove to the bike trail, rode to a park, played and ate lunch, then rode back! 

This is my favorite picture, I dont know why, Brandi just cracks me up!!

The gang

Joni fixing Shenelle's bike for Brandi to ride.  She really is handy to have around.  Brandi trying to ride the bike with the chain off was a highlight of the trip for sure!

The tiny bit older gang, and the youngest ones too, didn't see those guys back there!

These three are best buddies!  They are basically triplets, Jackson just came a few years late to a different family.

My awesome sisters and mom!  I LOVE living so close to them and seeing them so regularly.  Even if they say I have a utah accent, whatever that is.

Couldn't be happier crawling around the park!

On to the next activity, we played night games with everyone.  We took it way more serious then everyone else.  Billy told us to make this sign, I hope it doesn't mean anything.  We played a little kick the can and fugitive.  These games are not for sissys either, I was exhausted.

Here are the little models at antigravity!  These girls LOVE each other and they just dont get enough of each other. I cant remember the order in which we did things but I do remember that this day was Karens birthday!

Chloe and Sophie, so stinking cute!

Had to post this one, just missed the toe touch but she did it!

Birthday girl bouncing of the walls!

Friday night we had a girls  night for Karens b-day and went out to dinner up in Springdale.

You should try it!!!
Me and Shenelle

There were lots of other unpictured activities going on but I am pretty proud of getting this many!  We had lots of sleep overs, trips to the parks, late night runs to get nachos and soda, and just plain hang out time!
