Tuck Baskets

Brookie's favorite pass time is to stunt. She LOVES flying. Jessie's came with us this day and I was able to get her in a few stunts also. They really amaze me! Guaranteed...I wasn't doing this kind of stuff at ages 6 and 8!

Happy & Mad Faces

HAPPY FACES

MAD FACES

Jessie FINALLY lost her first tooth

Jessie finally lost her first tooth. She has been waiting forever. Brookie lost both her front teeth a month after she turned 5 and Jessie is almost 7. She was beyond excited! She lost it at school. She couldn't wait to get home and show us.

Easter...next year we aren't gonna focus so much on stupid eggs!

The annual Easter egg hunt at our house gets more intense every year.

1. The family room is only so big.

2. The kids are getting older and can remember all the hiding spots.

3. We have extremely competitive kids.

4. Brent, the daddy, encourages the madness.

This all creates for a whirlwind Easter egg hunt, which always ends with someone crying. But they are super excited to do it again the next year.

Hurry! Jessie Hurry!

Brookie showing how she has the most...again!

Here come the tears..."Brookie cheats, that's how she always wins!"

Braden just glad he got the blue egg.

(Jessie had to let him get it and she claim's that's why she lost.)

Ahhh...Lil' Nik Nik is young enough to still just love running around with the girls; not being to sure what all the madness is about, but loving it!

Coloring Eggs:

It's Tradition and always a family favorite!

Braden's blue AND green one mixed. WooHoo!

Nik Nik's yellow one.

Cheer Exhibition at Seeliger Elementary

Silver Spirit was invited to do a cheer exhibition at Seeliger Elementary School in Carson City. The girls had a fun time. It was nice to be able to have fun performing without the pressure of competition.

Sledding at Heavenly

We only live about 20 minutes from The Ridge, a hotel of suites at the base of one of the Heavenly Ski lifts. After 5:00 you can use it as a sledding hill. During Spring Break we rented a suite for 3 days and took the kids sledding one of the days. It was a ton of fun...Cold but fun.Jessie, Kaylee Nicole, Brooke and Braden

Typical Brookie...um is there a picture being taken????

They all got me a new ipod. They were sooooo excited! It was a fun fun birthday. I love it when my kids are so excited they can just hardly stand it. They could not wait. Poor Braden was busting at the seems to tell me.

He was beyond excitement when I finally opened it.

Party's over Lady! Get back to work! Loved my birthday! Love my family!

Father / Daughter Dance 2010

Every Valentines Day they have a Father / Daughter dance for girls ages 3 and older and their dads. Brent has been taking the girls for a while now and they absolutely LOVE it! This year the girls really wanted to wear their formal gowns. This meant Brent had to wear his suit but he didn't complain...too much. They usually go to dinner first and then to the dance.

Jessie and Daddy and Brookie just before they left.

Brookie and daddy. Brookie chose to have her hair crimped with a little side poof this year.

Jessie and daddy. She wanted her hair in Shirley Temple ringlets with a sparkly headband.

A picture with the littlest sister. 2 more years and she can go too.

I thought it would be fun to put in some of the pictures from the father / daughter dance from prior years. I don't have all of them on this laptop but here are a few:
