March 14 - 16, 2009

Warm Weather!!

After being inside for months of winter, the kids were so excited to get outside. Austin and Katelyn hadn't ridden their bikes much at the old house (to much of a hill), but after riding the bikes for a few days they had it down. Both of them got the training wheels off within days. We were so proud of them!!





Cabin Cabinets!


Todd is making progress on the cabinets. What a mess!!!

St. Patrick's Day


We had a fairly uneventful St. Patrick's Day. I was getting ready for a Scrapbook Expo (more info next entry) so I had been designing scrapbook layouts all day. But we had to do something to celebrate. So we decorated cookies before bed, the green frosting made everyone's tongue turn green. The kids thought that was the best part!! Then the kids got a fun surprise when they went to bed, under their pillows a leprechaun had left a pot of gold. So much fun.

Scrapbook USA Expo


At the first of the month I decided to start my own business, crazy I know. But I had missed designed scrapbook page kits, and had several people asking me for them. I spent all month getting ready (several all nighters), with the help of friends and family I was able to pull it off. It was a huge success, I decided to open a website and it will be ready in a month or so.

Spotlight Dance Competition


The girls had another dance competition. Rachel took first in her solo, Kelsie took first in hers as well as a special judges award for the love of dance. Brinlee competed in the novice division (for those who have competed or 2-3 years) and she took the overall first place trophy, there were girls ages 4 - 14 in this division. It was a huge win for her, the trophy was huge!! All three girls were just amazing. They all had great success at the team competition as well. I love watching them dance.






Three days before this dance competition Kelsie (who had been sick for several weeks with pnemonia) was diagnosed with mono. She didn't want to let her team down, so she competed anyway, but she was exhausted. With her being so sick it made her judges award even more special, the judge said that she had picked her because her smile lit up the stage, and she could tell there wasn't anywhere that she would rather be. If only the judge knew just how true this was.
