Hannah & Addison's School Dance.

For weeks Hannah & Addison's school classes spend time practicing their cute little dances in hopes that they would get it down before they invited their parents & family to come & watch them show off their skills & all their hard work.
I tried to get close enough to get only our girls in the shot... I was pretty dang close however, we have shy little ladies who tried even harder than their mom to get out of the shot!!! "No Jack was in the way!!!" Said Hannah. If you watch the videos you will see what I am talking about.
They did a wonderful job Josh & I were very proud of our little ladies. ( =

Monday nite Family nite...

Lucky the Beaver was dancin' crazy & making our little ladies laugh their cute butts off `cause of the rain the game was tardy.


We were all very excited to go to a Portland Beavers baseball game Monday for family night...It was extremely nippy & soggy all nite long, & maybe only 60 fans came to the game against the Salt Lake Bees. We were fired up for baseball dogs, peanuts, cracker jacks, & having a good time. I was excited that the first 1000 fans receive reusable grocery bags, you can never have too many reusable bags for all the grocery shopping we do at our house. I love reusable bags...they look small however, they hold a ton of grocery's & the girls love putting their favorite food, candy, drinks, & anything else their adorable petite hands can get, in their reusable grocery bag.

A Sneak with My Daddy!

Our little skilled snow bunny kickin' butt & takin' names up on Mt. Hood!
Addison Loves to snowboard & was totally excited when her daddy told her it was her Sneak next & what is it that she would like to do with her daddy... not even a second had past before she said "Go to Mt. Hood to get a day of snowboarding in!" = }
How cute is our little gator!
Josh was super stoked snowboarding is one of his favorite things to do besides hanging out @ home doing all the remodeling that needs to get done with our house! ; )

Wild weekend with the SUN!

It has been along run without the sun for us here in Oregon nonetheless, last weekend came with the beautiful fiery sun & summer conditions which was a swell intermission from the brutal nippy ash gray winter weather. Josh & I settled on going back to Salem for the day, our A.C. Gilbert's Discovery Village pass required a renewal. We decided to go just as a family no friends...if you have a preteen you know just how hard this job is.

After a day in Salem we went home got Sampson the dog & went to the park to play catch with him.

Playing at A.C. Gilbert's Discovery Village with the girls was entertaining we had a wonderful hide~n~seek game, parents against kids. Yes they kick our butts! = }



Hannah pulled out her very best disposition for the day...she was a peach!
We did take the girls to one of their favorite restaurants in Salem The Best Little Roadhouse we like their rolls.
Patience's had a good time with a ton of smiles from her. = )
Addison loves hangin' out with her family, her smile is very infectious. : )

I do love being a parent...

However, there are days in which I would love to hear someone announce two sweet words "Final Lap!" Don't get me wrong I have fantastic, loving, kind, smart, beautiful, well behaved girls that I would never want to trade for anyone or anything else. With that being said I do have three little drama queens on my hands...I know that I am a minute shining example for my ladies however, the drama that I am going through with my ladies right now definitely comes from the Caldwell side. ; }
