Easter Dress

Here are pics from Easter with the kids hair done and dress for church!

Easter Bunny Visits

Well Nic is really learning how all the holiday's work.. on April 1st for April fools day Nic watched as everyone would play jokes, so that afternoon Jon took the boys to the library to get books and while they were there Nic told Jon that he wet his pants, and as Jon was shocked and wanted to know way he didn't tell him sooner Nic told him April Fools. So with Easter coming Nic realized gifts come in a basket from the famous Easter Bunny.. so Nic put in his order and he waited kind of patiently, only asking for the last week or so if it was Easter yet. Well with the dying of eggs and learning a hunt for them would happen Easter morning Nic was ready to find the most, along with his basket. So now Syd and Stock have even more competition..Syd really took on the big sister role and let Nic enjoy the hunt, and Stock was smart and went to the basement to come out the big winner by one egg. And Nic's order was delivered, him and Stock got Ninja Turtle parachute figures, Syd got shoes, not to mention all the candy.

Dance Dance Dance

April 3rd & 4th was Syds first dance competition for her jazz dance team.. they dance to the Cruella Devil song. It is a really cute dance and Syd does great. She loves the energy of the competition.. as for the parent, not as much fun. It was fun to see Sydney soooo excited.

Toothless Stock

March 23, 2009... Stockton lost his very first tooth. It was his bottom left tooth and he has been waiting for weeks for it to happen. He beat Syd by a year on age for loosing the first tooth, Syd was 7 1/2. Stockton kept wanting us to pull it out, until tonight that is when he got nervous. Finally, we talked him into letting Jon feel it and he was able to just pull it out with zero pain.

Flat Stanely

Stockton had a first grade project called "Flat Stanley" this year. He had to send Flat Stanley to someone he knew, so that person would color him and send back pictures of the area he visited. Stockton chose to send Flat Stanley to Kam in New York City.

Kam took Flat Stanley all over the city; he rode the Staten Island Ferry, saw Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty, Madison Square Garden, Central Park, The Met, MoMA, and Columbia University. Stockton was so excited to read the captions and anecdotes Kam sent back with all of the pictures of Stanley's visit. It will be the best presentation! Stock can't wait to show his classmates.

Lucky Day

St. Partrick's Day 2009 started off with a visit from Lucky the Leperchan, leaving the kids golden candy and green milk. We all dressed in our green shirts to keep from getting pinched during the day.
