End of the year Field Trips

The girls both had field trips at the end of the school year. Just days apart from each other. I got to go to both of them! Makayla went to the Aquarium and Alyssa (and Matthew of course) went to the Zoo!!!

Afterward, Matt and the girls were playing ball it was so cute, Matt loves to play ball!!!!

Lipizzanar Horse show

We took the girls and a friend for each one of them to the Lippizaner horse showat the E center. We all had so much fun watching the horses do all their moves and such. It was such a fun night!!!








Enchanted play songs

Here are a few clips of some of the songs Makayla sang in her Enchanted play!

Makayla's Enchanted Play

Makayla was in the Up with kids production of Enchanted. She had a lead as Theodore and two other small parts. She had so much fun and doing this play really brought her out of her shell. Now most of you know that Alvin and the chipmunks aren't in Enchanted, but for this play they were. They had too add a variety of characters so everyone could have a part. In this version of enchanted Pip runs into the chipmunks and that's how Theodore got to be a lead in Enchanted.

Her main roll in the play was as Theodore the chipmunk
Alvin, Theodore, Simon
Our cute little Theodore. She did such a good job!!!
Singing their song...had a bad day
All their voices were chipmunk sounding, they
did something to change their voices in the microphones!
She was also a pigeon in one of the seens

As well as a troll. She had speaking lines as a
troll and as Theadore
All the trolls, caught in a trap

How cute is our troll????

Matt's 2nd birthday

Matthew's birthday was on the 22nd of April.  We had a small family party for him that day, then on Sunday the 26th we had a big family party with all our close family and friends.  He made off with another haul and I'm sure he didn't realize what all the fuss was about, but he sure had a lot of fun and enjoyed all the attention that he got!!!

Opening presents on his actual Birthday...

 Playing with the toys he got (cute video of this below)

Sunday-Family party presents...
I painted Makayla's old rocking chair red 
and added Matt's name and fire trucks, etc
The seat...I painted the fire maltese
The top has his name and I stamped some
fire related images too..helmets, trucks and
Dalmatians!
  
The rocking chair.  it turned out pretty

He got a red (fire truck) from Aunt Leslie & 
Uncle Ammon...It's his favorite of all the gifts!
