Tumbling Raygen!

We took lots of short videos of Raygen. This is one of her tumbling!

Flying High!!

Parents are not usually allowed in the gym but this last time they let parents come in for the last thirty minutes and take pictures. Raygen loves to do gymnastics and is a natural. Jack came with me to watch and had a great time with his sister.

She loves to do the balance beam. She can do a cartwheel and a back walk over.
Jack liked to swing on the bars. I think its funny the little girl in the back round trying to lift her mom on the bar!

We enjoy watching her! The only down fall would be what happens to our couch when she practices. However, she has started a gymnastics club with all the cousins and school friends and is teaching them different tricks. It is cute to see how organized she is with it!

Where Can You Fall Asleep?

My pictures are a little out of order. So this is how the afternoon went. It was a nice spring day and we were all busy working around the house. I realized that I hadn't seen Jack in a while. Now in my defense when we are working children tend to disappear. So I really don't know how long he was out sleeping in a plastic container on the trampoline. Raygen said it was a long time! She is helpful that way. I was grateful he was in the shade and it was spring! So after taking pictures to document what wonderful parents we are, we decided to move him inside where he continued his nap.

The lesson here is that:
It is better to sleep in a plastic container on the trampoline
then to help the family clean!

Baylee has hair!

Baylee is growing up so fast. She runs all over the place, yells for the kids, throws a pretty decent fit for her age, and has enough hair for her first pigtails. She only kept them in for a few hours and I couldn't decide how I felt about them. It was so cute and tiny on her and yet on the other hand she looked all grown up! We have so much fun with her. She has an amazing sense of humor and loves to tease the kids with her love. She will pretend she is going to hug them and just before she reaches them she turns on a dime and runs the other way laughing! She is good free entertainment and her siblings have decided to keep her!

Rylee gets her ears pierced!

I finally got this to upload!!! Rylee was a little nervous about her ears getting pierced but, once her dad got up there and held her she was able do it! I told her this would be nothing compared to the trip to the dentist. Way to go RYLEE!!!!!

Shark Reef

Our school took a field trip to the Mandalay Bay Shark Reef. It was my favorite field trip this year. We had a real good tour guide and all of the water we were surrounded by was relaxing. We will definitely come back! Next time we want to take the dad!

Can you tell which one of my kids still likes to take pictures?

None of my kids would touch the sting rays. Finally at the last moment I talked Raygen into touching it with one finger. I had also managed to talk Rylee into it but she touched it faster than the camera could take a picture and she said she was not doing that again. Jack wouldn't even get his hand in the water. According to him "It's gross!" He is all boy except for touching gross stuff!

Baylee loves her big cousin Andrew! Tracy and I joke around about it being her first little crush!

Jack is such a good boy and had a lot of fun seeing all of the fish and sharks!

Doing the Dishes!

My husband loves to help! So, while I was doing the dishes I asked him if he could wash up the baby. The next thing I know she is in the sink right next to me taking a bath and grabbing the clean dishes! The problem with this is now every time I do the dishes she is going to want to help me just like she did today!

As you can see she is not interested in coming to me when I was all done. She was enjoying herself!

Thank you Daddy for the help!!!!!
