Camping

A few weeks ago we took a short overnight camping trip with the kids. They had a great time! Blake loved exploring and Kate actually asked me if she could help wash the dishes after dinner. She did a really good job. Yeah! Here is a few pictures.

Blake was only happy if he could walk on his own. He didn't want any help and certainly didn't want to stop for pictures.






Kate, on the other hand, wanted to stop and take a picture at every large rock we saw. And we saw a lot on our hike.

Dance Recital

Kate had her first dance recital the first of this month. She did a wonderful job!

The theme for the recital was Holidays. Each class danced to music for a specific
holiday of the year. Kate's age had Christmas obviously. She is a snowman and there
were also christmas trees and jewels in her class. (She definitely had the cutest costume.)
The recital wasn't perfect but I think she had a good time. We were all tired by
the end of the night.

Vacation!!!

Well, we survived our trip to southern California. We actually had a great time. Thank you Mike and Joann! I always thought my parents were crazy when we would come home from vacation and they would be so glad to be home. I would have much rather stayed at Disneyland then. But now I understand. It is good to be home! Here is some of our favorite pics.





I thought that our trip to Disneyland would be a whole lot of little kids rides and princesses. Kate did like to see the princesses, like the above picture. But she really loved the rides! The big ones! Her favorite was Splash Mountain. She can't stop talking about it and I think she went on it 5 times. She also went on Space Mountain 5 or 6 times. Thunder Mountain Railroad was a big hit too, she would just giggle the whole time. She also went on the Hollywood Tower of Terror a couple times. She definitely has a lot of Kevin in her.
