Easter

Took me a while, but I actually found matching dresses that I also liked and they didn't cost a lot of money either.  I almost thought I was going to have to sew them- but I got lucky!

Happy Easter!

Maija- 7

Brielle- 6

Little Man Levi- 3 (Oh did I mention this boy is potty trained?  Wahoo!)

Greta- 14 months

Lucky Me

SIX

Can't believe this 6 lb baby girl is already 6!  She brings lots of energy to our house.  Brielle is curious and adventurous.  She is awesome in school and is reading wonderfully. 

Brielle was so lucky to have her cousins here for her birthday.  We had a Hawaiian Luau with Hawaiian Haystacks, smoothies and grass skirts!

Wicked

We surprised the girls with Wicked tickets over spring break.  They were so excited!  They loved every minute of the show (even though they didn't quite understand it all...)  We even got to meet Elphaba at the stage door after the show....she wasn't green anymore.  Both the girls have been singing Wicked music non-stop since we came home.  And, yes, I am brainwashing my children into loving musicals.  Its my right as a mommy, right?
