February
At the dentist... can we get a shout out for NO CAVITIES!! Yeah! Nyah chose a microscopic doll as a prize and Ali chose a giant inflatable bat that was 3 times her size! :)
At the Children's museum... upstairs they have traveling exhibits and this one was construction zone these are tubes that shoot colored cloth and balls through and out... the girls loved it!
Be My Valentine
Any holidays that involve celebrating with candy is a HUGE hit at our house... Grandma Dahle and Grandma Poulsen came through big time on the valentines!
At the VG Valentine party Ali was so excited to participate... she usually has to watch because she is to young but she totally got into zebra character at the puppet show!
Candy, Candy, and more candy...
We like to make valentines every year to mail out... the girls had a valentine blast letting their creative juices flow!
TRADITION! We also have to make heart shaped sugar cookies with pink frosting and red hot lips!
Derek was down and out with a migraine headache and so Nyah came to the rescue with a doll to cuddle... what else could a grown man suffering from excruciating pain ask for? :)
CIRCUS
We went to the circus with Nyah's preschool... the girls were excited... until...
Ali saw the clowns :)
The bears on bikes were a fav!
MARCH
Putting Nyah to work... Nyah is always willing to lend a helping hand :)
We have a lot of picnics this is one just outside our door... Ali is growing up so fast she is going to be 2 so soon!
Downtown slides... our faces say it all. The girls beg to go all the time and it's a good workout jogging to the top for an air catching ride.
Checking out the orangoutangs at the zoo
hiking a fake waterfall :)
NYAH'S FIRST SOCCER TEAM!
warm ups...
proving to her coach she is willing to sacrifice her body even in the warm up :)
Ali is an awesome cheerleader on the sidelines... but she wants to get out there and play herself with ALL of her Ali heart!
I never thought the day would come that I would have a child old enough to play soccer! Time goes by so fast! It makes me excited for the future!
good sportsmanship
team huddle
Finally! The whole reason for showing up team snacks!
Ali's Aunt Dee gave her this cute old lady sweater for Christmas and when I saw her pushing the shopping cart I felt it totally completely the look :)
My sweet Ali-kins!!! What a BEAUTY!
DANCE
Here is Nyah with her dance BFF's
and her teacher Miss Chalise
Grace
Balance
and Show-Stopping moves... a professional dancer in the making for sure... at least an enthusiastic dance lover! :)
We have a few minutes after the gym and before I pick Nyah up from school everyday so Ali and I usually end up at a park across the street... she loves it!
rock climbing
bug spotting... (how is it that a microscopic bug can hold their interest for so long when nothing else can?)
Last Day of School
Here is Nyah with her teacher Miss Robyn... she really enjoyed her time in Christ Child this last year... she is always excited about school!
2nd game warm ups (yes I am a little excited about being a new soccer mom... hence all the pictures!) Ha!
Secret game plan...
GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL............
Nyah scored her very first goal!!!!
I was bursting with pride!!!
Ali couldn't fight the urge any longer she ran onto the field to celebrate with a team cheer!
My two girls are such fun friends (most of the time)! They make me so happy (most of the time)! HA!
Ali loves her Nyah... she wants to be just like her... I am so glad that Nyah is such a wonderful big sister!
Prepping for Ali's 2 year Birthday Easter Eggstravaganza!
