Zoo and Fireworks

We love the zoo. We have been to the zoo many many times in the past two years and it is always very exciting for the kids. This last trip was especially fun because Sid is starting to really notice the animals and gets really excited when they move around. Several times she would yell, "Mommy Look" and pull me up to the glass and point.

We ended up going to the zoo on the 3rd. We thought it would be crowded since it was a holiday weekend. Suprisingly It wasn't crowded and it was 72' the entire time. It was a nice day.We had dinner, celebrated Smith Family birthdays, and watched fireworks at Fred and Michelle's in Riverdale. We had such a great day.Hagen Kaleigh and Melissa

Karate Class

Cute little Hagen took a short community education Karate class for the month of June. He loved it. He learned some pretty cool kicks and how to focus a little better, which is a good thing.

My baby is 2 today!!

My sweet little Sidney turned 2 today!! Can't believe that it has been two years. She got a grocery cart and a Zhu Zhu pet (so that she will leave Kaleigh's alone).
She is growing so fast! She is starting to use more words, loves to pretend play with her sister, and loves being outside. She is a tease and loves to get a reaction out of anyone. Happy birthday my sweet girl!

Graduation and school years have come to an end

Today we had Hagen's Fun School/Joy School graduation. What a handsome little guy! They sang a song called "Decisions" that they have been practicing for a few weeks.

Grandpa Olsen's Grave

We went to visit Grandpa on Sunday, May 30th. It is still a shock that he is gone. We love him and miss him. Mormor with the grandkids, except for little Jace.

Little Sid went from being scared to being a little too friendly with the ducks and geese.

Family BBQ on Memoriable Day

I couldn't not post these pix, didn't quite get pix of every one but I will next year.

Happy 6th Birthday Kaleigh!!!

My oldest is officially 6 years olds as of May 27th. My sweet girl who has become so independent and smart and is starting to grow up on me. I love her and her beautiful smile. I am blessed as a Mom! Kaleigh blowing out her candles at her friend party we had on June 1st.

We had a beauty party where they painted their soaked their feet and painted their toe nails and finger nails. Where it was just me and all these girls and Hagen I let them paint their own toe nails. Little scary! But we made it through it. We also did strawberry yogurt face masks with oreo cookies. they were extremely cute and giggly for the yogurt part.

She also had Amelyah and Olivia spend the night. Awe, to be six again!
