One of my favorite nights of the year! Emerson's dance recital!
Spoiled! She got 4 bouquets of flowers. I arranged them in a vase and she wants them on her dresser. She was twirling and doing her "pretend" cartwheels in the aisles.
Getting ready at Sweet and Sassy
Emerson
It looks like a pirate hat but it is a graduation cap
Luke & Emerson have been friends since they were 2
Emerson and her teacher with their 2011 shades
That's right- Emerson learned how to ride her bike without training wheels! She is so excited!
OK, so this post is for all of my friends scrambling for teacher gifts! And the best part of this is it is FREE (Well- except the frame) Go to the website http://www.blogger.com/www.wordle.net and click create. SUPER EASY! It prints in 8X10 so if you want to do a 5X7 you would have to shrink it on a copy machine. Have fun with your Wordle!
We had a fun walk on Saturday evening with Max & Brooke. Kirt & I took all 5 kiddos to Chick-fil-a and then met my parents at the park for a walk on the trails. This is one of my kids favorite things to do! And yes, people at Chick-fil-a thougth all 5 kids were ours- we got lots of second glances.
What an exciting modern fairytale! Yes, I woke up at 4:15 a.m. to watch the Royal wedding! I was so excited to see it- and truthfully- it is the only way I was going to get to watch it in peace and quiet! It was TOTALLY worth it!
So Tracey and I went out and got these cute hair accessories for an event we went to last night! Very Royal! We looked all over for a Fascinator (AKA the English word for hat) but they were sold out everywhere! So we thought these were cute!
Here are my little princesses watching a real life princess! LOVE it!
This is only the second time Emerson has been on the boat since the terrible accident she had last summer when she fell out of the boat. She was nervous at first but by the end of the day she was relaxed and having fun. Kirt and I are still pretty traumatized and always had our hands on their life jackets. I know she remembers the accident because she said- do I get a treat if I don't bounce out of the boat?! Needless to say we didn't discuss it. It was a little difficult to get back on the boat- I kept remembering that traumatic day and being so thankful that our little Emerson was not injured! Anyways, we had a great weekend at the lakehouse with Kirt's family!
Misha & I enjoying the first boat outing of the summer! I couldn't wait to get a little bit of a tan!
Sam & Caroline playing at the top of the driveway! They were racing down on the little bike until a wheel fell off! It seemed a little dangerous so I was a little relieved when the wheel flew off. It is always in the back of my head that the nearest hospital is 30 minutes away!
Coloring Easter Eggs!
Kirt's mom taught the little girls how to make "Bacon Buns" Basically just rolls stuffed with bacon, sausage, and onions. A Ruby Easter tradition!
We had dinner and an egg hunt at my mom & dad's house tonight! The kids had SO much fun! They ate so much candy- I can't believe they are asleep with all the sugar!
Then my sister pulled out the confetti eggs! They had a great time smashing eggs on each other and begged Grandpa to come outside to join the fun!

So I found this picture of Chocolate Dipped Peeps- theirs had sprinkles (but I can't find my sprinkles- I know-- what kind of mom doesn't keep sprinkles on hand?!) They must have been packed up with the boxes I have been packing!
Emerson and I went to a friends party at American Girl! Such a good time! Every little girls dream (and the mommies get to come along too). I think I spent more time brushing the doll's hair and getting her boots and dress to match than I did getting myself dressed! Notice the baby doll has a high chair and a tea cup with real lemonade.
Our ABF at church went to the Rough Riders game a few weeks ago. After going and sitting in the outfield on blankets and the kids running around-- this is the way to go with kids! Usually we go to games and the kids are done when the food runs out- not this time- they ran and played! We love our Crosswalk ABF! If you are ever at the Heights you should check us out!
The crew that came over after grandma's funeral-- I am positive Grandma was smiling in heaven as we all got together and enjoyed each other. My church group provided dinner Saturday night for this entire group. We are so blessed by our ABF that coordinated and provided for us in this time! We had so much fun visiting and relaxing on the patio with our family.
The Great Grankids- the upstairs looked like a tornado but they had so much fun.
My Cousins--- me, Krystal, Betty, Clint, Kevin, Monica, Tonya, and Tracey- there are 4 missing but we had so much fun catching up. I don't think I have been to sleep before midnight since last week.
I love this picture of my Grandma Quinn, my mom and all five grandkids. My Grandma went to join my Grandpa in heaven yesterday afternoon. We are all a little in shock but we know that she was at peace about it and we know she is dancing on the streets of gold with our Heavenly Father. 
We went to the Maverick Game Friday night with the Boyscouts. We had such a good time- well actually they all lost intrest when we ran out of food and snacks. So we lasted about an hour and a half. Caroline loved walking up to the American Airlines Center- she loved the lights in Victory Park and kept say "I go there? I go there?" She was so excited- life through the eyes of a two year old is so refreshing!
Sam
Emerson- yes- of course she wanted to wear her pearl necklace with her outfit- this was taken right before I told her no that this event wasn't fancy enough for pearls.
Me & Caroline
