Spring Dance Revue, June 1st, 2013

All four girls are involved in dancing....am I nuts.....maybe a little!!!  So as you can imagine, life gets kind of crazy trying to get everyone to all of their practices.  This year both Rylie and Sydnie were in competitive dancing.  They each had 2x a week practices (and of course they had to be on opposite days) and competitions that they were involved in.  This year the company that they danced for...Starrsteppers, did a production show of Alice in Wonderland.  It was a combination of the old and new Alice's.  Sydnie was the younger Alice and Rylie was a Cheshire Cat.  For both of them we had to attend make-up classes, where we learned how to apply their make-up so everyone looked alike.  Fortunately for me, Sydnie's make-up was super easy and didn't take quite as long.  As for Rylie....that was not the case.  She had the hardest make-up out of all of them.

 Rylie not be impressed with her make-up....we had it down to about 45 minutes after the 4th time of putting it on.  Whoot! Whoot!

Here is a link to a you tube video of the production that the studio put together

 Rylie and Sydnie also performed part of their finale at their school 

Talent Show with their dear friend Brooklyn.

 

 Besides all of the madness surrounding their production number, they both performed Jazz numbers.  Fortunately their classes performed together, so it made my life a little easier. 

 I don't want to forget about the twins!!  This was their first year of dance.  They loved it, but apparently they were turds during class and could never dance by each other because they were naughty.  They must get that from their dad!

Sydnie's Baptism June 1st, 2013

 On June 1st, 2013, Sydnie was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  We are so proud of her and the decision that she has made to be baptized.  She is such a wonderful young lady and a great example to her sisters.  She loves to help them, for the most part!  She enjoys learning new things and most of all being outside with her dad!  We are very proud of you Sydnie!

Sydnie was baptized and confirmed by her dad.  Such a great day!

We had dinner at the North Park Pavilion, with family and friends.  We had Papa G makes is famous "Milk Can Dinner."

Preschool Graduation, May 29, 2013

 Hallie and Remie have been attending preschool with mom, during the last school year.  Hallie has been in Ms. Joy's class, and Remie has been in Ms. Kaydee's.  They love going to school with mom...and seeing their amazing teachers and friends.

They get to go with mom and spend about 45 minutes in her classroom, before school starts.  Posing for a picture, loving each other!

Sydnie Turns 8 while camping at Devil's Creek

 We have a Memorial Day tradition, which takes us to Devil's Creek Reservoir.  This year was no exception.  We went May 24th - 27th, 2013, and spent the weekend with Grandma Shirley and Grandpa Von, and Julie and Brian, and their family.  The weather was wonderful and the best part, was that Sydnie turned 8.  

(I hope she enjoys spending her birthday in the great outdoors, because that seems to be a tradition too!)

Sydnie - waiting very patiently to open her gifts.  She picked what we had for dinner that night, turkey fried steaks with stuffing....

I guess one of the perks of having a birthday while camping, would be that you get to have cobbler for your cake. (Atleast mom thinks it is one of the perks, cause she didn't have to worry about a birthday cake! Whoot, Whoot!)

Sydnie wanted her dad to make a cherry chocolate cobbler, which was delicious!! 

Happy Birthday Sydnie!! We Love You!!

Rylie Runs the Wellsville Mile 5/13/13

While in 4th Grade, Rylie practiced running a mile everyday, in preparation for the Wellsville Mile.  She did great!  She finished in about 10 minutes.  She wanted to run with one of her friends.  We are so proud of her, and hope she continues running.
