SPRING SPORTS!

The girls have kicked off their spring sports, and we have had a lot of fun cheering them on! Both Ellie and Addison played Basket ball for the first time this year. Jeff and I were pleasantly surprised at how well they both play. The girls are both extremely aggressive, and quite good. Jeff was a proud papa.
Jeff was out of town for one of Ellie's games. She informed me that she liked dad at her games better then me. I asked her why, and she said its because dad tells her what to do, and I don't know anything! Ha Ha so the truth comes out of the mouth of babes.


Paisley loved to go, and watch the games while the girls played. OK it was the popcorn we bought at every game that made it so much fun!

The girls took pointers from their dad, and turned out to be good little players!

Not only did Addison play Basket ball this spring. She also started competition season for girls level 4 gymnastics. It's so fun to see all of Addie's hard work through the year pay off.
The coaches told the girls that they have three meets to qualify for summer competition. They had to get 34 points at one of the meets in order to move on. Addison kicked it out of the park, and hit over the 34 mark on the first meet. I told her if she beat her score at the next meet I would pay her $10.00. Well she is feeling pretty rich! She got close to a score of 36 which is extremely difficult. She is a born natural! I cant wait to see her this summer.

This girl loves everyone watching her!

Getting ready for her last Vault. Good Job Addie!!!
Now that Basket ball is over, the girls are starting spring indoor soccer. Addison will have to work around Gymnastics with the games, but both girls are excited to play. I'm starting to understand the whole living through your children think. I guess it's great for all, as long as the kids are having fun!

ADDIE'S 7th BIRTHDAY!

Addie turned 7 years old January 29Th.
She had some fun filled days to celebrate.
Addie got a pink motor scooter, and a new outfit from Jeff, and I. Jeff went out of town on her B-day so we all went as a family, early to dinner to start the celebration.

Addie's Birthday landed on a Friday this year, and she lucked out and had no school that day. I took two of her friends, and Ellie Ice-skating for her party.

It was Addison and Kennedi's first time! They all had such a fun time!


Ice-Skating with my Birthday Girl!

We had pizza, and Cake at the Ice-skating rink.

Presents!!

That night we met some of the family at Golden Corral for dinner, and more parting!

Addie and her Grandma Gardner.

Addison brought donuts, and juice box's for her class to share for her birthday. Addison's teacher had everyone in her class stand up and say something they liked about Addie. She then had me stand and tell something about her. It was so dang cute! I love this little girl so much. She is such a fun little spirit. So full of life, ready to make everyone around her laugh. She is so determined, and spunky! Addison is such a smarty pants. This girl is naturally good at everything she had tried. We are so lucky to have her in our family!
We love you Addie!
