Softball Opening Day

Another season has started for our Lil' Dodgers! The girls are now almost mid-season with Al as their head coach. They are getting so exciting to watch! Both have improved so much! So far the team is undefeated. The true test will be in a couple weeks for the tournament.

Landree always has to be front and center. She is standing right in front of the DJ table dancing.

Snow Day!

A couple weeks ago Al took off work on a Tuesday. Landree and Lily still had school so Al, Lauryn and I headed up to Mt. Charleston for hot chocolate, brunch and some fun in the snow. Lauryn loved it just like Daddy! It was nice having some one on one time with her.

Lost Tooth

Lillian lost her first tooth on March 16th! The morning of, her tooth was a little wiggly. By the end of the day it was a little more wiggly. She was so desperate to lose her first tooth she wiggled it all night long. Just before bed she yanked hard enough and out it came! Every morning now she insists she has another loose tooth. I love her little lisp now with the one tooth gone.

ifferent teeth.

Aunt Ronna

Our good friend Ronna visited just before Thanksgiving. She was in town for a seminar so we were unable to spend a whole bunch of time with her but the time spent was FUN! We took her to one of the girls' favorite restaurants, Bambini's. Then she treated the girls to a spending spree at Target. The girls picked out any toy they wanted, filled Kansas State purses that Ronna brought with lotions, lip glosses and candy. She also bought Lauryn the cutest dresses.

Thank you so much Ronna! We love and miss you!

Ghost Town

We spent Halloween weekend with friends in Beatty, Nevada. One of our excursions was to Rhyolite, a ghost town close to Death Valley. From what I remember the town was booming in the early 1900's due to mining.

One of the homes was made entirely out of glass.

Santa Train

One of our outings for the holidays was riding the Santa Train in Boulder City. Storm and Nik invited us to spend a Sunday morning riding the train and meeting Santa and Mrs. Claus.

Lauryn is not fonded of the bearded man. She kept her distance.

Kendall and Sydney were not fans either!

Landree and Lily LOVE him...he brings the goods...

To Blog or Not To Blog?

Look at those cheeks! Have you missed this face?

I haven't figured why I torture myself every 6 months on whether to continue this darn thing. I feel pressure from family, friends and myself to get "on it", to continue to document the life of the girls. But my question is, do I start now and move forward, start now and move back while still moving forward, or start from Thanksgiving and bust my butt to get caught up in the "present"? Preferences anyone?


So why not pick completely random...
We went to our annual "check out the Bellagio" after Christmas. There are many performers on the strip now. If you tip them well you get a picture of your kids with said performers and also get them to perform. But we couldn't get the darn guy to say 1 word...

We have not been good hosts for Grandma the last 10 years. She said this was the first time she had seen the fountains from the front of the Bellagio. What??? Slap my wrist...

The girls obviously...see they have grown in the last 2 months!
