My "Unwreath" for My Door

I got this idea from a friend of mine...Kristy Call and thought that I would make one. The one pictured above is the one that I came up with. Check hers out at www.thediaryofdaveswife.com. I thought that it was a cute idea for something for the front door. I wanted something a little different for my summer wreath. And I love the pin wheels. I will be making many more for other things. Love them! Thanks Kristy for sharing.

Also, check out the cute shoes she did for me. She shows you how to do them on her blog. Such a good idea to change up your shoes. Mine are the silver ones that she re-did in turquoise polka dot fabric.

She has some great ideas!!

Gymnastics

Sadie and Savanna had their gymnastics show back in May. It was fun to see how much they have improved. Savanna wasn't sure what to do once the music started. Sadie surprised us and did her first back walkover all by her self. She was so excited about that. It was fun to watch.

Before the show......

At the end of the show they got medals!

Sadie's class.... She advanced to the level 2 class pretty fast.

Since their show they have improved in just a month. I signed them up for the summer classes and Sadie has improved even more and doing bigger tricks. It's nice since it is only her and another girl in her class since it is the summer one. Savanna's class is full and she is learning new things and getting better.

They absolutely love gymnastics and look forward to going every week.

They are doing tricks non stop around the house.

(We have it on video but it takes to long to load on here).

Random-ness

Maddox running around while Savanna is doing swim lessons.

He loves it outside.

Savanna did really good at swim lessons. She cried the first couple of days, mostly because the water was cold. There were a couple of cooler windy days. Nice for me as I was waiting and watching, but not so much for her.

She loves her goggles!!She loves the kick board.

Sadie is in swim lessons right now. She is getting so good and more confident.

Sadie's end of school program. Poor Sadie was sick the night before, so I took her for her program. She was feeling better. It was Hawiian theme. They sang lots of songs. It was cute!

Playing in the water while Sadie is at school.

Sadie was star of the week at school. She had to fill out the poster and color it. It was her birthday this day!

This is what we gave her teacher for teacher appreciation week. A boutique friend and Dale's recent boss made it. Check out her stuff on facebook, search Sassy Talk. She does so many cute creations. I love this one!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SADIE!

Sadie turned 6 on Friday May 6th. I can't believe I already have a 6 year old and that she is going to be in 1st grade next year.

On her birthday I took treats to her class to share with all of the kids. She was so excited about that. It was right before reccess she was begging me to stay and watch her at reccess. Man watching all of those kindergarteners running around and tattling every 5 minutes makes me appreciate her teacher even more. That is hard work. (I will post in another post what we got her teacher for teacher appreciation week).

Ok, so back to the PARTY!

I asked Sadie what she wanted to do for her party and she told me that she wanted to do a Fancy Nancy Party. Fancy Nancy is a book. Now there are a ton of books about Fancy Nancy. They are very cute and the girls love them.

It was so much fun to plan and so easy, since I already had just about everything on hand to plan for it made it even better. I made the birthday banner and gathered all of there Fancy Nancy books to display, along with feather boas and jewels.

When the girls arrived they were dressed so fancy and Sadie gave them a crown when they came.

First we made necklaces. All of the girls got to pick out whatever beads they wanted for there necklaces. This was a hit and they had so much fun picking out whatever they wanted.

Then we played some games, polished nails, and ate parfaits (fancy word for ice cream sundaes).

Maddox would not let me feed him his ice cream, he wanted to do it himself. Then he cried because I think it was to cold.

We played pin the heart on the necklace.

Then opened presents!

She got so many fun and cute things!

Here they all are! I will be giving each of the girls this picure with there thank you cards Sadie is going to make.

We are so thankful to have Sadie in our family. She is such a good helper. She loves school and plays teacher everyday after school. She loves to read now and is doing very good in school.

Easter 2011

We had a good Easter Weekend! On Saturday the kids colored eggs. They couldn't wait for the Easter hunt and dinner later that day at my sister Melissa's house. There were a TON of eggs. The kids had so much fun finding them and when they were done they opened each one to see what was inside. The Easter Bunny came later that night. (Sorry some of the pics are blurry)

Eggs all colored

All the kids minus Maddox. He wouldn't stay in the picture.

Easter Baskets

I had fun with them this year.

Maddox in the middle of everything....

Before church.

Maddox never looks at the camera. He's interested in the rocks instead.

Sadie

Savanna

Maddox.....once again playing with rocks.

Happy St. Patricks Day

Maddox did not want to hold still to take a picture.

Today we went to Kids Club of course and then ate at Olive Garden for lunch with friends.

Loves his weekly carousal ride....

Sadie was so excited to go to kids club today. She hasn't been in such a long time.
