Celia's 4th Birthday

Celia had her first b-day party with friends. She had a great time hitting the pinata, eating the cake and opening presents!

Roddick

Andy Roddick made an apperance at the Special Olympics here in Lincoln so we went to watch him play.

Ferris Wheel

We went to Omaha to get a new tennis racquet and the Scheel's there has a huge ferris wheel! Celia and I had fun riding it while Allie watched from below.

Firepit

Hanging out by the firepit...

3D

The kids saw Toy Story 3 in 3D. It was their 2nd 3D movie (first was Alice in Wonderland)

Anniversary

It was our 12th anniversary so we went to the Oven (never been before in 12 years in Lincoln!) and had some drinks. Allie took this picture for us :-)

Allie's Camp

Allie had a great time at camp this week with her friend Emily. She went swimming, fishing, did archery, go-karts, nature walks, cooked outdoors and even spent the night on the last night. On the overnight they had a bonfire, watched fireworks and slept in a tent!

Tie Dye Party

Allie's softball team had boring white uniforms, until we TIE-DYED them ! Now they look super cute and much cooler than the other teams :-)

Concert

Allie had her 2nd Grade Musical at the end of May.

Guitar

Allie saved up her money for a new guitar! Lessons will start soon......

Card

The best Mother's Day card ever!

Recital

Allie had her big dance recital on Mother's Day weekend. She did really well and had such a pretty dress!

Mall

Some days we go to the mall to kill time.......not always a good choice as I can't NOT go into the stores!

More Gymnastics

Celia had another "Parent Observation Day" at gymnastics. There's only one other 3-year old in there, and the others are all 4 and 5. She's really good at it and looks forward to it every week.

Swimming

Celia started Level 2 swimming and has Allie's old instructor, Ms. Sandy, who also works at the licorice store (cool!) - she seems to be doing very well. Although she does miss Miss Sue.

New Baby!

We saw cousin Jenny's new baby this week. Cora is only a few weeks old and very cute. Lots of dark hair :-)

Allie rides bike!

Allie learned how to ride a bike this week and now that's all she wants to do. VEry exciting!! Can't wait to hit the bike trails. Celia still rides her 3-wheeler, even though she does have a bike w/training wheels.

Easter

The girls dyed Easter eggs and got baskets in the morning. Not too much candy this year, but Celia inhaled everything she got!

Happy Easter!

Celia met the Easter Bunny a few days before Easter at the Racquet Club :-)

Spring Break

The girls and I drove up to Minnesota for their Spring Break. We saw all the family and went to Mall of America. THe girls went to the aquarium and Rainforest Cafe this time - they really liked the monkeys in the walls!

Shamrock Cookies

We made some shamrock cookies today - my very favorite cookies in the whole world :-)

Gymnastics

Celia has moved up to the next level in gymnastics. We can only watch during "observation day" and we had our first one. She's getting really good! For the youngest kid in there, she definitely has the most skills.
