we made it . . .

. . through our first dance competition. Brei did a great job. I'm so proud of how hard she works at things. We got to spend a little quality time with Grandpa & Grandma. The kids loved it, but it definitely wasn't long enough. Brodyn got quite attached to Grandpa - it was sweet until bedtime :)

We also made it through the first attempt at sibling pictures that we've done in a long time. Unfortunately we didn't get a good one of all of them. Brodyn was quite put out with his sisters and didn't want to sit that close to them. Yes, its funny NOW.

I made it through another pain-filled day and felt good about what I accomplished. I love having the kids at home to snuggle with (which is only happening because it is cold and rainy today). They are all so perfect in their own individual ways.

Loving tax returns and new backdrops!

I absolutely adore this picture of Ainsli - I didn't let her keep the Spring picture packet that the school does, so I promised I would take pictures of her when I got my new backdrop. What a doll . . .

pretty good for after-school hair. I can't believe she left it in for once!

Brodyn had to get in on the action too. I'm so lucky that my kids don't mind being photographed, because then I'd have no one to practice on. Here's to the start of our spring break - yeah!
