~Easter 2011~

The kids both had so much fun on Easter morning. It was a big difference for Dax compared to last year. They were both so excited when they saw their baskets and both loved finding eggs. The Easter bunny spoiled them as usual and hid a whole lot of eggs both inside and out. They were even spoiled by mommy & daddy and also grandma & papa.



Caineville Wash~Spring 2011

We love to go camping and riding four wheelers and the kids love it even more. Every year we go camping at Caineville Wash with Brett's parents, Rick and Judi. Rather than going camping on easter weekend this year, we decided to go about a week before Easter. The kids had so much fun riding their bikes, playing in the dirt, climbing the hills, and even rolling eggs down the hills. Our friend Steven also came with his three kids, which Rylee loved because it gave her lots of kids to play with. They roasted marshmallows, played games, rode their bikes and even watched a movie together. They all get along great!

Both the kids did such so good on their four wheelers all by themselves. Dax rode around camp really well and steers his way around stuff perfectly. Rylee did so good and would ride all by herself on long rides. She would follow behind us so good. She is getting too big for words!

100% GIRL

It doesn't seem to matter how old our little Rylee-Bug gets, she always loves to wear make-up and play dress up. If its not dress-up, she is wearing old dance costumes and dancing around to music. She loves to dance. Here is a picture of her from April 23, 2011. She came out to model it for grandma Judi & Papa and I quickly got a picture of her.

Our Handsome Boy

What more can I say...he is such a handful but so handsome and we love him to pieces. Although it takes some work to get pictures of him, every once in a while I am able to succeed at tricking him into taking a good picture. I love the way these turned out.

The Cinderella Pageant

On April 2, 2011, Rylee participated in the Cinderella pageant. She had so much fun doing it and is so cute out there on the stage. I really enjoy watching her and seeing how happy it makes her to do it. She was pretty tired by the end of the day since she had played a soccer game that morning and then we ran home and got her ready and headed straight to the pageant and was there until at least 10 pm that night.

With this pageant they do their back stage interview, then they have their casual wear on stage, their on stage interview, and then they have their party wear on stage. She did great at all of them and had such "pretty feet" on stage.

She ended up taking "Overall Photogenic" for her division and received a sash, crown and plaque. She was exstatic. I love seeing her get so proud of herself. We love you Rylee-Bug and could not be more proud of you. Just seeing her have so much fun makes it fun for us too.

Four Wheeler Fun!!!

Dax has been riding his little four wheeler since he was two years old and he absolutely loves it. He can fly around on this thing at high speed and drives like a little pro. Although it does scare mom a little, he loves it. These pictures were taken on March 27, 2011, so he had just turned two and has an absolute blast and does such a great job. Both Rylee and Dax caught on to riding four wheelers very quickly and at a young age. Rylee was only 21 months when she started riding one and Dax 24 months.
