Happy Memorial Day!

The girls had matching holiday outfits but the lovely Wisconsin weather didn't allow us to really see them (because of the jackets and blanket). Well, it wasn't that cold but Ella decided to cover up anyways. We had fun at the parade and as Ella shared with us, "All the candy was my favorite!" We did take a quick picture once we got home though while the girls were waving their flags from the parade.

A Taste of Summer (soon to come)!

We spent some time at Memorial Park this weekend and checked out the gardens and visited with the frogs and of course checked out the park.

These particular photos captured each of the girls personalities. I tried my best but wasn't able to get a good one of all three of the girls together...the sun was too bright and I ended up with someone not looking or squinting or looking down...not too good but I do LOVE these...

Ella pondering..."Where are the frogs anyways?!?"

Lauren just being happy!

"Goodnight My Angel"

Addison performed in a ballet performance to "Goodnight My Angel" - (Billy Joel's song). I think her favorite part was taking a bow at the end and hanging out with her friends-similar to last year:) They all did a great job! The past two years she took a combination tap/ballet class but next year she hopes to do poms.

She warned me before going to the performance, NOT to call out her name. Addison said I should just clap like everyone else! She is TOO funny...like I would ever do that?!? That's Addison for you...

Ella was very excited because after the recitals, she has been waiting for months to wear Addison's dance outift so her "dream came true"!

Feeling like a Princess and looking like one!

One proud little sister who feels special she FINALLY gets to wear the outfit!

Spring is Here...finally!

It's been a long Winter but last weekend we put up the swings on the swingset and we're ready for Spring (warmer weather and most importantly NO MORE snow)! The girls took some bike rides and enjoyed the low 60's. In the forecast, 70 degrees for next weekend...whoo-hoo!!!

They loved every minute of it!

Lauren hits double digits...10 months

Looks who is standing for bits of time now!

And then going down to crawl around...
