Springtime equals Dance Competitions

Yep, you know it's springtime at our house when Saturdays are consumed with dance!  So far we have been to two competitions and brought home four 1st place awards and two 2nd place awards. We are excited that Whitney and her team are doing so well again this year!!  She will compete again two more times this month.  Let us know if you'd like to come and help us cheer her on.  :)

Self Portrait

Lindsie drew this picture of herself and was SO proud!  I knew it wouldn't last so I asked to take her picture.  Decided to post it here so that it wouldn't get lost and forgotten in my picture files.  :)  Obviously Whitney helped with her name, but I'm pretty sure the rest is all Lindsie.

20 months

Colin is now 20 months old....the same age Lindsie was when he was born.  This is so crazy to me!  I can't believe she was such a baby and yet I needed her to act and be such a BIG girl!  Many times I feel so bad for forcing her to grow up so quickly during that time.  Yet, it was necessary for my survival and sanity with 2 babies to take care of!!  I am grateful to have experienced that time in my life and the lives of my kids, but hope none of them will need therapy for it in the future. :)
At his 18 month check up Colin was 32.5" tall (54%), and weighed 24 pounds (23%).  He is such a BOY! He loves balls, trucks and cars, and all the noises that go with them.  It is amazing how he just "knew"to love these things despite all the princess, barbie, and girly things that were around him.  :)  Colin is growing up so quickly, yet will always be my baby.  He can say quite a few words and loves to make lots of sounds and noises.  He loves dancing with the girls, especially to "The Time" by The Black Eyed Peas.  It is hilarious and darling too!

Saying "cheese" while waiting to see Whitney dance

Crazy BOY!!!

"Bubble"

Colin's new favorite word.  "Bubble"  And this is why...

Yes, that's his "cheese".  Such a happy kid. :)

Lindsie is always the instigator of having a bath in the jetted tub.  She and Colin both have so much fun, and I love to watch them play together.  Just wish it was less of a mess when they were done. :)
