#1 Gracie's Ballet Recital
After eight months of practice, we finally got to see Gracie dance in stage in her first ever ballet recital. She did a great job.
Performing to "Cinderella". Of course, she's the tallest one in the class.
Posing after the performance. Do you think she was tired of smiling yet?
Watching Sophie was also a show in itself. She was completely glued to every performance. She still talks about her favorite ones.
#2: Beating Jake at Scrabble for the FIRST TIME in our married life!
It came down to the wire, which it made the victory even sweeter!
Good game, Jake.
#3: Gracie got Sophie to go poo-poo in the potty.
Our little potty-trainer and potty-trainee united every night for a few days without much direction from Jake and I to practice sitting on the big potty. One night, Jake and I were sitting in the living room when we heard 'sounds' coming from the bathroom. Then we heard Gracie say, "Sophie, let me check and see. Good job Sophie! You get a treat!" It was quite exciting for all! (note: this experience does not translate into Sophie actually being potty trained....that will come at a later date...hopefully)
#4: Our last snow drift melted. Enough said!
#5: Going to the 'Baby Animal Days' event
We had SO much fun going to this event for the second year in a row. It is worth the drive if any friends or family want to join us next year! Here's a few of the MANY photos I took:
When asked on the ride home what their favorite thing was, riding the horsies was their favorite. Sophie cried when she had to leave her horse, Chocolate. 
Sophie, moments before she spontaneously dropped the turtle. She was holding so still.
Chillin' with the baby calf.
Gracie holding the baby bunny. I couldn't believe how calm all the animals were, considering they had been passed around for three days by kids!
Is Sophie feeding her bunny taffy? I didn't catch that until after I downloaded the pics.
Gracie won the Grand Prize at the treasure hunt booth when she picked the golden ping-pong ball. But she didn't really want the skateboard that they were offering her, so she opted for some Lincoln Logs that they had instead. She clung to these like they were her pride and joy. She loved talking about it when people asked her how she got them. Good job, Gracie!
I love this picture. It makes me wonder who is looking at who?

Your Girls are SOO cute! We need to come out and see you before they get too old! Mike would have loved going to the baby-farm activity, we go to Pets-Mart almost every weekend to go look at the puppies and other animals.

I loved all the pictures. I can't wait to put Hailey in dance. I think it is so cute. Hope to see you guys soon. If you're down here we should do another picnic with everyone!
yep. still so cute.
Okay, I know all you hear is that your kids are the cutest, BUT THEY ARE. They are THE CUTEST creatures I have ever laid my eyes upon. I am such a proud auntie. That picture of Soph at the receital is the hoots. Intense just like her father. We can't wait to see you guys again in August.
Girls and boys are so different! It is so fun to see all those cute pics. I'd better get going with Ty and the potty training thing. It would be disgraceful to have Sophie beat him. We've been trying, but he isn't all that interested.
I thought the same thing that Matt and Leigh did about the Sophie picture watching ballet. I've seen that face a million times on her father before her. big time dejahvoo.
You guys are so cute!
Have I mentioned that your sweet little family makes me want GIRLS!?!? Don't get me wrong, trucks and balls and rocks are great fun... but nothing can compare to Cinderella Ballet!!
