The Big Recital is Here!!!

Eily danced in the first of two year end recitals today (the other is tomorrow...it is exactly the same). She had a great time and told me that she had "super fun" and loved being up on stage where everybody could see her. Dad took his DSLR and his 300mm lens and did the best that he could to get pictures. Because of the low-light and no flash rule, they are a little fuzzy and blurry...but, enjoy none the less.

FYI...any picture that I'm not specifically zoomed in on her, she is the one of the far left.

Eily the model and Cav makes a discovery

We had a fun weekend. Eily spent some time deciding that she wanted to model for the camera. Dad played with his new Flip HD camecorder. And Cavan discovered something new...look below.


Let me pose, Daddy!!!










Cavan discovers the joys of chocolate!

It's almost Recital time...

End of the year recital is coming up and it was the day for class pictures...so I thought I'd give everyone a sneak peak of Eily's recital outfit. I had planned to do pictures as she was getting ready and then when she was ready...but dad was too dumb to actually check and make sure the camera battery was charged. So all we have are after pics...enjoy.







Yup...she's a squirrel!!

Fun with Easter

We had a great Easter here in Washington this year. As is becoming somewhat of a tradition, Grandma and Grandpa came out here to share the holiday with all of us. We had a blast!!! Enjoy the pictures....

The Joy of Birthday Presents

Eily has been having a great time with all the things that she got for her birthday. She locked herself away for 2 hours after Dad put her new castle in her room. Cavan is no longer allowed in her room!!! We played some of the board games that I got her...the first board games she's ever played...our current score on Candyland: Eily 6, Daddy 1. But today she was running around and I just had to take some pictures that show just how fun birthday presents can really be...

Look at me...I'm stylin' now!!




Yup, I'm 5 now...see.
