Happy Birthday Daddy-O

Happy Birthday Bryan. We have missed you while you have been traveling for work. We are extremely proud of all of the wonderful work you have done recently with Autism Speaks and the Autism insurance law here in AZ. You are awesome. Thank you for being you.

Let's Play Music Recital

Emma had her first music recital on April 30, 2011 (Daddy's birthday)

She was very excited and so were we

Three cutie pies

Claire, Emma and Lauren have had so much fun together in music this past year. It was awesome to see them perform with huge smiles

The girls with Ms. Rosanne (by far the best music teacher I have known)

A treat at the new ice cream shop by our house - complete with jute box and Ms.Pac man

little Girl's Night

We got together with a few little friends on Friday night for a "little" Girls Night. They had a blast eating pizza and playing. They loved getting into their PJs to watch Mary Poppins and eat popcorn and icecream. They stayed up late...until 8:30pm. What a fun time.

Saturday Fun

7th annual Pat Tillman run

The girls are quite the troopers, getting up at 5am, waiting patiently for the race to start since we were in corral 27 with the other strollers and running their hearts out in the kids race !! What a fabulous day.

YAY ! We ran into Emma's friend Reagan from Montessori that she ran with last year. They ran the first half of the kids race together.

Caitlyn ran the whole .42 mile kids race- way to go sister bear, we are so proud of you.

ya gotta run fast to keep up with these little ladies

Caitlyn had been sooo excited for the race. When I would put her down for her nap the last few days she would ask "is the race after nap?"

a day of firsts...

C's first Pat's Kids run and

first horseback ride at the Arbor Day festival in our neighborhood

Princess Caitlyn

Caitlyn has been on a princess kick lately. She runs up to the loft and puts on her Cinderella dress and her accessories. It is the most adorable thing.
