Cienna - 7 Years, 2 Months!... Kaylee - 4 Years, 9 Months!

As always, we know how to keep busy.  Mommy's taking charge of Cienna's Girl Scout Troop Talent Show act in May, so she led 2 rehearsals this month.  After the first one she went out and had fun with some other mom's to watch an 80's cover band play.  The next morning Mommy helped Roman judge for his team and Rylee's soccer tryouts.  After that the whole family met up again with all of the Bakx for Stone's sporty Birthday party at the park.  During the week Uncle Matt was in Los Angeles for work so we all got to meet up with him for dinner one night.  Long Beach Parks put on a Snow Day the following weekend at a local park, and we joined another Birthday party at the soccer park for Annie.

The next week was Dr. Seuss birthday, so there was plenty of reading and school activities including a fun reading assembly, and pajama day.  Carver also put on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) night.  It was well organized and the kids had a great time.

We did manage to have some fun at home and at nearby parks and pet stores as well this month.  We even brought out Mommy's wedding dress for what we believe was the first time in almost 12 years.  We were also sure to make time to start our garden.  We had been prepping for a while getting the soil weed free and mulched.  All the veggies are doing great so far.

The last weekend for this month Daddy headed to San Diego to enjoy and celebrate Uncle Joe's bachelor party that he and Uncle Matt did a great job of planning.  Meanwhile the girls found "Where the Side Walk Ends" while riding their bikes to feed the ducks at the duck pond.  Then enjoyed a huge race car themed birthday party for one of Cienna's classmates.  All first graders were invited.

Cienna got to take a walking field trip to the Los Altos shopping center to learn about goods and services.  She also had 2 out of 3 planned orthodontist consultations.  Looks like that will be happening soon.  She earned another patch at her girl scout meeting, and got talent show yearbook pictures taken at school.  Continues to enjoy gymnastics, and has even had Sierra as a coach a few times this month.  Tooth number 8 easily came right before a bedtime.  One showcase talent for the month is her ability to be friends with everyone by her genuine kindness, even if others are beginning to explore their attitudes!

Kaylee got to try on and take home her first gymnastics team leotard.  She has been working hard on her tricks and routines, and loving every minute.  After growing an inch in two months, she now can touch her tippie toes, therefore ride the bigger bike with appropriate sized wheels : )  We had her, and ours as a family, final parent teacher conference with Ms. Deanna at Petite Montessori.  She is really becoming a great student and a class leader.  She even fit right in with the first grade class when we happen to be around helping out and they had an odd number of kids for their computer coding activity.

Didn't bring out the camera quite as much this much, still plenty of smiles!
