Cienna - 8 Years, 2 Months!... Kaylee - 5 Years, 9 Months!

Daddy and Uncle RJ enjoyed a magnificent deep sea fishing trip together with friends while Mommy took the girls to an unbelievable twins 6th birthday party held at the Long Beach Convention Center complete with 8 humongous jump houses, human hamster balls, face painting, etc...., and most of all many great friends!

Kaylee practiced many times and was the star of the entire Kinder/TK sing along Love Show!  She nailed it.  Daddy got to watch in person and took a video for the rest of us to see.  We had a great pizza making weekend and worked around the house.

The next week we welcomed Lula as a much wanted guest who joined us in the excitement of Kaylee loosing her first tooth!  Not the chipped one that she has had since she was 18 months old for those of you who have read our blog for that long : )  Also during that week we had fun with Read Across America Week in honor of Dr. Seuss.  Sports jersey, then twin day (Cienna and Elliot, Kaylee and Kamryn), green eggs and ham breakfast, wild about reading, and pajama day which co-insides with one of many talent show practices this past month.

A fun daisy Easter Egg hunt was a success for a Daisy Troop meeting and a badge ceremony was held for the Brownies.

We got our finances explained after a not such a great year for money.  Good thing we are not retiring anytime soon.... that's a strange thing to say : )  On a better note, both girls advanced in gymnastics, which gave more times together for dinner as they both are now on the same Tuesday and Thursday schedule.  They had good dental check-ups with x-rays.  Cienna needs to remember that it is harder to brush with braces.  The dentist appointment was not Kaylee's first x-ray this month.  Turns out that she has a broken collar bone.  We aren't sure exactly how it happened, but think it came down to speeding around in the backyard with her sister, or jumping off the roof... who knows.

We all enjoyed learning about Norway this month for Cienna's culture project.  She has been enjoying Mommy teaching her girl scout troop for the talent show coming up.  She would hands down tell you that her favorite thing about this month is moving up to Pre-3 in gymnastics!  She enjoyed her badge earning ceremony, remembering all that her troop has done since the fall.  Mommy enjoyed sewing them all on at the same time.  She looks forward to earning a part in the Wizard of Oz for her upcoming drama club for the 2nd and 3rd graders at school!

So some memorable occasions happened for Kaylee this month.  We thought the biggest one would be loosing her very first tooth.... not so much.  She had to one up that and go and break her collar bone.  It is fully broken, check out the picture!  We can't remind her enough how broken it is.  She had a fun Easter egg hunt with her Daisy troop the day after Urgent Care.  Somehow we'll get her through the next few weeks without damage right?  She also was super proud to move up as the youngest to be in Pre-Team and has her round-off backhand spring easily by herself (doesn't help with the broken bone).  She has continued to advance in reading and has amazing handwriting.

Porter's highlight this month was definitely having Lula here for a week to share in his non-stop shenanigans and fun!

Thanks for reading or at least enjoy the pictures!
