Lemonade and Tangled

Last weekend Jessye and me
decided to have a garage sale
to get rid of a lot of junk that we cleaned out.
Oh - mainly because we are
MOVING!!!
Yes - we bought a house!
It is only about 4 blocks away -
but bigger and more of
"forever" home for us!
So excited!

Allikaye and Mallory
decided that a Lemonade Stand
would be the coolest thing
during our garage sale.

Here they each wrote their names on their sign...

Getting serious...

The professional sellers...
Allikaye told her first customer it would be
$10. Then she changed her mind to 25 cents.

Jessye and Kaida manning the garage sale.
Then came one of her
best friends' bday parties...
Delaney turned 5!!

Here are the girls in their Tangled shirts!

Such sweet friends...

A little coloring...

The mamas...

A little tree climbing...

Getting ready to smack Flynn with a frying pan...

Laura spinning AK...

VERY fun weekend!
We sold a lot of the junk
that we now don't have to move to our new house!
And we made some money that went directly into the
"IKEA Account!"
The new Denver Ikea opens
the same week we close on our house!
Woohoo!

Oh - and I am obsessed with Pinterest...fyi.

XTREME CHALLENGE!

Thanks to my friend, Wendy,
she hooked up a date night for about
16 couples to go to the
Xtreme Challenge Arena
Oh.yeah.
It had a lot of the same type of
events/challenges like the
old school American Gladiator show...
remember that?
Unfortunately,
we didn't have those awesome
patriotic outfits...
but we did battle! ha!

Laura, me and Jessye.
X treme for sure!

We started off doing the
Human Wrecking Ball...
here is Wendy and her hubby Mike...
this was my favorite one
(maybe because I sent Matt FLYING into the ball pit on this one!)

Matt and me jousting it out...
I may have been the first to knock my Mr. off -
but don't tell anyone.

We did a little
"Human Jenga"

This picture isn't us...
but it shows the crazy spinner thing.
This was #1 that played a part in the "after" events
of this fun night.

Jessye, me and Wendy still spinning after the "ride" stopped.

Tough girls...

This is crazy spinner #2.
Jessye and me.
In retrospect, we REALLY should have stopped here.
No more spinning would have been a really
good.
idea.

But did we?
Nope.
Here is crazy spinner #3.
This red beast, spun us tooooo fast.
And was the evil contraption that
had Jessye and me both throwing up
after!
YECH!!!

Definitely not as young as we used to be!

Here is Matt and Stentz..

Matt tearing it up on the BMX challenge...

It was a super fun place!
Maybe more fun if I was younger?
But I only say that because of the after effects of the crazy spinners!

We are XTREME!!!
uh, huh.

She is a dancing queen...

Here is my girl...
pre-recital,
getting her pictures done...

Sweet pose, girl...

Yes, she is the one with her chin w.a.y. up...
hehe!

Ole!

She wanted me to take a picture of her pretty curls
on recital day...

Possibly the highlight of her big day...
her bf Mallory came to watch her!!

She rocked the performance!!
She did her
"Hot, How Hot" dance perfectly!!

We were so proud of her!
Allikaye was the leader of the train in the dance.
And she was the first one to start the line of skipping!
Yay, AK!

Ak and her dancing friend, Estee.

This girl LOVES getting flowers!

Such a special day.

I'm pretty sure that smile says it all...
she loves the attention! :0)

Mallory was so sweet!
She was telling Allikaye that she was a really good dancer...
hehe!

Getting some love from Popa!

Precious.
I am so thankful that Allikaye is in such
a great dance program!

I am more than proud of my pretty girl!

Summer...summer...summer....

Allikaye's first year of preschool
is over!
That went f.a.s.t!

Here are some pictures from
her rainforest presentation.
They sang a few songs to us,
while wearing their snakes
made from one of daddy's ties.
Such a colorful, fun, classroom...
Singing away...

Allikaye and her friend, Jayla...
who isn't too into the presentation! :0)

Singing praises in the backyard...

This is what we hear a lot...
Allikaye singing her sweet heart out!
Most times she is making up her own lyrics...
other times they are a mix of her own and lyrics she's heard.
Either way - she belts the songs out!

I had to grab my camera and record
her when I heard her out in the backyard...
She is awesome!

Happy last week of school for us!

Woohoo!

Happy Snowy May!

This is what we woke up to the other day...

Mother's Day weekend was filled
with planting pretty flowers...
hikes around pretty lakes...
and a nice sunburn.

THEN...
here it is...
SNOW!!!
Come on, Colorado!

Yeesh!

But this pretty girl brightened up the snowy weather!

She had her dance pictures this week...
getting ready for the recital which is in 2 weeks!
Side pony prettiness...

They are dancing to
"Hot, Hot, Hot! Ole, Ole"

A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E

Miss Sassy Pants...

With one of her BF's, Lauren...

And I will leave you with a pose...

The snow is all melting now...
and we are ready to gear up for summer!
One more full week of teaching...
and Allikaye's last week of her 1st year of school...
then more pretty flowers...
hikes...
sunburns...
and hopefully
no.more.snow!!
