The singlets

This week Derek was asked to help out with a wrestling camp for younger kids, so Derek decided to take the boys to their first wrestling practice.
They loved it!! And they got to come home with these little adorable singlets. My favorite thing was Zak when we put it on him we told him it was called a singlet, he immediately starts singing and dancing to " all the singlets" Like "all the single ladies" It was so adorable.
I think this is the beginning of a lot of wrestling that is going to take place around our house from these two little guys. I love them so much!!

Easter at the Downeys

We always enjoy going to Grandma and Grandpa Downeys on Sunday nights
Grandma had given the kids some fun easter presents that they were so excited about.

Here is the "silly string" fight that broke out!!
Thanks Downeys for being such amazing grandparents. We love you!!!

Derek turns 31.

Easter egg hunt at Grandma's

My mom every year does a fun Easter egg hunt with all the grandkids. they always look forward to it and get hooked up with Candy.

Random fun

Here are some of the latest pictures of the kids. Dom and Zak are still as in love with trains as ever, and they are just the best of buddies.
This is Lexi and her best friend Carsen. They have been best friends all through this kindergarten year and she loves nothing more than to have him come over. And I love hearing the two of them talk and giggle together. Every once in awhile I hear them declare their love for one another:)
Kali is just so creative and smart. One of her favorite things right now is writing chapter books. They are amazing!! I can't believe how creative her little mind is. They are quiet entertaining to read. She also loves singing and music. She loves to go to her room and turn on the music and sing as loud as she can. She is so much fun!!!

Then there is our little LU!! This is a picture of some of the kids with my little niece Grace. I babysit her often and I love having her around. She has so much personality and the kids love playing with her. Here they all are after Derek had been wrestling and throwing them all on the bed. They love when Daddy comes home, and Grace hopped right in.

The girls dance peformance

The girls had their big dance performance this week, and it was fantastic! Their theme was "The Secret Garden" and it was such a darling little performance. Kali was a maid and Lexi was a rainbow. They had so much fun and loved being on stage. Afterwards I took them for some ice cream to celebrate what a great job they did. Way to go ladies!!
