I think we have a sneak-

Caught Viley sneaking a pop tart yesterday afternoon-don't know why she thought she had to hide it but Nesta staring at the pillows on the couch gave her away!

What to do with this silly one?!

by the way, she doesn't like clothes so I never know how I will find her!

Last day of school!

As of one o'clock today is summer! Can't believe it! Viley is so excited Lu will be home!(me too!) Lots of fun coming to the Wilder gals

End of year picnic

although, Lu's official last day is tomorrow, her class had a picnic last Thursday to celebrate the year. Lu loved school and is sad for it to be over. She really had a great group of kids in class and two wonderful teachers.

I loved listening to her stories and I always knew what everyone did for the day. I heard from a lot of parents that Lu was a special friend for their child. I know her kindness and love for others was helpful with her buddies. She always makes be so proud!

Funny story-Liam and Lu started the year rocky and I learned quickly that Lu was concerned because he didn't seem to get along. Lu vowed to me, her teachers and his mom she was "going to make him a good friend". The other night we were saying our prayers and she mentioned that she "was proud of Liam for becoming a good friend."

I am so thankful for this year and the positive influence it has been for her!

Hard to believe it is over so quick!

This picture makes me smile! Please know we aren't completely bad neighbors!! The girls love to have popsicles and I had given each of them one. I went to put Nesta in and came back to this! She never surprises me!

Video clip-

Our neighbor, Mr.Pink(dana's dad) shared his video of the performance with his camera. Hope you enjoy!

Kidgits night at South Park

Friday night was Kidgits at South Park Mall- the girls always enjoy some time at the mall! It was Princess Night and here they are at work on their crowns!

Viely starts Dancin!

Viley finally got to start dance classes this week!!! Our first day didn't go as well as I would have thought. She was so excited to start and had talked about it all day. She got to class started fine and then 10 mins in started crying! She came out saying "no teacher, I want home" It broke my heart... but she still wanted to dance! So went back Tuesday and Lu's teacher from last year was the teacher and she did wonderful! Miss Seane knows Violet and is great with her. She is so excited to be like big sis! She wore the same outfit Lu did on her first day!

Lu is taking gymnastics for the summer and so excited with our neighbor Dana joining her! I was so hoping my girls would be able to be at the studio at the same time but that's not the case! So we will be spending two nights a week there but worth it for them to enjoy themselves!

Blue bird

We have some babies! "alice" the blue bird has made our backyard her home for the babies. This is Alice(the dad) bringing the babies food. I don't know how many since they moved into the house without the window view but hopefully we will be able to see more as the babies get bigger. We hear the so it's still fun to watch

Play time with Leo

Viley's friend AO(leo) was able to come play one morning last week. Violet held his hand most of the time and was very concerned with his hydration- she would hand him his cup and say "drink AO". It was really fun seeing the two of them alone with out the big sis's around

Funky Town

Her admirers

Lu's recital was this past weekend and she really has come along way! Last year she got "cold" feet but not this year. Still refused the make up(not that she needs it!) She was really ready and I'm so glad she enjoyed herself! Both sets of grandparents were there for support. Our neighbor Dana also took this year and it was fun for the two of them to enjoy this together. Lu danced to Blue Sweaty Shoes(Suede Shoes) and Monkey Town(funky town)- we have not been able to correctly say them according to her! Being her second year, she has gotten to know a lot of the "big" girls and she was so funny watching them perform. She didn't want to stop watching and enjoyed pointing them out while we were watching the rehearsal. Good job Lula belle!

catching up!!

WOW! where is the time going??! Here are a few pics from our trip to PG a few weeks ago- Grace was sick so we stayed inside most of the time. The girls wanted to be right under her when she started feeling better. Violet was able to help my mom make some candy and she ENJOYED it!
