in the park

we enjoyed our first day at the park this summer. bron even kept on her oversized hat.

magnus set out to make a gun while there. he used a couple of sticks and some grass to tie them together. the grass unfortunatly didn't hold too well so there was a few tears as a result, but he sat and worked at it for at least 15 minutes trying to make it work.

i am so glad that summer is finally here. now i can only hope the northwest weather will hold up.

the day in seattle

we all went to seattle last saturday to spend some time with family. (grandma and grandpa + uncle and his family) we started off the day at the pacific science center. we didn't have much time in the morning so bron and i went to the butterfly exibit while everyone else watched a movie.

here are some pic from the butterfly exibit

when we all were done we went for a ride on the ducks. that was alot more fun than i thought it would be. bron however at first would not agree with me. she screamed for the whole tour of seattle. but than when we left the rode and headed out to sea she couldn't have been happier.

here is bron after she came to terms with the duck ride.

here is thisbe with holding on tight while we were on highway 99. i was a bit scared as well. (you know, roller coaster ride scared)

after the ducks ride we had lunch that went back to the science center. i enjoyed the dinosaur bone exibit they have there right now.  when we were getting ready to leave magnus discovered the magic mirrors. he thought it was so funny and couldn't stop laughing. thisbe got in on the fun too. than i had to see what was sooooo funny. maybe it was because i was so tired or maybe it was really funny but i was caught up by all the sillyness too. anyway here's what we were looking at, you be the judge.

last sale of the year

thisbe's bakery had its 7th sale tonight. this was her final sale of the year. she set out to sell some yummy chocolate chip and sugar cookie surprise cookies.  even with the stiff competition of free dessert, she made a $10 profit. this took her total sales for the year to $43.33. all this will be donated to charity.

on display are her advertisement signs from the year.

Great Job Thisbe!!

final piano recital

yesterday was the kiddies final piano recital with jennifer.

here they are before the recital. a bit nervous.

bron wasn't nervous be she looked cute that day.

and here are a couple of pics from during the recital. they both did great.

thisbe playing "beauty and the beast".

magnus surprised me with a duet with his teacher. (it sounded so sweet)

i'm sad that it wont work for jen to give piano lessons anymore. (she's got her first babe coming next month.) she did such a great job with my kids. this isn't the end of piano lessons, however. they start with their new teacher tomorrow.

well, i'll leave you today with a cute picture of bronwyn. i just love how little girls look in their cute spring dresses.
