First Day of Preschool, Ballerinas and More

Hayden, Payson and Madison ready for their first day of preschool!

Best friends forever!

Kisses from my sisters- YUCK! (Actually, he loves it.)

The girls are loving their dance class. Hayden is always dancing around at home showing me what she has learned. But she also gets some good free stylin' going. We love dance parties in our house!

Nine adorable ballet beauties. (Madison and Hayden far right)

Cute as can be!

In other random news, we checked out a local science center with some friends and the kids had a great time. Surprisingly there were plenty of activities for the younger kids including this pulley and parachute system that Payson loved and perfected.

Madison made like a whale by touching ice first with a plain Ziploc bag and again with one filled with blubber. She learned that the blubber keeps whales warm even in very cold water.

We recently had my childhood dollhouse refurbished for the kids. It's amazing how good of shape it is in and how high quality the wood is. We furnished it with some great, although a bit too delicate, furniture which includes everything from a nursery to a formal dining room. It's pretty fancy in there!

And, of course, the kids loved it!

Back to life-sized news, Keith and I were part of a cooking competition with and against some of Keith's co-workers at a recent work event. We had set ingredients we had to use in a set amount of time. Our Cannonball, aka fried avocado stuffed with flank steak and cheese, was amazing and won us the "Best Presentation" award. Thanks to Scott's brilliant idea and Keith's mad cooking skills, we managed to pull off cooking something that none of us had ever made before!
