Spring will eventually spring in this blog...

The girls took a cheerleading class in January and seemed to enjoy it.




We had lots of big fun in February!  Matt, Finley, and Harper attended their first Daddy/Daughter dance at the club!  I got the night off - YEH!










Our friend, Catherine had a Cinderella birthday party at the club, and it was super fun!


Awesome face painting and balloon animals…and hold on Cinderella will turn into Elsa from FROZEN at Catherine's sister's - Maddie's birthday party!



Sister snuggle bunnies!  

Our second snow/ice storm was great for making snow things!









Finley's 6th Birthday - My little pony theme!  We had a blast!  


Finley and I created Rainbow Dash for pin-the-tail-on-the pony game!!!!  A big hit!


Craft time!


Dance time!






Teddy strutting his stuff!!!

Finley and Harper spinning!

That $10 how-to-draw my little pony book really paid off!


Leo is always in the mix!



She requested a giant cookie for her birthday instead of a cake!  


Beautiful day in sunshine painting the sun catchers that Grandma Susie sent for Fin's bday.



Valentine's Day at preschool!



Road trip to Nashville for Maverick's 2nd birthday.  We love Mav's toys!



Oliver just wants to know when the party will be over!

Jungle food!



Despite the cold winter, we have had some sunbathing days, too!  Dixie and Montana love it!



Finley made her first trip to SkyZone for her friend, Mia's birthday party!  Super fun!


Matt at the Cheesecake Factory - not very paleo, Weinstein!


We made a trip to Iowa for Grandpa Joel's 70th birthday party!  


They loved helping him blow out his trick candles!

A whole lot of Weinsteins - Aunt Fran, Uncle Larry, Grandpa Joel, and Grandma Liz!

Cousins Amy and Grant, Aunt Stephie, and Grandma Susie from Burlington joined us in Ankeny for some hotel pool fun!


Hard to see picture of Harper at her tennis lesson - just look for the biggest pink skirt!

We took a very needed and tropical trip to Mexico over Finley's spring break!  Here they are in the airport waiting for our flight!


Upon arrival, Matt quickly makes good use of Harper's backpack to hold his cerveza!

AAAHHHH…wish we were still there!







Some of our favorite things at our resort - beds by the pool….

the big floaty climb thing or as another parent called it, "the nap machine"…



pirate ship…

and the swim up bars and lounge chairs.



Kids club at resort had face painting…

and it can really wear a girl out .




On our balcony - super modeling for mom!






Oh,  and the resort had monkeys, too!



big iguana!!!


Ready for a fancy family dinner!












We did not see any crocodiles, but these signs were warning us that we might.










Adios - Mexico!

Aunt Lisette turns 40!!!!  Welcome to the club, girl!  The girls wanted to know what "hot" means!!!!

Teddy's hip-hop dance recital.  Get down with your bad self, Teddy!



Beautiful brown-eyed cousins!

Easter egg dying time with cousins!




Frozen princess party - Finley went as Ariel before and Harper is Ariel after  


With Maddie and Catherine - who are dressed like Anna and Elsa - formerly Cinderella.



Karoke - you go Harper!




Sisters singing Frozen songs!



Later that night was Aunt Lisette's 80s bday party, but they wanted to keep their face paint from Frozen party!



Thank God that I did not know Matt in the 80s.  He was a prep, and I was Olivia Newton John!  On a sad note, I did not win the biggest hair contest!



Sam, Maverick, and Dad.  Dad is actually wearing a real shirt from 1985!

Hulk is missing his blond flowing locks…
