Easter, Crossfit Challenge, Disney, and Beyond!!!!

I would like to apologize for the amount of pictures on this blog.  This is what happens when I don't blog for a month and half!   We begin with some random shots...Finley finding eggs...

Monty sleeping wherever the girls put her dog bed!

New sun hats!!!


Harper likes to sneak off and nap sometimes!


Dadda and his girls!!!!!


Coloring Easter eggs - so fun!


I meant hilarious!!!
Finding eggs!



Better than finding eggs - finding the candy!

Boy, Disney has really went down hill...just kidding.  This is a little carnival that appeared in a parking lot near our house.  We used it as a test run for Disney - especially for Harper who had only been on a merry-go-round before.

I think she likes it!

Naturally, only the pink car would do for FiFi!





Yes, the seatbelt is working, Harper.
Matt was in a Crossfit Challenge at his gym.  We made it to the fourth and final round to cheer him on!


Oh so tired!

Look, Matt actually praying or puking - not sure which!

Now lift me, Dadda!



He survived and was 6th overall.  And, yes, there were more than six guys in the competition.  Also, he was the best of the old guys-over 40.  The five guys that finished ahead of him were in their 20s.

Character breakfast at Hollywood Studios - here come the Disney Junior characters!

So shy with June from the Little Einsteins!





Dancing with Handy Manny!



Going in to see the Ariel show - Finley's favourite princess!

At the Magic Kingdom...Matt on the teacups with the girls!

We made it to night!!!
Princess breakfast at Epcot - very cool!







With Ariel and in her Ariel costume!



At the hotel...


Tony's Restaurant - from Lady and the Tramp - the girls' favourite movie!  Naturally their favourite is about dogs!






Gotta have spaghetti and meatballs!












Okay, we might have gotten a little carried away!
Fancy hotel with a different animal in the room everyday when we returned.  Our favourite - the alligator!


Harper loves to put on any and everyone's shoes!

Safari ride at Animal Kingdom - very neat!





























Comparing our hands to the dinosaur print in Dinoland at the Animal Kingdom!


At the hotel and getting ready to head to the airport!



At the airport - see ya, Goofy.

March Madness!!! Just kidding...

Montana may be the sweetest, most gentle dog ever when it comes to having little girls climb all over and around her!


No, that is not a yawn but a scream of rage!

Much better!

Harper really wanted to see herself in the mirror, so she came up with a plan...


and executed it.  Well done, Harper Paige!

Bow and tutu day at the Weinsteins!

A second gold medal tie for sweetest, most gentle dog goes to Dixie Lynn Chicken Nugget Weinstein who did not even flinch while Harper put on her medal!


AAAHHHH...so pretty!
And, finally, the ballet videos from the parent viewing in February...enjoy!

More February Fun!

Finley's birthday celebration at home after her favorite dinner - Sushi Hour.  She loved her birthday crown from school and insisted that Harper and she dressed fancy for dinner, too.  I am really getting my money's worth out of those Christmas dresses.

Finley helped me make the cake.  And, Harper and Finley decorated it with pink frosting and LOTS of sprinkles!




Dadda shows her how to blow those candles out!


Opening birthday presents and special valentines!  







Jack wants to know if there is anything for him???? 

Just some sugar from his valentine, aka Mama.

One of Finley's new outfits and her new Ariel shoes!  

Harper in high heels - what?
NO videos yet, I am trying to figure out where they went on the computer!!!  Thank you everyone for the wonderful gifts - we appreciate it so much!!!!  (Consider this your thank you card, too!)

Ballet and February Fun!

I attended Finley's ballet class last week; it was parent observation day.  I also filmed some short videos and will post those next time.  I have to watch them all and decide which ones turned out well enough for public viewing.

Looking good!


They were told repeatedly NOT to hang on the bar!

However, the teacher never told them to suck it in!  At what age is that appropriate to say...if ever...

My angel dogs - hanging out away from the girls.  When I yell at the girls -which hardly ever happens, they immediately go outside.  They know trouble and run from it!



Harper is soooo busy and gets into everything including toilet paper!  She looks os proud!

Girls got haircuts, and Finley got a beautiful French braid!
The nap continues to be hit or miss.  But when it does happen - Monty is there in a heartbeat.



Watching Lady and the Tramp - she always lays on Matt's side of the bed!

Finley got her birthday crown from school yesterday and has been wearing it all weekend!  Four tomorrow!'
