Ballet, Berries and Dads

Charlotte had her big ballet performance this weekend. Her class were"fireflies", they didn't really know their dance-but she looked so cute and felt so fancy.

So sassy!

We squeezed in some berry picking between ballet performances at a near by farm.

They told us the fields were really picked over; but we still found some nice berries. They were scrumptious! Charlotte spent most of the trip pretending she was a Velociraptor on the hunt.

Olivia was picking every berry in sight; even the yellow or rotten ones. I had to sort though her bucket.

Cute little country girls.

Happy Fathers Day to Scott. He is such a good Dad; always playing and hanging out with the girls. They sure love him!

Got to spend part of Fathers Day with my Dad. He was pleased with all the nice things his daughter sent (even if they were full of saturated fat). Thanks Dad for always being willing to help us out in any way you can; including trimming those mini-blind strings at our place the other day!

Birthday Time!

Olivia turned 4 this weekend. We had a wild animal party theme. The kids had fun with these silly masks.

Thanks Grandma Hoth for the super cute giraffe; he was a hit! He is now living permanently in the girls bedroom.

She's a little spooky in this shot.

The inflatable giraffe was one of Olivia's gifts, she really loves him. She play dress up with him all weekend.

Scott had a birthday too. We celebrated on Sunday with an ice cream pie. I got him the last 2 Disney cars he wanted for his collections-he was really happy.

The cake was pretty cute. The Zebra stripe on the side is a rolled fondant sheet I purchased. It was like putting an edible sticker on the cake-so easy!

It was even Zebra on the inside thanks to a cake mix I found at Walk-mart. You simply layer a chocolate mix and white cake mix to get the look. It was cool and tasty. I must say my butter-cream frosting was to die for!

Party animals!

A very cool mermaid doll from Grandma and Grandpa Hoth. She loved it-went swimming with us twice this weekend.

A Rapunzel jewelry box for her treasures.

A new bike-it was time to retire the tricycle. All the kids were excited about the doll seat in the back.

A Rapunzel jewelry set; so cool with lights and sounds.

We had a feed the elephant relay with real peanuts-thanks for the idea Jen!

Here the girls are playing "pass the ostrich egg" with cool tie-dyes water balloons. Again, thanks for the idea Jen!

They loved this game!

Had to post a picture of my banner because it took me an hour to make.

My big 4 year old-I swear she really grew an inch this weekend; she is getting big way too fast!

Had to share this cute pic. Olivia spent most of the weekend dressed as a Princess. Here she is ready to her Unicorn. It was a very fun and busy weekend. We hit the apartment complex pool 3 times. And I had to give the Relief Society lesson and a Sacrament talk. Good thing I am back at work today so I can take a break!
