Aussie Festival

Hope had an amazing opportunity at school last week. An artist from Australia ( Paul Taylor) visited her school for the week teaching them authentic songs and dances. Hope's class was able to make their own didgeridoo, and learn how to play it. She came home from school everyday so happy and excited to share with me what she had learned. The school put on a performance to show everything they had learned and made. It was a very cute performance and I was so happy to see how much Hope loved learning about it all!!

Welcom back Kim!

This post is to just get you ready for the next 10! It has been a really long time since I have blogged and I am excited to say I am caught up! I know I am not including EVERYTHING, but really people it has been since May 2009! As you read you will see a post talking about me blogging again I wanted it to be my first but it did not go in that order. I hope you enjoy catching up on what our family has been doing just as much as I have enjoyed blogging about it all!

Love

Kim

JAson Aldean

Brady loves country music and his favorite singer is Jason Aldean. Chris and I decided to take Brady to Jason's concert at Energy Solutions since tickets were a good price! Brady was so excited! He did nothing but talk about it for a month!

They night before the concert Brady's aer drum burst :( He was so sick! I told him we did not have to go to the concert, but he really wanted to! Since he did not have a fever we decided to still take him! He had a really good time, and was happy to be there, but you could still tell he was sick! He really wanted to hear his favorite song, Big Green Tractor, but this happened!

I let him sleep and decided I would wake him for his favorite song, but he was out cold and he missed it! When he woke up while putting him in the car he was so sad he missed it! He told me to tell Jason A next time to sing his song first or start the concert earlier. I told him if I happened to ever run into Jason I sure would :)

Brady's first 5k

So my mom and dad were going to walk in a 5K that I did in January, but my dad was sick so Brady took his spot and walked with my mom! He was so cute! He finished first in his age group (don't tell him, but he was the only one in his age group) He got tired, but had a lot of fun and cant wait to do it again! As a family we are doing on in April and I am really excited about it!

St Patrick's Day Parade

Hope's cheer team Spirit Cheer was in the St Patricks day parade. She was really excited, but the day of the parade it rained and snowed so the excitement turned into being frozen!! Cory, Chris and Denise watching the parade

Zoey playing in the puddles!
Still smiling even though she was frozen
Denise trying to stay warm!

Jazz Family Fun!

Ok So as a family we do not always agree on Sport teams, but one that we all love is the Jazz!

We look forward to making it to as many games as we can! This year Hope and Brady had the opportunity to be ball kids. They had so much fun!

Hope and Brady giving all they players high-five as then ran onto the court!

Brady's favorite player Memo Okur was so cute with them. He came over and gave High-five's and then let Brady pass the ball to him a few times.

Brady loves the bear!
