Dance Informance - Force and Motion

Dad couldn't make it to this one this time but I had a good time watching this girl dance around and teach everyone about force and motion. I think more than anything she is just glad someone can be there to see her do something she has worked hard at. 

   

   

Nouata Marlee Lautogia was born on April 3rd. She had to come via c-section because she had the cord wrapped around her neck. She wasn't breathing very well on her own for a few hours but she's doing perfect now!

We bought a trailer!!!! It's a 17' Ameri-lite and she is tiny but perfect for us. I spent an entire day running around trying to get the loan which the loan itself wasn't hard, it was dealing with people to get things done that wasted so much of my time. We are so excited but have a lot to learn about owning a trailer. This is one of our dreams come true. The box I've had in storage labeled 'trailer stuff' is going to finally have somewhere to go. 

 

Bigger fields and an all girls team this soccer season. It is so fun to watch her play. 

 

This girl likes her hair short and has been asking me to schedule an appt for her to cut it, so we did. 

It won't stop snowing!!! This winter seriously is dragging on and on! 

Sometimes I get the best tips from my clients! It shoots lego pieces. 

Cash's Birthday party. 

 

Spring Break. So much goodness. Brynlee didn't have school for the entire week. It was rainy and cold to start off with. Sleepover at Mimi's with Mc that consisted of McD's, watching the 90's Jumanji and, of course, staying up way too late.  She had tons of fun with Kam doing so many different things all week like: going to the library, eating at chickfila (and eating it on the front porch), Funtopia, side walk chalking the neighbors driveways with nice notes, picking up garbage around the neighborhood on their rollerblades, a sleepover (the deal was they had to sleep in the basement because Dad still had work and neither of them complained about it). Brynlee and I got pedicures, ate lunch at the Protein Foundry then went to Home Goods to get some stuff for the trailer and we got her the panda canvas picture for her bunk. Kam and Brynlee did a lemonade stand too. We finished up Spring Break with a visit to the SoJo Rec center to go swimming then running around outside getting sunburned. 

 

  

   

 

Thunder peaking over the fence to see what is going on. 

Dying Easter eggs with Maga and Papa. 

Lawrence Easter party was a week before Easter and it made things a bit easier. 

  

Easter Sunday. Brynlee always has so much fun finding and gathering the eggs. 

  

   

Met Nouata. We all had colds so we had to wait a couple weeks after she was born to meet her. 

 

Love my Project Dance crew. It's slowly getting bigger and I'm so grateful for them. 

Getting her ready!

This is what you get if you take selfies on my phone. I immortalize it in the blog book. This was at Body Logic at my High Fitness class one night. 

I visited Grandma Cookie and Grandpa Donut to give Grandma a massage since her back was hurting her. She had never had a massage before, at least that's what she told me. She showed me these pictures. They were pictures that my Great Grandma Loraine drew. I was so impressed and had no idea she had a talent for drawing. 

   

  

Rummaging and playing around with the glasses at the DI.

 

Ty saw a Dr. about his thumb. It's been bugging him so they want him to immobilize it for a bit.

Other things of note:

Crystal told me and Tisha she is pregnant and due in November! Wahoo! Looking forward to a baby to snuggle. Also, a bit stressed about teaching our gigantic classes solo.

I had gone through some of Brynlee's bins and gave more stuff away. As time passes, it does get easier. I do a little at a time and have made giant strides towards letting go.
