The first stop was to get Taylor's ears pierced. She was pretty nervous at first but she had her friend Jamie hold her hand through it. She hasn't stopped playing with her ears since.

Scoping out the location

She was a little nervous but her friend Jamie was there to hold her hand.

The final result

Next stop was Austin's first ever t-ball game. He absolutely loves t-ball and was talking about his 'big game' for DAYS. Austin did great and had so much fun...even though they don't keep score, he insists they won 11-8. I will say that Austin made some good plays in the field when he was in the pitcher spot. It was just fun to see how much he really enjoyed it.

Waiting his turn...anxiously

We went to the circus

Sit Ubu Sit

It was pretty cool...I couldn't remember the last time I went to a circus so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. The kids really enjoyed it so that always helps.

Glittery

Taylor had a parade at her school where they got to dress up as adjectives, she was glittery.

After much anticipation, here is the fam in costume.

well, girl and boy. Here is some video from Taylor and Austin's first Piano Recital, we were very proud. I think I was probably more nervous than either of them.

Yeah...First the kid is off to Kindergarten and now she turned 6. Amazing how the time flies.

We had quite the birthday weekend. Last Thursday Taylor and her class got to go on a field trip to American Royal to watch them some rodeo. That night we checked into the Great Wolf Lodge and were off to dinner at Ted's Montana Grill. Dinner was not good - great service and good soup but the food in general was awful. I got the New Mexico Chicken and Jenn the Bison Meatloaf. Mine was pretty bland and wouldn't recommend it but Jenn's was worse...Terrible. Then to the lodge for some fun, if you remember, we went to the lodge last winter for Austin's birthday and it is freaking awesome. We played in the pool for a while before Jenn and I had to play a double header for our coed volleyball league.
