Allyson had her first Dance Class

Well it was on Feb 20Th. She had such a great time. Dad got to take her since mom did not get off work in time. She was all equipped with her Tap shoes and Ballet slippers. She had her leotard on and off she went. Dad described quite a picture with her panties hanging out. She was the only one without a tutu, but she did not care. She danced her little heart out. She came home that night and showed us everything she learned. Mom will take her this week so we will get some pictures. Dad does not carry the camera with him. Her dance class is once a week for an hour.

First day of practice.

Well it is finally here. Tristan had his first day of T-Ball practice on Feb 17TH. He had a blast. He told mom that he hit the ball once but not the next time. That he ran to first base and then stopped. Then he ran to second base and stopped. He ran to third and stopped then he got to run to home base. "It was so cool". He said that he caught a ball, but that one other kid could not catch at all. Dad said that he did very well but needs some help. We can't wait until his first game.

Presidents Day February 16

Well mom had the day off and daycare was closed. Dad had to work but came home for lunch. So we spent a very active day at home. Everyone got along very well I might add. Top it off with a cold and rainy day and you have to make up your own fun. And that we did. We did watch some TV but we played with play dough (what a blast) for almost an hour. Later in the day as Gavin slept and Mom was getting some games together for Family night, Tristan and Allyson made up their own fun. They got out every blanket from the cupboard Gavin joined in once he woke up and this is what I found in the toy room.

Allyson wants to dance.

We are having a tough time finding a place to sign her up. Who thought that it would be this hard?? Help, if you have any ideas please share.. We are looking for something just for fun, not the shows and recitals. We want to make sure it is something she will like before we sink some money into it. We know she likes to dance, but not sure if for more then just fun.

Tristan's First Baseball meeting

On Thursday February 12Th, Tristan had his first Baseball (T-Ball) meeting. He is on the White Sox. We being Angels fans had to play it up that the White Sox are just as good. Well I think he bought it! Mark is going to be one of the coaches. We should start selling candy soon, so for all of you that we have bought from over the years, well, time to pay up!! Games should start some time in March. He is so excited. The team he is playing on played together last year so he has some catching up to do. He can throw and hit just fine. It is catching that he needs some work on. Very important, but he should be just fine.

Gavin's First Dental appointment.

About the first of the month I noticed that one of Gavin's front teeth was slightly discolored. Over the weekend it got worse. I made him brush over and over just to make sure. Then other people started to notice it. So I made him his first Dental Appointment. So on February 9Th we made our way to the Dentist. At first he was just fine. He played with the toys and flirted with the girls. They just loved him. Not hard!! We got to the back and he would not sit in the chair. He did not want to put the bib on and wanted to sit in the tall chair. When the Dentist came in he sat on my lap and showed him his teeth. No problem there. The Doctor told me that it was from some kind of trauma and not a cavity. Glad to hear that. He said just to leave it unless it starts to bother him or if his gums change color. So we dodged that one. No pictures of this, not able to get a good one. We will have a follow up on this in April. All three kids will have their first cleaning appointments.

No news is good news, Right??

Well I wanted to wait and update until we made sure that we got past the whole pink eye episode. We did and no one else got it. Thank goodness!! The last 2 weeks have been very nice and quiet. I was checking my camera and noticed no new pictures of the family, so I took some today just to upload them to the blog. Wow!! After this next week things should pick back up.
