Just Kidding...

Due to some ridiculous complications we won't be leaving here till July 16th. Hopefully. I'm starting to feel like I'm in an episode of Lost and I think I know what the smoke monster is.

Another Fish

Allyson LOVES the water which is great for our family since we all love to swim. She looks like she is running as fast as she can when she's trying to swim. We could barely hold on to her.
Our other natural born swimmer. She passed the swim test when she was 3. The other day (after 2 hours of hard swimming), she decided to try the swim test again. She was 10 seconds (treading water, no head going under the water) away from earning her swim pass when she just couldn't do it anymore. She was very upset that she didn't pass...and that she "puked" a little in the pool. All the lifeguards were impressed with what she was able to do, which made her feel a little better...that and they gave her some candy.


Dolphin ride with dad.


Allyson didn't make it in this shot b/c she decided to go swim on her own.


I think she's being a mermaid...who knows.






"Swimming" to Dad.

Allyson's First Pigtails...



She actually left them in for a few hours. Getting them in there to begin with was quite the struggle. Keira keeps asking to have "twin piggie tails day". I just have to get the will power to do Allyson's hair again.

Pictures

Well, since I'm done with school (for the summer), I decided to update my blog...at least until we move. Enjoy the pics!
This was Keira's first "season" of soccer...I have better pictures of her playing, but they're not on my computer yet...yeah, I'm a little lazy.

It would seem I have another daredevil on my hands...I wonder where they get it from.


Allyson "The Moucher" and Keira "The Always Steals and Eats All the Cottage Cheese Girl".


Just playing together.


Allyson playing her favorite game in her favorite blanket...its called "Where'd Ally go?"


"There she is!"


Coloring Easter eggs. Allyson wasn't a fan.


"They" found their Easter baskets.


Finding an Easter egg and wondering what the big deal is.


Off to find all the Easter eggs.


We should of named her Tazmanian Devil...seriously. We call her Taz for short. See the room behind her. It was SPOTLESS when I left for about 5 minutes. I cam back to find this mess and her in the act. I don't think she looks the least bit sorry.


Along with soccer, Keira also started ballet and tap. She had a recital at the end of April. I think if she pursues dance, it will be modern dance based on the crazy face/pose above.


The song they danced to was the Children of Siam from the King and I broadway show.


Her very good friends, Alex and Ava.


Ally really enjoyed the songs and when Keira would dance...as well as all the food mom and dad shoveled in her mouth to make her be quiet during the recital.


This was her next outfit for tap. They did a dance to "Rap and Tap" which was really cute.


Always a poser.


Tapping her little heart out.


For her final bow.

Well, here's a long one. I'm trying to make up for the last few months. Starting with Christmas (I should start with November but our pictures are all over the place and should just be glad I got this many on ;) Allyson wasn't a fan of being dressed up, although she did get over it. Keira's just bored with trying to get a picture where Ally isn't throwing a fit.
We got the classic "crying on Santa's lap" with Allyson. Keira never did that.
Keira being a rock star.
Allyson discovering that she likes ball pits. We were here a month before and she threw a fit when we put her in there. Funny how much a month changes everything.



This is Keira at her school dressed up as a doctor.

Keira's class at Kuwae Preschool. Yes, she is a ham.
Keira's individual picture. Those pants (a week later) were too short.This is at the Daddy/Daughter dance in February. These are her friends Jayla and Mikayla. The dads were all dressed up in suits and Eric had a pink tie which Keira LOVED of course.



Keira showing off the corsage Dad got her.
Allyson "learning" to sleep in the car. This is after a whole day looking at cherry blossoms at a castle (I'll have to do a separate post for that).
Keira the spider monkey.
