LEMON-A-D-E!!

The girls and two friends set up a very successful lemonade stand. First, they hit up all the neighbors for lemons and then a week later for buying the lemonade.

Princess Friends

Rachel loves her Teacher

As part of Teacher Appreciation Week, the kids were asked to write a thank you note to their teacher. Rachel was very proud of her long letter she wrote by herself. You can click on the picture to enlarge it.

My little artist

So I do have a separate blog to document all the girls' lovely artwork http://doveart.blogspot.com/ but this picture Rachel drew of mermaids was so awesome I wanted to put it here for everyone to be sure to see.

Safari Blast

We had a wonderful time at Safari West during Spring Break. All the animals were spectacular and so close. Camping in the cottage was fun: the girls loved the bunk beds. Rachel beat us all at Monopoly. All that was missing was Alex who had to be in Las Vegas for a convention. We will go back when the whole family can go and Lauren gets a little taller and can ride the top of the jeep.

Let's Go Swimming

The girls keep getting better and better in the pool at the Y and in swim class. They even wanted to go in Grandpa Richie's rather cool pool. Everyone lasted about 7 minutes before turning blue. Kudos to Grandpa Richie for braving the water.

Nana Visit

Nana drove down to spend some time with the cuties ... Rachel and Lauren too. :)

Sky High

This place, Sky High Sports, is wall to wall trampolines and a lot of fun. After 1 hour we were all tired and thirsty.
