Where has the time gone.....???

Where has the time gone??? It seems like this last month has been the busiest month of the whole year. So much has happened I don't even know where to start...... First of all Dustin has passed his Series 7 license with an 82% and we are so proud of him! (even though his studying really cut into my blogging and facebook time)Ha! Now he has to start the process all over with the Series 66 so it may be a couple months before you see my next post. Tyler has only 3 more days of school and she will be on to 2nd grade and my baby will be in kindergarten. I can't even believe it! Tyler just had her dance recital this weekend and she did so good. Tanner started baseball this year, not T-ball..... baseball. Unfortunately he was sick for his first game. The kids also started golfing. They are taking lessons out at Shadow Valley and it is so fun for Daddy Dustin (He likes that he can just drop them off and has an excuse to go golfing.) Something we have been really busy with lately is bike riding. We all got new bikes this year and I know that everyone probably expects that from us if you know my parents. My dad helped Dustin and I get knew bikes and we have had a blast! Dustin has been riding his bike to and from work and our last couple date nights have been nice long bike rides. This summer is going to be SO busy and we already have so much planned, I am really excited..... I just hope I can keep up on my blogging. Here's a few pictures of what we have been up to.....

Getting some pictures before Tyler's Dance Recital.......

The kids at their first Golf Lesson.......

Tanner was bored after 10 minutes.......

Tyler actually really enjoyed golfing.....

Just before our 1st ride, Look at our pretty new bikes.......

Tanner only goes one speed.... FAST.....

Tyler doesn't know this but her training wheels are broken so she is not even using them but FREAKS out when we talk about taking them off.......

Swimming in Auntie April's new pool.........

The Olson "Stick" family

I saw this on my friend's blog and thought it was SO fun! I have been asking Dustin if we could get the little one's for our car and he said...."uh no" so I guess posting it on out blog will have to work for now (until I find out where to get them and secretly post them on his car) HeHe!

My Sweet Boy....

We have been enjoying the nice weather and have been taking our little family walks when one afternoon Tanner decided to pick EVERY flower he saw and give them to me. I love this little guy...... I just didn't have the heart to tell him that all the Pretty Flowers he picked for me were WEEDS!

Easter

This year the Easter Bunny was a little Sneaky and made a trail of strings the kids had to follow to find their Easter baskets. We wanted to do something really fun because it's kind of hard for the Easter Bunny to be creative when the kids are visited 3 different times at 3 different houses. I was in charge of just buying everything for the kids and Daddy Dustin was in charge of the rest and it was definitely an Easter they will never forget!

Spring Break

This week the kids are on Spring Break but unfortunately Dustin and I are still working. Besides the "Arts & Crafts" they do with Grammie during the day they have been SO bored. I wanted to suprise them so I planned a little "Spring Break Party" and invited a few kids from school and the neighborhood. We had so much fun.! We ate hot dogs, made cupcakes, watched a movie, played video games, played dress up, played trains, and even had pony rides. Okay.... maybe not the pony rides but we did do a lot in only 3 hours!

CHEER LEADING

Cheer leading is something Tyler has been wanting to do for awhile. Her and her little friends even started their own Cheer leading squad at school and they practice during recess. She has done a couple of the High Schools cheer camps but she wanted to do more. We heard about Optimist through her best friend Aspyn so we signed her up. We just finished up a very long week of Cheer camp where Tyler had practice every night this week from 6:00-7:30. The girls just performed during half time at the Stampede game. She did so good! It was so cute to see her and her little friends. They were so excited to meet "Professional" Basketball Players and "Professional" Cheerleaders. Now we are just trying to figure out how she can do Cheer leading, Dance and Basketball all at the same time next year!?!?

Miko

For everyone who knows Miko, our little Shi tzu might say he is a little "slow". But.... we love him like he is one of our kids! Miko has never been able to do any "tricks" except go find his chew toy when we say, "Miko, go find your monkey" (I always thought that was cute!) So I was determined to teach him a real trick. For the last couple of months I have been trying to get Miko to "sit" before he gets his treat and he would just look up at me like he had no idea what I was talking about. Dustin kept telling me, "Where do you think the expression you can't teach an old dog new tricks came from?" Well yes I am blogging about our dog and YES.... finally today he sat for his treat. I am so happy! So of course we made him do it over..... and over...... and over to make sure it wasn't just coincidence.
