It seems like she just started Kindergarten, now she's a first grader! Carter had a really good first year of school. Even with moving schools half way through, she has loved every minute.
Today, all the Kindergarten classes put on a little program. They sang and danced really well, it was so cute.

One last picture with her teacher
So long Kindergarten, hello summer vacation!
The girls got to dance in their first recital this weekend. Carter said her favorite part was getting to perform their tap dance, the "Rhinoceros Tap", in front of so many people. Gabby said her favorite part was doing the "boogie woogie" move :) 
Here are all the girls in their class waiting to go perform...
and after the show with their friends. Great job girls!
The other day, Gabby asked me what I was doing on the computer. I showed her that I was setting up an account to help pay for her to go to college. "But I'm not going to college," she replied. I was a little shocked that she even had an opinion on the matter, she is only 3 after all. Since Gabby always says she wants to be a Mom when she grows up, I thought I would use that to convince her. "Oh yeah, you want to go college, so you can be a smart Mom," I answered. 
Since we live in the yard sale capital of the world, we decided to give it a shot and get rid of some of our junk. I went to wally-world early Sat. morning to get some change and put up the signs on my way back home. 4 cars beat me home and the next half hour was a flurry of the professional garage salers, and they weren't messing around. We had a steady stream of cars all day and sold almost everything. Not bad!
Our pajama clad daughters set up a table to sell muffins. They turned up the cute factor and sold out after a few hours. The muffin stand then became a lemonade stand. They did really well for being first-time entrepreneurs!
The day was a success!
...that the #4 gaurd on the clippers is for summer buzz cuts only. Whoops!
Robert wanted us to try taking a family picture with the timer. Hmmm, this is the best we got.
Gotta love springtime in AZ!
Carter found a pair of goggles at her Auntie and Uncle's house and kept asking to go snorkeling. Uncle Jonathan decided it would be funny to let her try and got her a bowl of water and a straw. Oh Carter.
We love joining the masses at HP for the annual egg hunt. It's tradition! Nate didn't get the whole find eggs and then carry them around thing. He ditched his basket shortly after this photo.
We miss living close to Ellie! (Can you tell we rolled out of bed to make it time, my girls have a little bed head going on)
Carter was hoping the bunnies would show up, since they are her favorite animal right now. She even got to pick one up...
ha, ha. I guess she just likes them from a distance. 
Because spending Spring Break in ICU is not very fun, we decided we needed a vacation this year...but, we didn't want to travel very far with 3 kids in tow either...so, we took a little vacay to Tucson. It was really fun! We found lots of kid-friendly stuff to do and came back exhausted from playing so much! Sorry for posting the family album here but, Mom, these are for you. Enjoy .
The kids looovved this place. They played for hours until they had visited every exhibit...a couple times.
This is what Nate did for over an hour, pushed a shopping cart around and around and around. Then he would stop at a table, pretend to eat and then back to pushing the cart. 
It was perfect baseball weather and we couldn't pass up a D-Backs spring training game. Nate's first baseball game!
Nate even joined in, bowling a few turns for Gabs.
You can't fake this excitement. Our bowling outing was a success!
While in Tucson, we got to go to the zoo. Not only did we get to see Gabby's favorite animal, a giraffe, the girls also got to feed one! It was a bit slimy but they both thought it was cool.
We met up with my friend Brittany who lives in Tucson
and our kiddos got to play. Such a fun day, thanks guys!
