May and some June with Jessie's dance recital

These are the butterflies the girls "grew". We got them as caterpillars and watched them change into Painted Lady Butterflies.


Getting ready to release our butterflies.



Kat trying to get the butterfly that landed on the bush to get on her finger.

Jessie holding a butterfly...

a closer view.

I'm trying to get the butterfly to stay on her finger, but it flies off before staying on her hand.

Jessie's ballet class on her last day of class before her recital. This is the class picture in their costumes.

Chatting with friends before the show.

Doing her technical ribbon dance on stage.

Dancing around the stage during their second dance.

Our beautiful ballerina after the show with her flowers. She was very excited to get these flowers, it was the first time she got flowers. The carnations were from Mommy, Daddy and Kat and the rose was from Aunt Patti, Uncle Jeff, and the boys. She loved having those flowers on her dresser for well over a week.

Our princesses. Jessie has some fake nails on, we don't let her grow them that long.

Jammie day watching TV.

Safe!

Jessie wearing her hat low. It makes me think of her Uncle Phil when he played Little League. I remember he used to wear his hat low too.

Easter 2010

Kat coloring her eggs with crayons before Jessie dips them in the dye.


Jessie using a crayon on her eggs too.



Lots of colorful eggs and the girls can't wait... Jessie is peeling her egg to eat and...

Kat is digging in.

The girls weren't in a posing mood Easter morning. This was the best one that showed both dresses and both girls decently.

Annual egg hunt at Grandma and Papa Dreier's. Jessie's very happy to run around and grab as many eggs as she can.

Kat really got into it this year. She was running all over the place to grab eggs.

Playing catch with daddy after Easter dinner. Gotta get ready for her first season of T-Ball.

Kat hanging out while Jessie plays catch.

February/March finally

Kat getting ready to jump in the pool at swim class


Jessie during free time at swim class. I think she was about to jump in, or get some pool toys from the storage room.



Jessie in 1st postion during ballet class. She really was having fun, she just didn't want to smile for the camera.

"I'm 3!" Kat opening presents on her birthday morning, notice the bed head.

Kat loving her new kaleidoscope at her birthday party.

Blowing out the candles.

Kat making snow angels when she was done sledding. She only went down the hill once, then she said she was done.

Jessie after going down the hill.

Kat in her new big girl bed that she inherited from Jessie. She loves having so much room now.

Jessie in her new bigger girl bed. We fit a full size bed in her room somehow. This is the one she'll have until college. She's finally starting to spread out more in it. She used to always hug the side, but now she stretches in the middle more.
