Phantom of the Opera

Last Monday we went to Phantom of the Opera-2nd row!! Our date was sooooo much fun. Before the show, we went to te costume store to try and find a costume...It is impossible for a girl to find a costume these days! Everything is either frump city, or you feel like you are looking at lingerie. Toby wasn't quite sure what he wanted, but he seemed to be excited about the idea of having a sword. So, we left with nothing! Before the show started, we started snapping photos of ourselves, and were about to take one with the stage in the background, when this grumpy usher came up and threatened to take away Toby's phone. Crabby lady. So, this is the only pic we got! But we loved the Phantom! Wow-there was some amazing talent on that stage! Can't wait to go to the next show! :)

Tattling Toddlers

Yesterday, Dallin came upstairs crying, saying "Tyler" to Toby. Toby then asked Dallin, "Did Tyler hit you?" Dallin said, "Yeah" (between tears). Then Toby asked him, "Did he choke you?" and Dallin said "Yeah." Then Toby-"Did he poke your eyeballs out?" and again Dallin replied with a tearful, "Yeah." Then he said "Did he bite you in the butt?" and of course, his answer was, "Yeah" in his pouty voice, bottom lip out and all. Tyler came upstairs and we informed him of our little tattling toddler, and he just explained how "Dallin was a liar."

It taught us a valuable lesson because we have been after Tyler a lot lately for Dallin's tears, and half the time we don't even know what for. It's so easy to jump to the conclusion that it is the older sibling's fault, but how easy it is to be wrong! Dallin puts on a pretty good show!! Little monster! :)

Season of Firsts...

Tyler's first day of school and Kali's first smile!

While Tyler was at school, Dallin decided to fix his own hair. He got out Toby's hair paste, and styled his hair so well that we were impressed enough to break out the camera!

The boys seem to think that our bed is not only their personal trampoline, but a wrestling mat where they can get their kicks and giggles. Every time me and Toby settle down to relax, these two wild hoolagins show up to prove us wrong.

Kali!

Don't you just want to eat her up? She is lovely in polka dots!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Dallin! Dallin finally turned two! He had a "Horton Hears a Who" party, and Toby made the adorable elephant cake! We had so much fun celebrating, and Tyler had a blast with the silly string!

Ellensburg-WOO-HOO!

Ellensburg! What can I say? It is turning into our second home! :) We had our Kittittas County Fair performance on Friday night, and ended up staying the night with our Extreme Team in a barn loft of the Calaways, who are a part of our clogging family in Ellensburg. Well, the barn loft was AMAZING! A few of the girls were shocked to find out they wouldn't be sleeping with real animals, and we all had a crazy fun time in the beautiful apartment/suite. Before our Saturday performance me and Toby got up early and hit the parade with O.C. and Rachel. The parade was a lot of fun to watch, and the kids had a blast! Can't wait til next year!!

Rodeo!

The Rodeo was so much fun for our family! Of course our favorite was the one armed bandit!
