What slows things down majorly is adding pictures, so maybe I'll just do a quick run-down of some things that happened in April? Okay, I couldn't resist adding a few pictures! But, this is still definitely an abridged version of my ideal blog for these events!
April 6th - Sesame Street Live: We took Mira to her first live performance. She loved it! She dressed up in her Abby Cadabby t-shirt, purple tutu, tights, and twinkle toes. During the show, she was totally star-struck and watched the whole performance in silent amazement - totally enthralled!
All dressed up Abby Cadabby style!
Can't believe her eyes!
Stood this way the whole time!
April 7th - Bounce House! We finally got Mira a bounce house. She loved it, of course, and jumped from the time she woke up from nap until it was bath time. She only took one, very quick, break to eat dinner. Too bad she only got to jump on it once! We found out the next day that we were moving back to TX and would be in a temporary apartment for a while. No where to set up the bounce house here (unless we want the whole "neighborhood" coming to jum)! Oh, well, it'll keep and we have Pump It Up! across the street from the apartment!
April 9th - Kenny attended the LA State Sons of the American Revolution meeting - he had to wear a tux, so I thought this was blog-worthy!
I demanded that he take a picture of himself in his tux since I wouldn't be there to see him!
Meanwhile, Mira and I went to Waco to watch LaLa perform at the Regionals OAP meet, then LaLa and I did a tour of Waco and Baylor on Sunday, while Mira stayed with Uncle Kenny and Aunt CoCo. We all had a great time doing our things!
Mira always claps when the audience claps - she stops whatever she's doing and instantly starts clapping enthusiastically!
Mira with LaLa who's all dressed up for the award ceremony after the play.
April 15th - Fort Worth Zoo Run: Kenny ran the 10K then turned right around and ran the 5K with Avi
Got this same shot of Mira a couple of years ago when we did the Zoo Run!
Amazing face paintings - FREE!
Kenny and Avi after the 5K
April 22-23rd - Easter Weekend in Fairfield: we had a blast. Kenny, LaLa, and I went to see Water for Elephants while Mira hung out with Avi and CoCo and colored eggs. They had a lot of fun and colored a lot of eggs! I painted mine and Mira's toes to match (as is our Easter tradition)! And, Mira and Avi had fun hunting Easter eggs at the egg hunt on the square while LaLa painted faces (including Mira's).
Ta Daaaaa!
Avi's eggs
Somebunny brought you something!
She had eyed up that catapillar weeks ago at the store!
I thought this was a nice pic of us!!
Waiting patiently for the horn to blow announcing the begining of the hunt!
The word "hunt" is used loosely....Mira was much more aggresive this year in seeking out the eggs!
Traded in the plastic eggs for a prize bag full of candy!
Avi hunts with the big kids - this is serious!
LaLa painted a flower on her cheek.
Nothing like a cold Icee from Nanny after a hot Easter morning in the sun!
April 29th & 30th - Kenny flew up to Omaha, NE to hang out with Craig, attend the Annual Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders Meeting, and see his idol Warren Buffet! He also drove over to Lincoln to have lunch with the Balms (this part I was jealous about - not so much the other).
He swears he hadn't been drinking, but I think this pictures says otherwise....(it was about 6 in the morning!)
THE man!
Ben and Ethan - SO big!!! Can't wait to see them in a couple of weeks!!!!
Meanwhile, Mira and I went to Fairfield for the annual Pilgrimage and Style Show. LaLa STARRED in the melodrama (totally stole the show) and Avi and Mira STARRED in the style show (the most beautiful girls, by far!)! Sheesa and PapaNui drove down to enjoy the day, too. We all had a really nice time!
Dancing the Virginia Reel
Style Show Beauties!
Now, for a drink....
And a dance!
So, there you have our April 2011 in a nutshell!!! Phew! Glad that's dealt with! Now, on to May.....
