Le Pein

Dough is set.

Rise, baby, rise.

Hot out of the oven. Smells amazing!

Bonjour! I borrowed a great cookbook from the library that has dinner ideas for $5 to feed a family of four. Crazy, right? The coolest part was it had super simple recipes to make everyday things from scratch: spaghetti sauce, breads, alfredo sauce, soups, etc. I was inspired today to make a loaf of french bread (le pein) using only flour, yeast, sugar, oil and salt. I have to say it was uber easy and insanely delish. Warm french bread with oil and vinegar ... yumm-o.

Big Boy Soccer

Go Ry Go!

Emma is ready to sub in.

Last Sunday was Ryan's first outdoor soccer for the spring league. The Gibson and Holleman girls were there to cheer on the Daddies.

I Like Your Smile

Emma had her very first Dentist appointment today! She did awesome and her teeth looked fantastic. 20 teeth total and no cavities! Olivia checked everything out as well and got to know Dr. Meredith for their next visit in September. We just got home and the girls already want to brush and floss - so cute.

Happy B-Day Caylen!

Girls dressed for the party.

YUM-O!

Emma's BFF Caylen had her 4th birthday party this afternoon! Princess-themed with an amazing doll cake (baked by her Mommy Heather) and yummy lasagna - delish. Happy 4th Birthday sweet Caylen.

S is for Soccer

Balancing on the ball.

Strike a pose.

Another soccer Saturday! Girls did great running around, kicking the ball and listening to their coaches.

Girly Girls

After ballet/tap class this morning, the girls got goofy during painting time, insisting I put clips in their hair. Now, I beg and plead to "do" their hair all of the time, alas, they never let me. I jumped at the chance today and grabbed the camera for proof it could be done. Emma with 6 clips in her hair and Olivia with a hello kitty pony tail. Girly girls for about 5 minutes before they took them out, sigh.

Winnie Family Visit!

Dominic (2 1/2) and his sister Danica (9 months).

Cadee, Stan and their adorable kids Dominic and Danica stopped by for a visit today on their way to the airport from vacationing in Vail. We actually got the kids to sit together for 30 seconds to get these shots - otherwise, these guys were all over the place playing and having a good time!

Happy Birthday Christopher!

Emma flying down the slide. Good catch Dad!

Emma was invited to her dear friend Christopher's 4th Birthday party at Little Monkey Bizness this afternoon. Christopher and Emma are in Mrs. Nohemi's preschool class together. Happy Birthday little dude!

Kick It!

Let's do this.

Sucker for the Soccer girls! Great work!

Lil Kickers officially started today and the Gibson Girls were ready! Emma is in the 3 to 4 year old Hoppers group with Coach Seth and Olivia is in the 18 month to 2 year old Bunnies class with Coach Natalie. Both girls were fantastic! They participated, followed directions, showed off their ball skills and had SO much fun.

Museum

Identifying smells: banana, vanilla, peppermint, etc.

Balancing.

Making craters.

Sands on Mars.

Headed to the museum this morning. Ryan was able to meet us for lunch so it was a special day!

Class Pics

Both Emma and Olivia dressed to the nines for their school pics yesterday.

Race Cars

Hammer time.

Took the girls to Home Depot this morning to build some orange race cars. Olivia can handle a hammer just like big sis Emma!

P is for Paint and Pudding

Girls had fun with cookies and cream pudding yesterday afternoon. After dance class this morning we had a little painting session.
