Mermaid Adventure

We celebrated Caylen's 5th birthday with a tour and party at the Downtown Aquarium! The group got a special treat where we got to see mermaids swimming with the fish and they made a guest appearance in the party room. Happy Birthday, Caylen! You are growing up so fast!

Sun Catching

A few weeks ago, the girls picked a sun catcher craft from the dollar store. We had the perfect, sunilicious afternoon, and broke out the materials. Both girls chose a horse/western-themed picture. The paint was a bit gooey and limited by 4 color choices (a green horse?), but they had fun anyways.

Wedding Shirts!

Yes, we have 5 months until UD and Jill B.'s wedding, however, I wanted to make these shirts ASAP. Loving the fact I found all of the tops in a very close shade of raspberry to match the bridesmaids dresses. No pressure to wear them on game day - but how cute are these?!

Lollipop Park

We met Rocco for a play date at Lollipop Park today. It's an indoor mini-amusement park with a ferris wheel, tea cups, train, swings, merri-go-round, bouncy houses ... oh my. We also ran into our friends Jack & Kate and Riley and JT!

"Whip It", aka whiplash ...

Splish Splash

Emma and her friend, Sophie, had their first swim lesson at the Starfish school last Tuesday. The owners are building a new facility, so right now the lessons are in a hotel pool (random, yes), but the girls had a fun time with Mr. Will. Next lesson is Tuesday at 6:30 pm!



Mr. Will grabbed the "class" and took them to the shallow end. There are only four kids, which makes the 30 minute lesson nice and focused.

Emma practicing her kicks. She even put her face in the water when told and attempted a back float.

Will had Emma get close to the wall and then go under water and reach out for it. She did it! They teach safety skills first, which we think is the best route to go. Poor Olivia was SO jealous and wanted to get into the pool. Only a few more months until July and her lessons can begin.

DU v. Wisconsin Hockey Game

We just left the game, tied at 0. Girls were hopped up on cotton candy, but we only lasted through the 2nd period. Hopefully, the Badgers pull it off!

Lil Kickers

New Spring Session of Lil Kickers soccer started today. Emma is is the 4-5 year old Micro class and Liv is in the Cottontails 2-3 year olds. Girls had fun showing off their super skills!

Bo Strikes Again

That darn boa constrictor. This time trying to eat the whole entire Gibson Family.

A Morning at the Museum

Building a tower with Daddy, the architect.

What do you think it smells like?

Playing in the Mars sand.

Holding a real T-Rex tooth fossil.

The whole gang headed to the science museum this morning. Em and Liv showed their Dad the best spots: snake exhibit, dinosaurs, space and the kids zone.

Museum Maddness

Emma practicing her cutting skills.

Tower power!

Magnetic animals.

Posing with the deer.

"Hello?".

Museum was packed with school groups, but, we made the most of it. Snake and reptile exhibit, animal dioramas and the Kid's Zone. Tons of fun!

Ssssssssssssssnake!
