No Cinco!

If you look closely in this picture Tills is adorning a homemade dog collar and Cinco is just about to wake-up his sister with a big pinch!

Ballet

Tilley-Claire is more like a bull in a china closet than a ballerina. However, every Wednesday at 10:15 she floats through the air like a little butterfly and she loves every minute of it!

Sophie & Tilley

Ta-Da!

Priceless

I love this picture.

The Wii

For the LOVE of the game!

Our entire family loves the Wii, bit NO one loves it as much as Cinco does. We started out by just giving him a remote that wasn't being used, that method did not last long. It took him no time realize that he was being short changed. His favorite game is sword fighting, he is practically unbeatable. He calls the Wii "BALL" , actually he says it real dramatic and slow... BAAAL. We are not sure where this approach came from, but it works. Several times a day he drags one of down to the basement for some "baaaal". Cinco not only loves the Wii, he is addicted to the Wii. I took these pictures one night when Trini had taken the girls to the UNR Basketball game, we spent the entire evening in the basement playing and as you can see we had a great time!

Taking the game seriously

It's all in the stance!

Getting sleepy

I think he has finally worn himself out!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

Mr. DiCianno and Mrs. Bean requested that everyone wear stripes to honor the great Dr. Seuss.

Emm had a great day celebrating Dr. Suess-they did all kinds of fun activities all in D & B style.

Anns gave Daisy Head Maisy a little make-over for her Dr. Seuss character. Some skinny jeans and ballet flats can to wonders for anybody!

We Made It!

Julie and I had promised all of our girls that we would take them ice skating after we were unable to go for Tia's birthday. So after several bouts of illness amongst other detours we missed Rink on the River in Reno, it closed on Valentine's Day. So on February 23rd WE MADE IT to Northstar for a fabulous evening! It was so beautiful and so much fun.

Rob and Trini weren't sure of our Thursday night outing. They both had some grumbling about the whole deal. However, by the end if the adventure they had just as much fun as we did. I am not sure the babies ever really found the love.

One large GAGGLE of GIRLS!!

We are so happy that Aunt Julie found the love of the camera!

Ever since she was a little girl Anns has always loved a trip to the ice rink!

Tills was never phased by a fall.

Blessed by cousin LOVE!

Jerussia is taking things very seriously!

Adi Hope will bring joy to any situation! She is a precious little soul and a pure delight to be around. She spent most of the night on the ice...I am mean literally flat on the ice just a giggling away!

Cammy went with us so everyone would have a friend. All the girls had a great time together. The big girls were "testing" the little girls on their ice skills. Cammy has logged in many of ice skating hours at the Sun Valley, Idaho ice rink. She is like a pro!

Julie's girls got "real" ice skates for Christmas and this is a dream of my girls. She could have given me a heads up before we headed to the ice rink. My girls longed for "real" ice skates all the way home.

I love to take pictures of shoes..they make my heart happy. Your shoes and your heart take you on your journey through life.

I had to take a picture of the Zambonie because my girls play "Girls on Ice" at home in their socks and nightgowns on our hardwood floor. They use our Dyson for their Zambonie. We love these nightly performances!

Cinco's disposition changed greatly once he got some yummy pizza in his little tummy!

We had a GLORIOUS time at Northstar we will not be waiting so long to return next year!
