totally awesome totally cute updates!

kaelyn and ben got to go to a daddy daughter dance put on by girlscouts! It was 80's theme. we had a lot of fun picking out her outfit. she and ben got ice cream after the dance, i think that may have been her favorite part!













we have a new addtion to the family! we adopted a 2 year old peekingese named Phoebe. She's been a wonderful addition!




Chloe's hair is finally long enough for pigtails! it's no simple task getting her to sit still for them, but it's worth it!






kaelyn was a pig in her school musical. she even had a speaking part!

we decided to send carter to kindergarten this fall. i had reservations because he'll be so young when he graduates highschool, but his preschool teacher seems to think that he will be bored in AK, so we're giving it a go, he's super excited!

The kids' last day of school is june 10th. they're really excited for summer to start. they'll be participating in a summer program again this year for school age kids. they will get to go swimming, and to movies and do crafts and play games and such. it's a great thing for them to have since it's hard for me to do those things with all the little ones i have during the day. Also, the girls have girlscout camp this year. 3 days and 2 nights in the wilderness! Kaelyn is super excited and Abby is a little nervous she will wake up with a snake on her bed, im sure she'll have a good time!
