Par-tay at my house!

I have all of the nieces over today!

Here is everyone, bright and early at 7:30 am!

 A little dress up.

 Then out to harass the chickens.

 Group shot for Grandma and Grandpa.

 Hugging their popsicles.

 Popsicles always make everything just a bit more fun.

Playing four little monkeys jumping on the bed.

And, of course, Texas sledding.

Here is Mirek clapping for the sledders.

Right now it's "quiet time" while the baby sleeps. Basically I just put on a movie (Despicable Me), give them a bunch of candy, and close the door. It's working....(while I'm upstairs drinking beer and on the computer.)

Gymnastics

The gymnastics competition season is coming fast! USA gymnastics developed new routines this year for all of the levels and the girls just started working on them a few weeks ago.

Here is a video of Eaden learning her new beam routine.

The new warm-ups and leotards are starting to come in and of course Eaden is excited.

We have not yet received the new $175 leotard (that's right! $175!!!!).

Also, if you are into gymnastics (which I'm sure most of you aren't lol), Simone Biles, who is on the team at Eaden's gym, will be competing next weekend in the U.S. Secret Classic with some of the Olympians. She is awesome and we will be rooting for her big time!

When I tell Mirek to "say cheese," this is the face he makes.

This is a picture of Eaden from last year's Hummingbird Festival.

Relax.

I don't really feel like blogging these days, but I figure I'll try to keep it going without much effort. I'll feel like it again soon I'm sure...

These stray kittens are making themselves at home in our chicken coop.

 Making presents for birthday parties this weekend.

 And always gymnastics.
