A Wonderful Wicked time!

Last night I had the opportunity to go see WICKED at the Capital Theater with my Mom, sisters and oldest Niece. My Dad stood in line months ago in the freezing snow the day they went on sale and got a bunch of tickets. One was for my niece Sydney for her 14th Birthday which was on April 13th and she was given the ticket and was so excited. Then he still had 6 others and so my sister in law Britt bought two of them and her and her mom also came with us. So it was Myself, Mom, sister Tiff and Michele, Sydney and Brittany and her mom Stacey. Britt and her mom went to dinner at a different place and met us at the play and the rest of us went to Olive Garden downtown and had a yummy dinner before the show.

I had never really seen much about Wicked, just heard a few songs that my niece has danced to. Sydney did a dance to the song "Popular" and I loved it!

So when that song came on during the performance I was excited because I actually knew that one and it was so cute. The girl who was playing Glinda was hilarious and so good!

The hole performance was very good and cute and it was a lot of fun having a girls night out with my family. My dad was great for watching my kids until Lance got home from work and then he dropped them off at home and Lance was in charge. Lance got them both to bed and I was able to have a fun and relaxing night so Thank You Dad and my hubby for letting that happen!

And also a Thanks to my parents for getting the tickets and inviting me to go.

Here are a few pictures from the night. I didn't get a group one with Britt and her mom since they met up with us at the Theater before the show.

Thanks girls for a fun night!!

A few firsts for the twins!

Last weekend Lance was able to have some time off and so we decided we better get the Swing set up that we had bought for the kids for Easter. So we started putting that together on Friday night after Lance got off work. We put the kids outside on a blanket and let them play. Sawyer kept crawling over to Lance to try and help him, it was so cute!
Then that weekend we were able to take the kids to the Zoo for the first time and they seemed to like it. They love riding in their stroller and being able to see things. They could not see a lot of the small animals because they were in the cages and so it was harder for us to point to them and have them actually see them, but they loved the Giraffes, Zebras and Lions.

So here are some pictures from those events.. :)

Lance getting the swing set ready to put together, he didn't even change out of his work clothes he has been excited to get this up for the kids. He loves doing stuff for them and seeing how much they enjoy it. It was cute! Sawyer and Sadie hanging out

The kids and I watching Daddy work

Sawyer getting in on the action Sawyer working really hard. It was so cute that he wanted to be by his Daddy.
He kept trying to turn the screws so it looked like he was really working, so cute!
Sadie eating the instruction manual Making progress...

And the finished product.. Good job Daddy!

Sadie taking her first swing, they loved it!

Sawyer was having a great time, the second we put him in he started giggling!
Trying out the slide! Sawyer was not so sure about that.. Sadie thought it was pretty fun!

HOGLE ZOO

In the stroller and ready for our adventure at the Zoo!

The twins having fun

Sadie being a turkey and trying to pull her bow out. Later that day she succeeded and got it out! That is one thing that drives me crazy when she does that and messes up her hair. I know she is just a baby and I should not worry so much about it, but I always said that I hoped my girl would like wearing bows and keep them in her hair. Well I guess I cursed myself because she won't always leave them in and it makes me nuts! Owell, not much I can do about it. When she tries it I tell her No and she just smiles at me like I am going to do it anyway! :)

We were trying to show the kids the Elephants here, but there were a lot of people in the way.

Checking out the Gorillas

Our family photo in front of the Zoo, I hate this picture of me and almost did not put it up. For some reason the way I was standing makes me look a lot bigger than I really am.. Gotta love when the camera does that. :(

Daddy and Sawy boy checking out the Giraffe's

Mommy and Sadie

Sawy up high on Daddy's shoulders.

And Sadie, both the kids love riding on Daddy's shoulders. I had not noticed before but looks like Sadie lost her shoes before this picture.

Some lady was standing next to me when I was taking the other pictures of Lance and the kids and she wanted to take one of the 4 of us for us, so she was trying to get the kids to look and they just would not. I told her it was OK and she could just take it, finally after trying for a few minutes she gave up and just took it. As you can see the kids were not interested! But it was nice of her to try. Well again I went crazy with the pictures, but I just love taking them and posting lots!

Easter Sunday!

I decided that I needed to post our Sunday activities on a different post since the last post was getting to long and this one I needed to put a bunch more pictures on so if you missed the rest of our Easter weekend check the post after this one so you can see all the other fun things that we did this weekend. So here are the Sunday Easter pictures, enjoy!

This is Sadie Sunday morning seeing what the Easter bunny brought her

And Sawyer, he was not as interested..

The Easter bunny brought the kids swings to go along with the Swing set they are getting this week from us! And then they got a few little things in their baskets as well.

Here is one of our family pictures. We didn't realize till after how much my dad's neighbors cars were in the back ground.. Owell.. Sawyer was not wanting to look at the camera.

Second attempt outside. That morning when we went to put Sawys shoes on I had forgotten that I was suppose to buy him some new ones since his others were too small. OOPS! Well when I bought Sadie's I totally forgot and so he has some other shoes on that don't go that great with his outfit. But it was too late to go buy more on Sunday so he just had to wear those. :)

We decided to try a few pictures inside since it was getting windy outside. The lighting must not have been the best because they turned out a little dark. Not sure if it was that or my camera. I think they still turned out cute! This was at my parents house.

Sweet Sadie in her pretty dress checking out her Easter basket from Grammy and Bompa
I am not sure who the kids are watching or listening to, but I thought it was so cute because they are trying to listen so good.
Sawyer kept trying to attack Sadie while we were trying to get pictures.. You will see in the ones I am posting that they are so funny. He wanted her bow and wanted to keep pulling her dress he was being a stinker. But it was making us laugh at the same time!
My little man

The twins with their Easter baskets from Grandma and Grandpa Kuehne
Sawy loved the crinkle that the plastic was making on his basket

He knows he is doing something wrong, he was looking at me when I was telling him to leave sister alone. In this picture.

Here he is getting her dress

Trying to pull her bow.. He normally is such a sweet little boy.. But I think Sadie has attacked him a few to many times and so he was getting her back! :)

I love his face in this picture, he looks so innocent!

He was trying to be silly here.. He really has his Dad's funny personality and comedy act.

Sadie trying to get him back

I LOVE this picture! He looks like such a little stud! Chillin with his arm up on the chair..

And here is poor Sadie after being picked on all day, she would not take one more picture for me by herself. Owell she still looks adorable in her dress! I will be taking the kids to get pictures taken and our family picture of the 4 of us done soon. So hopefully they will turn out better. Even though these ones are cute and funny. :)

These are some of the pictures of the kids after they had taken their nap and everyone else had left. These are their Easter shirts I bought them and bibs that Grammy bought them. They were playing with my Dad and Mom and there was a extra balloon that got left from the party the other night so they were playing with that.

This picture is me exactly. I have one in my baby book that looks the same. I should post them sometime side by side. When I saw this picture of her I looked in my book and sure enough there is one of me that looks the same.

Sadie giving hugs to brother even after he was being a turkey with her today!

Big kisses!

They love their Grandpa

Well that's all the millions of pictures I had to share, Thanks for baring with me.. I just have some many I can never choose just which one's to post!
