SLACKER

Hi.
My name is Stacie, and um,
it's been almost 2 months since my last blog.

SO SUE ME!!!

Ha!

Here's our life, or rather, the last 2 months in pictures.

Lexi (L) and Maija turned 3 on March 28th.  WOW...we've come a long way. 

They have grown from these sweeties to...

to these sweethearts and have become the best of friends!

I hope they always hold each other this close!  Lexi on the left and Maija on the right.

We celebrated Easter with candy, bunny tracks, and even real bunnies!

And this Easter was made even more special with a Baptism of Annika Mary.
Josh and I are the proud Godparents!

Due to MANY illnesses this winter, Lexi and Maija's birthday party had to be cancelled. 
So Emma shared the spotlight with the twins on her 5th birthday. 
We had a swim/pizzaparty for all the relatives. 
I had to include this pic of my dad lighting the candle on our SpongeBob cake with his lighter. 
We would have had many unlit candles over the years if it weren't for his smoking habit!  HA!
Em-Dawg celebrated on her own on her actual day. 
The girl has a unique sense of style at such a young age. 
And not many people can rock the camo-look like she can.

This is Emma on her last day of preschool.  She had a
blast and can't wait for kindergarten to start. 

Ella was busy this Spring finishing up dance lessons and preparing for the recital.
1 dress rehearsal and 3 performances in one week.  She completely surprised me. 
She went from tears and nerves prior to the dress rehearsal to rockin' her routines
with confindence.  She had a great attitude and really enjoyed performing.
Finally, Ella finished up her 1st grade year with some World Games,
a field trip to the Bear Center in Ely,
a bridging ceremony up to Brownies,and a wonderful report card. 
Many more pictures to come of our summer fun.  I know I can do a better job keeping this updated.  I should say that in Ella's report card, there was one area where she went from an "E" to an "S-" and I feel TOTALLY responsible..."Turns in Homework".  See, I was slacking in all aspects of my life, I was a well-rounded slacker, a slacker of many trades, HAHA!  I hit a rough patch.  Enough said!
