Gymnastics Presentation

Alex finished up her gymnastics class at the Y with a presentation where they performed various exercises they had learned in the previous months. She loved the 'cheese pit' and was very proud of her blue ribbon (she took it to school the next day)

Plaza Fiesta

Here is Alex and Jack going down the slide and out of sight........nearly knocking me over.

Alex is 5!!

Alex turned 5 on Saturday and she celebrated princess style at Oogles N Googles

Myrtle Beach - Slide

Here is Alex going down the slides at the hotel. Unfortunately I didn't get any footage of her going down the big slides.

Myrtle Beach - Mini Golf

Alex's first trip to mini golf, her first hole, her very first stroke (with a pink ball) -- Resulted in a hole in one!! It was amazing. And she beat us........

Myrtle Beach - Alligator Adventure

We enjoyed our trip to Alligator Adventure today. There were thousands of alligators & crocs as well as a tiger, turtles, zebra, donkey, birds, snakes, lizards, fish, frogs and otters. We got to see them feed Utan, the biggest croc of all!!

Utan is in the background.......

And here is the Utan feeding - he is 44 yrs old, 2000 lbs and about 20 ft long. He may live 90+ years. He is allegedly the largest croc in the world in captivity and he eats 2 rabbits per week.

Claire's pics from school

Here are a couple pics of Claire at school. She loves the sandbox and what can you say about the second pic......Nice hair!

Just along for the ride....

Alex wanted to go for a spin tonight in her jeep and Claire was along for the ride........buckle up.

Pictures from the past.....

I came across these pics and thought they deserved a post......enjoy.

Legend has it that the great sumo match of 1997 was one of the three best matches in sumo history.


















I'm not sure what I was thinking here.....

Here's Tara with her favorite stuffed animal and Spiderman!!

Claire!

Claire insisted on wearing my hat today so I grabbed the camera for a quick photo shoot.
