Vivian's first ballet

Me and Vivian went on a date to the Cinderella Ballet!

Wearing our prettiest dresses for the evening!

Viv was most excited about what we where going to wear :)

I love this girl!

Sitting in the 3rd row and ready for the ballet to start!!

For the first act Vivian sat perfectly still and didn't miss a dance move.

During the second act she got a little wiggly and we skipped out on the 3rd act.

Intermission may have been my favorite part.

Only because Vivian couldn't help but dance like a ballerina!

Good times with my mini :)

Our Family (professional) Pictures 2014

Wallace Family 2014

Me and Marshall have the BEST looking off spring!

But they sure are a challenge to photograph.

This lil' man is always on the move (most of my pictures of him are blurry)

and he only laughs at the funniest of funny jokes.

But when he does smile it's priceless!

Guess I'll have to settle for blurry smiling pictures of him :)

And that's okay, cuz that's our reality!

Me and my biggest fan :)

Daddy, Vivian and Colter.

Rollin was refusing to participate during this scene.

Our sweet flock of birdies.

This picture actually says a lot.

Rolli is smiling his best smile so that he can go back to searching for treasure,

Vivian is being a good lil mommy holding on tight to Colter while stealing the spot light,

and Colter is doing his best to break free and explore on his own.

Eyes like the sky.

Eyes like river rocks.

The best of pals!

The trio.

These two stole my heart!

My super hero and me :)

When I came home from work last week the 5 of us sat outside and looked at the moon.

In that moment Vivian announced that she liked it when we are a "whole family".

Rolli agreed.  We all agree :)

Our Whole Family!

Thanks to Erica Moshe for being patient with our feral children 

while photographing our faces!

Fair 2014!

It's fair time again!

Well, actually the Chelan County Fair is over now.

We went last Friday with Aunt Lindsey and Miles.

Rolli, Viv, Colter and Me started this year's fair experience in the 

youth open class art section.

Rolli and Viv both received blue ribbons (5 each) on all of their salt dough creations!

Next a short tour through the animal barns.

The pig barn.

Vivian, Rolli and Miles all agreed that the pigs where stinky and not very soft.

Look close and you can see the big horns on this goat.

Wow!  Miles said this must be "the King".

Viv and Rolli petting a freshly bathed goat.

Colter.

Looking like a big kid in his new ride.

But not very happy about being confined.

I'm sure he would have LOVED to terrorize the entire fair grounds.

Viv and Rolli petting the softest bunny named "Oreo".

Then we moved on to the anticipated carnival rides.

With unlimited ride bracelets the three cousins had some crazy fun! 

Vivian.

Rollin.

Miles.

Vivian and Rolli riding the airplanes again!

Miles, Vivian and Rolli.

Ready for the Dragon Rollercoaster!

YAaaa!

A little carnival game fun!

Me and Colter watching the big kids on the rides.

The cousins on the Flying Dragon.

Rolli, Vivian and Miles.

Going through the clear wall and glass maze.

Silly stuff!

Down the slide!

This was a really slick slide.

Weeee!

Rockin' Tug Boat.

Viv and Rolli sat facing Miles for this ride :)

The Haunted House!

Rolli was the only kid who would go through the Haunted House.

And he loved it!

We went through it at least 4 times!

Mommy and Rolli from inside the Haunted House :)

Fun times with my brave guy!

The Dragon's Belly!

I think this ride was their FAVorite!!

Lindsey and I could hear all three cousins laughing as they spinned past us :)

Few that was a lot of rides for my little 4-year-olds.

We had to refuel with sno cones and live country music before calling it enough.

Viv is already talking about the "project" that she is going to make for next year's fair.

And Rolli just wants to go on rides.

I can't wait to go again next year!

Coon Lake

The hike to Coon Lake.

This was a short, hot hike and we almost didn't make it.

Luckily Daddy was willing to carry Vivian.

And Rolli is super strong!

Wallace Family.

Yay!  We hiked to Coon Lake!

Coon Lake.

Mommy and Colter.

Watching the twins swim with Daddy.

Daddy and Rolli getting in the water.

Rolli loved this!

Dragon flies where hovering all around him in the lake!

Daddy and Vivian.

Vivi liked the refreshing dip but not the sticky trail dirt afterwards.

Well worth the hike!

But I sure can't wait until the kids are able to hike without complaining!

Rainbow Falls and the school

For our first day in Stehekin we visited Rainbow Falls.

Colter and Mommy at the base of the falls.

The short hike to the viewing point.

Vivian.

And all the energy of Rainbow Falls!

Daddy Marshall.

This guy was the only one who would pose for a picture :)

Daddy showing the twins what licorice fern is.

They didn't like it.

Beautiful Miss Mae enjoying the beauty of Rainbow Falls.

Daddy and Rolli being boys and throwing rocks into the water :)

Vivian, Colter and Mommy.

After our lunch break at Rainbow Falls we took a short stroll to the original Stehekin school.

Vivian and Rollin.

Ready for school.

Class is in session.

Teacher Vivian.

This could easily be her future.

She's a natural ;)

Teacher Rollin.

Definitely a know-it-all. 

Mommy, Colter, Daddy and Rolli.

Schools out for summer!
