Homework

This little girl really wants to be big like her brother and sister. She is always doing her homework.

It takes serious concentration.

Dance Recital

Gretchen had her dance recital tonight. She did great and was super cute. Gretchen dances at the same studio as 3 of her cousins. They are all so fun to watch.  Aunt Andrea and Gretchen surprised me with this picture.  I was not able to take Gretchen to her pictures this year. 

Gretchen had lots of people there to support her.  Grandma and Aunt Annette came from Idaho.  I only got a picture with Grandpa Cleverly.  Aunt Fran brought flowers for Gretchen.  Of course Aunt Andrea, Uncle Chuck and Marshal were also cheering Gretchen on. 

Random soccer pictures

 Apparently I only took one picture of Easton all season.  Here he is playing defence.

Tying shoes

This cute girl learned how to tie her shoes.

On Pinterest I found this magic finger trick.

It took a little bit longer then 5 minutes but she is now tying her shoes like a pro.
