We had a ton of fun in April! Clara and I joined the Engstroms at the high school to watch the Kingsburg High production of Singin' in the Rain. Lissa teaches the stagecraft class so it was fun to see their hard work. Clara absolutely loved it! There was lots of tap dancing and at one point when they were doing silly dances she said, "That's not how I tap dance!" The following week we went to Reedley High to see The Little Mermaid with Tia, Bailey, and Kate (Emmett reluctantly went with Dada to check out the car show). Sophia was in the play and it was Bailey's first time watching a play. The girls loved it of course! Reedley High has always had the best plays and although Mr. Norward retired, Sarah did an amazing job and it did not disappoint! It made me a little sad that Clara will never be in a Reedley High play.

The following day was the car show in Kingsburg. We went to the pancake breakfast and then checked out the cars. Emmett loved them, Clara was not as impressed. We headed to Emilia's first birthday party next and the kids had a blast celebrating the little lady. Highlights included a water table, pinata filled with dum dums, and of course the bounce house. Denae did a great job and everything was super cute!

We of course had tons of fun with the primos including playing sharks vs fish and of course matching dresses! If Bailey shows up at our house with a dress that Clara has she immediately has to change so they match! Elise started crawling so our mornings are now filled with watching/encouraging her to crawl!

We made a trip to the Fossil Discovery Center and the kids had a blast learning about animals/dinosaurs of the past. They got to find fossils in the sluice, see birds of prey, and even eat hot dogs!

Even though Eleanora was already born, we still went to one last baby shower for her. This was a fiesta theme and the kids had a blast jumping in the bounce house, eating Mexican food, and running around crazy! Emmett was so worn out that he immediately fell asleep on the way home and didn't wake up when I brought him inside. I finally had to wake him up an hour later!

We had lots of impromptu fun with Olive and Winnie! They now just run through the two yards between our houses playing and are constantly going to each other's' houses and asking if the other one can play! We also had lots of fun and some snuggles. I even got to go to a music class!
