Easter's Best

We hope you have a HAPPY EASTER! What a wonderful time of year!













Thanks Maga Karen for the Darling Outfits! We love them!

My last Class

Me on the Big Ball last week at 37 weeks.
side leg series


warm up



I taught my last Pilates class at the YMCA last week. I have been teaching here for about 4 years. I have really learned a lot and enjoyed meeting such great people. I will definitely miss teaching and the membership to our wonderful YMCA. I just thought i would document a few pictures because i don't know when or if i will get to teach again with the new baby and moving etc.

First signs of Spring!

We are so excited for Spring. We had a few warmer days last week where we got to play outside and go to the playground. Jocelyn ran inside and wanted me to see our first FLOWER! Hopefully it won't snow again but you can never count on that especially in Minnesota. playing on our swing set

I can't believe Easter is almost Here. Then Baby Boy is due on April 14! Only a few weeks left!

The Woolly Mammoth

Ellie, Jocelyn and their friend Kayleigh Childs
This last weekend the kids and I went to Quarry Hills Nature Center to see the giant Woolly Mammoth display. We went through Jocelyn's school so it was fun to see teachers and friends and learn more about these animals. the Woolly Mammoth

Jocelyn and the giant Sloth




Ellie with the Mammoth Caden's favorite part...
Caden digging up the bones or just throwing the sand/ wheat or what ever it was in the air.

Sporting Events

Jocelyn and Ellie just started some tennis lessons for a few weeks. They really have not played any tennis before. They really enjoyed their first class with lots of fun drills with balloons, large Nerf type tennis balls and hand paddles. Jocelyn
