Good news, bad news

The good news is that after 2 1/2 years with Wells Fargo Financial, Mike has been promoted to Branch Manager!!

The bad news is the branch he will be managing is in Manhattan, Kansas. So we will be moving soon...very, very soon!

More details to come...

My Little Dollhouse

Last week the girl's got invited to a birthday party at a cute little party place called My Little Dollhouse. They have all kinds of dress-up clothes, do the girl's hair, paint nails, and put make-up on. They have baby dolls, tea party sets, hula hoops, and a castle bounce house. It is the ultimate girly experience. Grace changed her outfit at least 3 times, while Sabrina chose to wear her first pick the entire time. Sabrina refused to let them touch her hair, no surprise there as she hardly lets me touch her hair these days and she only ever wants a barrett, NO ponytails! They both loved all the "sprinkles" (glitter) that they put on their eyes, nails, and hair.

The whole group of princesses


Once the girls were all done up, they did a little runway show. They would annouce each girl and then try to get them to walk to the star and pose. Grace was the only one who really did it, but she was also the oldest girl there. She was so into it and I have laughed every time I've watched this video. Hilarious!

They gave all the girls pom pons and had them dance together. So cute!

I see many more trips to My Little Dollhouse in our future!

Our favorite game

Ok this is the last new post for the day and I will be totally caught up! What a slacker I've been! Our family has a new favorite game that is actually one that my family played when we were little. It's called "Wild Willy". My mom has fancy cards that she uses, but we just use some Old Maid cards to play. You lay out 8 different Old Maid cards and then send one person out of the room. While that person is gone you pick a card to be "Wild Willy". When the person comes back, there is a small treat (chocolate chips or m&m's work best in our opinion) on each card and that person starts picking treats off the cards one at a time. When they eat the treat off "Wild Willy" then everyone screams "Wild Willy" and that person's turn is over. The kids love this game and we love watching them play.

We love the keeper!

So Friday night was Aunt Jenny and Aunt Sarah's last soccer game of the regular season and since it was the last home game it was also Senior Night. Mike and I stayed up late Thursday night making t-shirts for the kids to wear in support of Aunt Jenny (we'll make some for Aunt Sarah next year). I thought they turned out pretty cute. They say "We love the keeper" on the front and "Burkinshaw" with Jenny's number (0) on the back. We got lots of comments on them. They won their game so they play in the first round of play-offs next week and you better believe we will be there watching, t-shirts and all. We love Aunt Jenny and Aunt Sarah!

Matchy, Matchy

I couldn't resist the chance to have cute matching Sunday outfits. Now I just need to find Mike a tie and we can take family pictures.
