Future Gymnasts

Look out Shaun Johnson, here comes Maddie Holopirek. We took the camera to the park this weekend to get some clips of Maddie on the monkey bars. She truely is a "monkey" on those things. Her strength is so amazing to us. Everyone that has saw her do this has told us that they have never saw that much strength in a 4 year old. Most girls her age can't even make it past the first one. She loves to play on them at any park we go to and also on the one that we have at home. Here's a few clips.

And then there's Kynzie! She watches Maddie very closely and is trying to keep up! Maybe gymnastics will be her sport, but Matt and I think it will be more like football!

I Like It

Kynzie's new favorite saying is "I Like It" Here's a cute video of her saying that.

Kynzie's Owie

So here is Kynzie's "Owie" that Maddie has her class praying for. Poor girl fell off the slide at daycare. It looks worse today because it is starting to scab. But, you know Kynzie, barely even cried!

Maddie's in TROUBLE

Well, Maddie's back to school and getting back in the routine of things. She's at the same school as she was last year but in a new classroom with a different teacher. Apparantly her new teacher does things a little different than her teacher last year and it is taking Maddie some time to get used to. So..... on Monday Matt picked her up from school and noticed that her name was wrote on the board and said 5 minutes from Recess. Her teacher was already gone so Matt told me to ask about it in the morning. He asked Maddie why her name was on the board and she said she got in trouble for talking to her friend Addie during nap time. I asked her teacher about it the next morning and sure enough, Maddie was telling the truth. So.....Tuesday I go pick up Maddie from school and her name is on the board again. Her teacher was gone and I forgot to ask the teacher the next morning but Maddie said she was talking during circle time. So..... Wednesday I go to pick her up from school and wouldn't ya know, Maddie's name was wrote on the board AGAIN! Okay, this is getting a little scary. She NEVER got in trouble last year and her teachers have always told me how good she is and just last week her gymnastics intructor told me how well she listens and takes direction. So, this morning I asked her teacher why her name was on the board AGAIN for the third day in a row and she said that she was reading a book during naptime. As it turns out, last year in the 3 year old class, the kids were allowed to read and visit quietly during naptime if they could not sleep. Well, the rules are different for the 4 year old class. They are not allowed to read or talk to anyone. Her teacher did not seem too concerned about it and said that she just needs to get used to the new rules. Hopefully today I will not see her name on the board :) Oh Maddie, the rebel!

On a sweet note. Yesterday when I picked her up from school, I also noticed there was a column that said "Prayers" and under it were several people's names with something wrote next to it and there was Kenzy wrote on the board and next to it said "Owie." Maddie told me that she had asked the class to pray for Kynzie's owie that day and Mrs. Senn didn't know how to spell Kynzie's name. Aww, this was sooo sweet!

My Do It! Kynzie

Kynzie has become very independent

Maddie in Lake

Here's a short video of Maddie at the lake!

GREAT WEEKEND!

The girls and I went back this weekend and had a great time! Saturday we went out to the club for a bit and Maddie got to practice her putting while McKynzie just destroyed (I mean sat) in Uncle Jamie's cart.



The girls got to play with Hunter and Hooper for a little bit that night. I managed to snap a few pictures of the kids playing. Kynzie and Hunter were quite entertaining.

Sunday we went to the lake with Coco and Grandma Brenda. This was our first experience with them at the lake. We all had a blast. Maddie loved it right away and it took Kynze about 10-15 minutes to get warmed up and she was good to go. Water was a little chilly but we were still able to enjoy the entire day. Got there, ate lunch at marina, swam for a while, tubed for a while, went for a boat ride, got cleaned up, ate dinner and drove home. We got back about 9:45 pm. The girls and I were both WIPED OUT!

Kynzie's first picture of the day..... not too sure about things yet.

Maddie's first picture of the day.... lovin it!

Kynzie getting used to things and loosening up.
