Uh oh!

This little girl is sure a handful!  Last week she drug me into the bathroom saying over and over again, "Uh, oh! Uh, oh!" When we got to the bathroom she showed me what she did.  When I asked her who did it she replied with her hands by her cheeks, "I don't know!"

George

Jas got us tickets to go see Martina McBride and George Strait!  It was SO much fun.  We were five rows from the stage so we had a great view the whole night!!  Too bad I left my camera at home so I didn't get any good ones of them preforming since the lighting was not good, but I did get one on my cell phone of just me before the concert started.  I should have had someone take a picture of the both of us.  Oh well!  

Cheer Camp!

Today Miss E was able to attend a Cheerleading Camp!  How exciting!  Then later in the day all the girls were invited back to the gym to preform at the half time of the boys basketball game.  Too cute!

First Hair Cut

Baby A finally had her first trim this week, right after her bath.  She sat so nice for it!  I took off about an inch and a half, so it is mostly all one length now.  She has needed a trim for quite some time, but I just loved how long some of the pieces were!  She does look much better!  Can't believe how big she is getting!  Not our little baby anymore, however I think she might just always be MY little baby!  ;-) 

More Kindergarten Fun!

Yes, it was well below zero outside, but what better way to warm up then by having a Hawaiian day in Kindergarten?!?!  Miss E says, "Aloha!"

Opposite Day

Today in Kindergarten we are learning about the letter O and about opposites.  The kids were asked to dress in opposites.  Miss E has her shirt on backwards, two different boots, earrings, and barrettes, and she also has one ponytail up and one ponytail down.  She was just as excited about Opposite Day as she was on the first day of school!  :-)

Backpack Reading Activity

This week little E got a backpack full of fun night time stories to read with Mommy and Daddy from his preschool teacher.  There was even a flashlight for reading in the dark and snacks!  How cool is that!  Even Mommy couldn't remember the last time she had so much fun reading!  

Swimming Lessons

Last night the kids started swimming lessons!  I was really proud of both of them!  They were much more comfortable in the water then I thought they would be!  

I love how small the student to teacher ratio is!  In Miss E's Level 1 group there were three students.

And in Little E's preschool group there was just him and another little boy.  I think that really helps when they can get so much one on one attention/instruction!

They are both super pumped about going back next week!  :-)

Squirrel Buddies

At the home games the varsity girls basketball team picks two students from grades K through 6 to be on the roster with them and be their Squirrel Buddies!  Miss E was chosen and had the time of her life!!!

Here she is with her squirrel buddy!

They got to go into the locker room before the game for the pep talk.  Then they ran out with the team for warm-ups!

They then stood with the girls for the Star Spangled Banner.

And were part of the starting line up.

And the team huddle.

Then they sat the whole game at the end of the bench, cheering on the squirrels!  What a fun night!!  The basketball fever has certainly set in after being a Squirrel Buddy!  Miss E has been practicing every night since in the garage!  ;-)

Donuts with Dad

This week in Kindergarten Miss was learning all about the letter D!  Everyone even got to bring their dads to school to eat delicious donuts!  She told every she thinks her Dad is Dino-mite because he takes her fishing.  Daddy had fun and was sad when he had to leave and go back to work!  Thanks Mrs. P for a fun morning!

Bath #2

Baby A has been quite the handful lately!  The other night Mommy got Baby A out of the bathtub, put her pjs on, and then went to get Little E in the tub.  As she was getting everything cleaned up Baby A went into to Little E's room and poured out all his fish food all over the carpet.  As Mommy went to get the vacuum cleaner and Baby A then ran back into the bathroom and jumped in the tub!  Can you say, TROUBLE?!?!

Alumni Basketball Game

While we were home over the break we played in an alumni basketball game!  I had a lot of fun seeing old friends and getting to play back in the gym I had so many fond memories of!  It was an added treat getting to play with my sis, who I never actually got to play in a real game with other then open gyms.  

Here we are after the game!  We survived!  Heidi was actually the high score of the game (imagine that!)  She's still got it, unlike the rest of us. . . our game has long been lost!

Dad's banner is still on the wall in the same spot it was when I was in high school.  Chris got a close up of it, I'll have to try to get it off my camera phone. . . but you can kind of see it in this picture!  :-)

1, 2, 3 Pin!

 Nana and Papa got the boys singlets this year!  They are pretty cute!!! (Even when they are trying to look tough!)  ;-)

Christmas

We spent five days at Nana and Papa's and had a BLAST!  We haven't been able to spend that much time there in a while and it was really nice being home!

The kids never got tired of Uncle Tom giving horsie rides!  However, I think Tom did!  ;-)

 This picture shows my favorite holiday memory this year!  Millicent opened her first gift from Nana and Papa (horsie jammies) and before she even knew what it was she started hugging them and jumping up and down while saying "I love it, I love it, I LOVE IT!"  It was the cutest thing I think I have ever seen!  

We even got in G's Lego fourth birthday party!  Happy birthday buddy!  We LOVE you!  XOXO
