just 5 days...

after finishing antibiotics, she has a fever, cough and yes more sinus problems.
but apparently there is still time for magnets and a superman cape.

 thank you Motrin.

Just don't get caught taking pictures or you get the sad face!

loves

So I have been trying to give up my first love,  her red and silver can of deliciousness.  Yes it is hard for me...Yes I know I should have more control of myself than I do.  But I was doing pretty good, not perfect but pretty good.  Then Casey went to Las Vegas this week.  The girls are coughing, and snotting (I know that is not a word) and NOT sleeping....

Welcome back my good good friend!
I just can't do everything.  :)
maybe I'll try again soon.

unicorn

Have you seen these?  They come in all sorts of sizes and shapes but Kate thought these were so fun.

After "taking all day" on the Pegasus she let Elle from next door help her with the unicorn.
Kate's Heaven...

chicken

Today Gentry's preschool went on a tour of the near by Chick-fil-a.  We had a great time playing on their toys and seeing friends.  Did you know they squeeze their own lemons for the lemon aid every day?
Preschool + lunch = a great day!

mary poppins

also known as the best day of the year!
Dance Concert time...
The girls love dancing on the stage,  they adore the attention, Gentry really got into to it this time realizing the applause was for her.  "Did Papa clap for me?"  Yes baby girl we all clapped for you!
I really loved the theme this time one of my all time favorite movies.

First... you have to have red lipstick!

 Hayli in "love to laugh"  She particularly loved this edit, how she adores the center of attention!

 Gentry was a "little Mary"  and a butterfly in "lets go fly a kite."  Also fun to have Ella in the same class.

 Kate was a barnyard animal (pig) in "supercalifragilistic" and a bird in "feed the birds"

Thanks TDC for another great semester, see you in the spring!

ipod

Kate was playing with Hayli's ipod, I asked her to put it away.
          "But mom I need to hear music!"
          "then go get my ipod, don't play with Hayli's when she isn't here."
          "Mom, you don't even have Hannah Buntana"

        "yes I do"
        "you do? I didn't know you had music"
The reason I have so much of the music they like on my ipod, they use it more than I ever do.
For the rest of the afternoon we saw this kid singing and swaying to Hannah while eating raisin-bran with no milk out of a cup.
It was a good day.

again

sinus infection.

...breath better today little one.

never,

they never get old.
princess everyday.

but we made it through the first week of January.

Trying to get back to a schedule, trying to be productive......trying.
Yes that is chocolate pudding all over her face, that is where we keep it.  :)
Happy Friday!

2012

Welcome!
Looking back, on 2011 we had good times, we had hard times, we absolutely had learning times.  Lets take what we learned and become better...  Help us to always remember the blessings, as we have so much to be grateful for.

 2012, even knowing you come with your own set of challenges, a new year brings new beginnings.  We hope to learn, we hope to progress and mostly we hope to remember to enjoy all that you will bring.

Ps did I mention this one graduated to primary...One big time sunbeam over here!  She couldn't be more pleased with herself.

Happy New Year!
