Self Portrait Kate

Lately, I have been finding random pictures on my camera. The kids aren't aloud to use my camera without asking...but I haven't said anything to Kate so far because these pictures she is taking of herself are cracking me up. Enjoy.

First Halloween Party of the Year!

Dylan and Kate got to attend the Community Center's Halloween Party this year. They were so excited to pull out their costumes early.

I over did it a little with Kate this year...but hey, she might be my only girl and  I only let her wear make-up for Halloween...so don't judge;). Dylan must have been trying to look TUFF because I couldn't get him to smile. I think he is a little self-conscious because he is missing so many teeth.

I could eat them up, they are so yummy. Kate is only 4 years old for a few more weeks. I'm not ready for my little girl to be 5. That is TOO OLD.

We Love You President Packer!

With so much negative anger being directed towards President Boyd K. Packer, we decided to join the effort to mail President Packer 100,000 letters of encouragement by this Saturday.

If you feel that you would like to join in the effort by showing support for our dear President Packer, you can find this great stationary for free at http://scriptures4kids.com/children/lds-primary-activities/category/9-p-p.html .

The mailing address can also be found at the same link.

Another BOY!!!!

We are so excited to announce that we have been blessed with another BOY!!!

During the ultrasound I noticed it and said "look, it's a boy"...and the Doctor said, "wow, there is no questioning that"!

I thought it was a boy and was secretly hoping for a boy. Scott really thought it would be a girl. We made a bet and now he owes me dinner.

We are both so excited that Sawyer will have a little brother close in age. And I'm secretly hoping he will be just like him. Curly hair, fat thighs and all!!!

More preschool goodness.

The Waiting Game...

Kate has been waiting to take dance lessons for two years. When she first started she was 3 years old and she only lasted a month. I think that 3 years was too young for her, but within a month she regretted her decision to quit.

I was determined to teach her to take it more seriously and to appreciate the opportunity to attend a dance class.

I think the waiting paid off. I felt bad for denying her for so long, but I think she is ready now...AND COMMITTED. Plus, I wanted it to be something that she wanted to do...and not just the secret desire of her mother.

On Wednesday she was able to go to her first class and she loved it. Not only is Down Town Dance the greatest studio around, she also has the most amazing teacher.

This is the pose she came up with for me, right before entering her class. I was a proud momma!
