Marley's dance costume

I am so happy that Marley is taking dance this year. She's attending Va-Del's where I took growing up. It's so fun having her at the same studio that I was at. This day we finally got her costume. It's so dang cute!

an excited mom showing off the costume "Oh how cute!" (Yes, Colt was making fun of my excitement and decided to capture the moment. :)

The whole thing. SO FUN!!

"Mom, I'm a pioneer..."

"... Now I'm a witch."

Marley, always so entertaining!!

new bed

WOW, it's been a while since I've posted. Here we come with a bunch of new pictures, how fun for me!! :)

We bought this day bed from a friend in the ward, spray painted it, and wa-la! The girls have a day bed with a trundle. Emma's bed is underneath and now sleeps on it, but they shared the bed for a while. It's awesome and gives the girls more space in their room. More space to play and make messes. :)

FHE

I have a "friend" on Facebook who every Monday he writes a little note about what they did for Family Home Evening and the events that happened. I thought I'd do that on my blog/journal, something fun/cute might happen that I will want to share with the kids when they're older. 

Tonight we talked about Enos and things that go with him... prayer, repentance, faith, and keeping the commandments. We talked about the commandments and this was the "sweet" part I wanted to remember. "Honor thy Mother and Father" - I asked them what this means. 

Corbin answered "Being nice to our Mother and Father in Heaven and our Mother and Father on earth." Obviously I only expected half of that answer. I was so impressed I asked him to repeat it, he did and then he says "Did I hit the nail on the head, Mom?" :) He's awesome. 

We played a board game called Book of Mormon Jungle Journey (which I always lose, like last place lose) and then Corbin tried teaching me and Colt how to spin a die like a top. I was so impressed with this little talent that he has. Even Marley did it a few times. It's pretty cool. 

Here is the die in (fast) motion. Strange, isn't it? We had a good night. I appreciate it when our kids behave during our FHE - it makes me look forward to the following week. 

Emma Girl

She loves to fold towels, she's so proud of herself. :)

Just Dance 2

This is probably one of the best games ever! All of us, yes - even Colt, likes this game. 

sleepy girl

This little one is a little... silly...

She is so shy that she would rather turn her feet purple by falling asleep in the kitchen while my visiting teacher was here. Yes, she's that shy. 

Falling asleep in the car seat - of course. Falling asleep in the high chair - been known to happen on occasion. Falling asleep while standing up - now that is just plain desperate and will also probably never happen again.
