There's Always Room For Jello

Sometimes I wish I could be a kid again! Karrah was ecstatic to be covered with chocolate pudding. The smile says it all. This classic cameo was accompanied by the cutest little girl laugh; a soft chuckle followed by sucking in air with the perfect smiley eyes. It is easy to see past the mess. No duck squeezing Wal-mart camera operator (no offensive) could capture such a pure moment of childhood. Got to love it.

Ballet Class

I thought it was time to get Hannah involved with something, she needed something that would help her follow instructions, nursery only helps so much and since we are planning to homeschool I thought we better jump in to the extra curricular activities. Although I am not sure this is going to help her learn to sit still for sunbeams in January (poor sunbeam teacher)!!
Hannah had so much fun, I think her favorite part though was looking at herself in all those mirrors and hanging from the ballet bars(which I unfortunatly didn't get a picture of!)!! Sorry about the window pattern they made us sit outside becuase of "lack of room" even though it was a huge room before they split it in half with a partitioning wall which isn't a big deal it just didn't make for very good picture taking :) !!
In a class of 3-5 year olds most of them tended to do their own thing everyonce and a while but I am pretty sure Hannah was one of the youngest, even one girl that I thought was Hannah's age was at least a year older. She definetly was doing her own thing more often then the others.

But I find myself asking the question does this come from age or from personality?

I thought this was a fun effect for ballet class, I just figured out how to get the camera to do this while sitting there at the rec center. Oh and the others are a little fuzzy becuase I was having a hard time finding the kids and pets setting!!

Potty Training

I was starting to wonder if Hannah would ever potty train but low and behold I think we are almost there. Yesterday Karrah went in and woke Hannah up and the first thing Hannah did was to head to the potty. Granted her pull up was already soaked and I noticed to late to tell if she had actually put anything in the commod. But besides yesterday she has been waking up dry quite often as of late. And yesterday No accidents! I think the real test will be nursery on sunday. Wish us luck!!....now if Karrah would just sleep through the night....

Like Mother, Like Daughters

The picture on the left is me when I was little,

I believe it is powdered sugar.

The one on the right the girls on fri, this time

a plaster of paris powder.

I was planning on going on a mother/daughter date with Hannah

that night to the rainbow library for a signing time event but

after having to clean this up I was way too exhausted!!

They do grow up!

Check out the stunning difference 2 years makes

Happy 3rd Birthday Hannah

Better Late Than Never

These pictures are from our trip up to Provo for our Mission reunion. I was very disappointed we didn't take any pictures at the reunion, especially ones of the girls playing with their new friends Ammon & Abigail, Emily (my trainer) & Andrews kids.

I did how ever snap a couple of pictures while we were up there.

We stayed with one of Ben's best buddies form the civic center ward Jason & his wife Brittany's

The top picture is Jason helping the girls feed the ducks and the second is Brittany entertaining the girls at their apartment.
