Lexie did a dance workshop last week. She had an hour of tap and ballet every day. She did the workshop at the same place I danced growing up. I was able to help teach her class and also teach the ballet portion of another workshop. It was fun to be involved in dance again. Lexie is a very talented dancer. It will be fun to watch her grow and improve her dancing.

This is Kamree's picture face. If I ever bring out the camera she flashes this face. Never fail! I love it!! Jorden and Kamree have been playing a lot lately it is very fun to watch.

WHAT A MESS !!!!!!!!

So....I spent a few hours on the phone one afternoon, of course mom's do not have time to talk on the phone!! But it was a well needed conversation. Here is what happens when you ignore your kids too long. This is the result of a whole box of rice krispies dumped out on the floor. Who do you think was the one who made the decision to dump it out? Jorden of course!

"Our house".....or should I say, "The house" Jeff is building!

Jeff is building our second house right now. He works on it all day (literally) every day (except Sundays of course). We plan on just selling the house and we will only move in if it has not sold by the time it is done. Crazy life, yes I know!! Part of me would love to move into it because it is an awesome plan and would be fun to live in! But on the other hand the sooner it sells, the sooner I can eventually have my own house. Also, I could live without 2 more moves in my life. We will just have to see what happens. Until then, Jeff is working really hard on it and it is fun to see the progress!!

TRAPPED!!!

When Kamree wakes up in the morning or from a nap Jorden likes to go in her room and play with her. Jorden climbs in Kamree's crib and they play in there for a little bit. It is especially nice in the mornings. I can continue to lay in my bed and have a little bit of peace before I get up and get busy!!!

Yummy shish-ka-bobs! Aren't these beautiful! One great thing about summer is the BBQ!

MY GIRLS!!!

Awwww....so precious! (love pictures that spotlight drool)

Kamree is so awesome about going to sleep! All she needs is her armful of babies and her fishies turned on and she is done! (I made the mistake of leaving and coming back in with the camera because she looked so cute. She was not too happy about me disturbing her peace)!

Well we are back together as a family and enjoying normal life again! We moved into a rental so I am very happy to have my stuff out of storage and have my own place again!! We start digging tomorrow on our new house!! Yes it sounds exciting, except I might not live in it because we are going to sell it. One day I hope to have my own house that I can stay in and call home....it's O.K. to dream, right?? The joys of life with a husband who can build houses :) Our family is excited for summer! Bring on the sun!! Jeff will be busy building so the girls and I plan on just playing all summer! I hope to keep my blog up to date now that we are settled again with my own computer, so check back in from time to time and let me know how you are all doing!

Lexie and I made pizzas last night. We made the dough from scratch and they were quite tasty. Lexie loves to help me in the kitchen. She really enjoyed playing with some flour when we were done. She loved the feel of it on her hands! Kids are a good reminder of the joy we can find in the simple things of life!

Sleepyhead Jorden....zzzzzzzz

Jorden just can't seem to stay awake these days. She has not consistantly taken naps for quite some time, but for the last week she has taken one every day. She can't make it through the day with out one. I am not sure what to think about it. Of course it is great that she is taking a nap, but the problem comes when she will not go to sleep on time.....I wonder how long this will last??

Lexie LOVES her new bike!!!

Never a dull moment.......

We start music lessons early at our house!!

Cuddle time......Kamree loves her sisters

I want it....just give it to me....it's my birthday, I can cry if I want to....

Frosting is good......

How about I just eat the whole thing....

MMMmmmm......

That was GREAT!!!

Kamree loves chairs...she is a silly girl!!

Easter Bunnies

BRIDES-TO-BE

Lexie is very into wedding dresses and weddings! Lexie wanted a wedding dress so bad!! My mom found these leotards at her dance studio and added length to them and sent them to the girls for their birthdays. Now they have wedding dresses and they LOVE them!! I love the poses they chose for their bridal shots. They were very particular about how they wanted to look in the photos!! They will make beautiful brides some day!!

Super Hero Girls!!

Lexie wants to be a "real super hero"! She got some super hero costumes for her birthday.

The Day family is safe now that we have "real" super heros in the house!

Happy Birthday to Lexie!!

Lexie turned 5 and is sooo big! Lexie loves birthdays and just can't wait to grow up and be 16!! Lexie has expectations for things that she will be able to do at each age. A few weeks after her birthday she told me that I lied to her. She said that she really is not 5 because she is not doing things that 5 year olds should do!!

I'M A BIG GIRL NOW!!!!!

Kamree's favorite thing is to pull herself up on ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. Fun for her, but not for mom!!

Winner of Pretty, Pretty Princess.....

As you can see dad loves to have girls! He was a great sport playing this game and he ended up winning. Way to go dad, you look great!!!

Daddy Date.......

Lexie and daddy had a lot of fun spending time together one afternoon. Lexie planned the date. First they went to Walmart to get mom a present, then to McDonalds, then they went to a pet store to look at puppies, they finished at the train musuem. They had soooo much fun! Lexie loves her daddy!!!

WHHOOOOAAAA!!!

Jorden loves to be thrown high in the air by daddy! We got this great shot with the beautiful sunset behind. We are sledding by a friends cabin on Lake Tahoe.

LOVE THIS FACE......CAN'T GET ENOUGH!

Sledding......

So Jeff was pulling Lexie around the driveway with the four wheeler and decided to make a jump. Lexie had so much fun!!

My Cowgirl

Love this girl.......great sword!!!

Fun in the snow......

One of Lexie's favorite thing to do with snow is eat it!!

I love my little pink marshmallow!!!

Lexie's other favorite snow activity is throwing snowballs!!

Picking Dad up from the airport.....

So of course we imagined this experience for months and we were so excited.....but then things did no go how we planned. Dad's plane was delayed 4 hours!!!!! We had already waited 5 months to see him and now we had to keep waiting....then Jorden and Kamree fell asleep so just Lexie and mom went to the airport. It was still great to see him. Kamree and Jorden did wake up so we all hung out until 12:30 a.m. Welcome home Daddy!!!
