crazy frog CC

CC is full of energy and loves to be in front of a crowd. The girls danced at a competition at Lagoon on Saturday and did a great job. I had a fun time making the frog costume for her dance team this year. I used stryofoam ball for the eyes. The painter was masking off the basement ot paint and I had the idea to paint her some green frog shoes too!. She loves it. She is so independent and love dancing by herself.

CC's kindergarden program

I love listening to the children sing. I get all teary and sentimental. I love it. CC's class sang some songs and showed a slide show of the year. CC was just beaming as Grandma, Grandpa cousins and Livia, Mom and Dad came it to see her. All the kids made ABC books at home to share with the class and their parents. Mrs Reiber put them on display to look at while at the program. CC was at the parent teacher conference when Mrs. Reiber told me about the ABC book projects. in two days her book was done. She did great but I wanted to keep her and Livia busy so they each make a letter poster too. I also wanted to post a fun project I worked on as room mother of cc's class. Stephanie the other room mom of the PM K class had the idea and I was happy to work on it with her. We took pictures of all the kids making letters and put them together to make a poster for teacher appreciation week for Mrs Reiber. She had been a wonderful teacher for CC. CC had thrived so much. I'm so grateful for such dedicated good teachers.

Dance march 09

The girls had a dance competition and did great. It was in Roy so alot of family came to support them. It was great to see everyone that came. It meant alot to the girls. A really big thank you to my mom and dad who watched Livia for the day. She had alot of fun playing with her cousin Ayana. My parents brought them to watch the performance but the fell asleep. I feel really busy on these days helping three dancers get ready and change costumes and watch everyone and take pictures. I love it but it is crazy!

Erika danced a Hip Hop dance to The Jackson 5 song ABC it was really cute and she did great. She hasn't danced alot of Hip hop and she learned alot. Kenna dance to a Miley Cyrus song " I miss you" it was so sweet. Miley Cyrus wrote the song for her Grandpa after he died. Kenna liked the idea of dedicating the song to her grandpa great that passed away last year. We put her voice at the beginning before the song starts dedicating it to his and telling him she loves and misses him it makes me cry when she preforms this dance. She danced with one of Grandpa Greats old sweaters. It was very sweet. They all danced with their teams and did a great job. CC of course loves to be the center of attention and is performing her frog solo next month she can't wait for that! I wore a hat and it kept getting in the way of taking all my pictures. It would push down the flash. I will never wear a hat to a dance event ever again!

ahhh cute

Kenna and Erika 9 years old and still the same.

Erika 3 Kenna 3

After going through some old pictures looking for some of Kenna and Erika when they were 3 years old for our Mother daughter date. I came across some pictures of them with their ducks. They were 3 the fist time we got them ducks and they loved them so much. We have done it about four years. Last year we passed since we already had the baby kitties. CC loves them too but Livia says "Oh how cute" then when I ask if she wants to hold one she says"NO they have too big feet" and goes love her kitty. The ducks follow the girls around like they are the mother and when the get to big we take them to a small lake near our house. We take bike rides and feed them until they ajust and I think they fly south for the winter with the other ducks at the lake.

After looking at these pictures I am determined to blog more. I love looking at pictures of the girls when they are little. I forget things so easy and taking a picture lets me remember all the fun things we do.
