Writing

Reese came home from school the other day and said, "Mom, do you want to watch me write my name?" Of course, just thinking she would scribble some lines I said, "sure I would love to watch you write your name Reese." Little did I know this would be the final product:



I was so surprised and proud of her. I couldn't believe she could actually write her name, and so well. Far be it from me to doubt her again:)

Cookies!

Elle is selling girl scout cookies again this year if anyone is interested! We don't officially start untilo tomorrow, but I just wanted to give a pre-sale reminder:) Let me know if you want any! Thanks!

Scripture Case

Here is Elle's scripture case. It looks way better in person, but they are super cute!

My latest project

I am still on my letter kick. Ryan's mom sent me a BYU and Winter one for Christmas and I just did SNOW. I love it to death! It was on my phone so I couldn't get it all in one picture. Also, just as a plug, Ryan's mom made my kids the cutest scripture cases. They have ribbon handles with a big flower on front and she sews them together to look like those rag quilts. If anyone is interested she said she would sell them for $25. They are super cute, you can look at mine if you are interested.

Silly Reese

This was in the car the other day when Reese was playing Elle's Nintendo DS. She was freaking out because she couldn't see the screen because of the sun, so being the smart little thing she is, she got a blanket and sat under it for about two hours playing the game. And, just as a side note, more for me to remember than anything, her feet fell asleep and she kept crying and saying "My feet are sprinkling." It was pretty funny because she just made that up out of nowhere since we have never talked about feet falling asleep.

Dance Your Heart Out

Reese did dance for the past couple of months and it was so cute. They had a recital last week and did a tap dance to ABC by Jacksons and a ballet dance to Santa Claus Is Comin to Town. She was totally into the makeup and everything. After her dance at rehearsal she said, "When do I get to go back on stage mom?" It reminded me of Elle saying she was born with a tutu on when she first started dance. And then Reese told me, "Mom I like wearing makeup!" She doesn't do the dances all that well, but she always has her feet turned out perfetly. There are two videos at the end of the post.


For some reason the camera videoed a little blurry and white, but she is second from the end.

Sick Kids

I think the kids always look so cute when they are sick (granted they are not throwing up everywhere:)). They lay on the couch and look so peaceful and cute.
