Must Be Santa!!

We are so proud of Madi!! She did so good and several people at the show commented on how good she did. She is smack dab in the middle in this video. Enjoy!!

Holiday Showcase

Here is Madi in the holiday showcase, I could only post 1 video at a time.

Holiday Showcase!!

We had our annual holiday showcase with Angela's Flip Zone. The girls did so good. This was Bella's 1st dance recital and though there was not a lot of dancing going on, she did not scream through it like her gymnastics performance!! She looked like a little angel. Madi was awesome!! She had two perfromances and she killed it!! The first video is Bella and she is on th end. The second is Madi and she is in the back row far right. In the third video, Madi is right in the middle. Enjoy!

Photo Shoot!!

We went to this really cool place called The Groves, last Sunday, and had a photo shoot. I did not want to go to a studio, and I wanted to have trees and green in the background. Well, Sara Sourant did an amazing job, and she was so patient with the girls. Bella had a mini meltdown halfway through (that is why you will see she has a sucker in some of the photos, parenting at it's finest, right!). Anyway, can't wait for you all to see these. I love them!! I went today and had a Christmas card made with them. Woohoo, I am semi organized this year!! Cards should go out by the end of the week. Can't wait to print a bunch and frame them too!! Hope you enjoy, and if you want to use Sara, the link to her website is on the side bar under my favorite things.

Love her, she is such a natural!








How Adorable is this!!

 

I really like this one too!

Daddy and his girls, this is an awesome picture!

I really wanted to do a pic like this, they are pretty popular, and I love it!



My sweet girls!





I love this one. This was just after the meltdown and Madi was trying to calm Bella down. It is so cute!



I've seen this shot a couple of times too and wanted to try it.





My favorite of us

 

Mini Flips!!

Madi is on a performing team at her dance studio called Kinetic Energy. They perform at events around the valley. Her group is the youngest on the team called the Mini Flips. They performed at the fair in November. It was adorable, and Madi did so good. I finally got my new computer figured out, so here is the video clip.

Ps. In case you have trouble, Madi is the one on the right, at the very end.

It's Been A While!!

Well, I have not posted for the whole month of September and most of October. I guess I have been too busy with life! Things have been busier around here since Madi started Kindergarten. We definitely have more of a routine than before, but, for me at least, way less time!! My work schedule revolves around their gymnastics and half days, no school days, etc. So, even when I have a day off we still have lots of stuff to do. Halloween week I don't think I sat down for more that 5 minutes, we had so much going on. I'm not exaggerating, ask my Mom, she was there!! Also, I have been making bows and necklaces on the side for people at school and gymnastics. Wish I could pay the bills this way so I could stay home!! Well, I am not complaining. I am so thankful for my family and that everyone is happy and healthy.

Madi is doing great in Kindergarten. She is learning so much. She can now count to 100 by 1's, 5's, and 10's. Also, she knows her letters and their sounds. Now, we are working on words and writing and recognizing all the numbers. It is a lot more than we were expected to know in Kindergarten, but we work with her each night for 15-30 minutes, and it is helping a lot. She has tons of friends!! Every day when I drop her off at school all kinds of kids come up and say hi or hug her, even older kids. She is such a social butterfly. Madilyn had her first performance with the Mini Flips (that is the performing dance team she is on at Angela's Flip Zone). They performed at the fair on November 2nd. I have a few pics to post here but I have a cute video to come (when I have more time). She did great, and looked so cute. She really enjoys the performance part of it and is adjusting better to having practice after school.

Bella is getting so big. She is talking so much and is a little stinker!! She is into everything. She is so curious and also a climber. If I am not paying attention, I will turn around and she will be on a chair getting into the fridge or cupboard!!She is more soft spoken and mellow than Madi, but she gets her point across when she needs to, and she has a little scream that she does when she throws a fit, it is loud!! She is so smart, too. She sings her abc's and can count to 13.  Our time together when Madi is in school is so special. She definitely loves to be with me and wants me to hold her all the time. Billy swares that she is all over him when I'm at work or sleeping, but I think he is just jealous, jk :)  We still have her binky and I don't have the heart to get rid of it yet ( for both our sakes!). I think we will start potty training soon, and I am not looking forward to that.

Here is a bunch of pictures from the last couple of months. I will try to put them in order. More to come. These are just the ones from my phone. I will post some more from my camera soon. Hope everyone is well and Happy Thanksgiving!!
