Friends Forever



Kyler and Bubba will be friends forever. Kyler loves his zebra "bubba" you can see him squished under his cheek. Aunt Amy gave Kyler bubba when he was born and it has been best friends ever since. I went in one night to check on Ky and this is what I found...how can a mom not take a picture!!!

Hot Wax and Skin....They don't go together!

Zeth wanted me to post his picture of his thumb. He has be bugging me for a while to get in on, but as you already know...I haven't had a lot of time to blog much, so here it is finally. About a month ago Zeth asked me if I would wax his eyebrows for him, something that we do about once a month...he is trying to avoid the "unibrow". So he put the wax in the microwave and let it melt. When it was done he went to get it out and didn't realize how hot it was and it slipped out of his hand and dumped all over his hand and down his shirt and shorts, on the counter, stove, cupboard and floor. I ran over to him and we got it under the water, while I was trying to get his clothes off so that they wouldn't stick to him he was peeling the wax off of his thumb..what a mess, he said that the skin just peeled right off his thumb like it was a piece of tape...no pain. I was sick! As bad as this picture looks, it was a couple of days into the healing process, and it only took about two weeks to fully heal. It was amazing. There was a lot of "what ifs" that day and Zeth was really blessed to have just his thumb burned.

Fun in the SUN

The kids were having a blast on the tramp...working on their backflips. So I went and got the camera and got some pretty fun shots.





SPLISH SPLASH...I was taking a Bath!

Once a year Choral Collection has a solo ensemble night where the kids can choose if they want to prepare a song and sing it. Katie, Lydia and Abby chose "Splish Splash" as their song. They worked hard to get it together (Thanks to Aunt Shauna who helped with the actions!!). It was fun to see them get up and perform. Great job girls!

Our fun new HAIR TOY!!!

Amy introduced me to "Curlformers" They are the NEATEST things out there. They are just like a tube that is formed into a ringlet so you take a hook and thread the hair down (super easy) and then let it dry...and you have CURLS. The girls love them and they are fast and easy...and CUTE!!!

Play Dough Cooking Party



For Christmas Kyler got a package of play dough that had about 24 colors in it. The kids have had so much fun with it. The girls especially. Lydia and Katie decided that they needed to have everything ready for a party...so they made cakes, cookies and drinks out of the play dough. The fun thing about having so many colors is that you can be quite creative. Abby and her friends have great imaginations too. Who would know the hours of fun that you can have with just a simple gift of play dough!



Kyler and his BIKE


We got Zeth's old bike down and fixed the tires and put the training wheels back on and away Kyler went. Last year he wasn't interested in the bike thing because he loved his scooter so much...but he is loving the bike this year. He has good balance because of his scooter so I don't think it will be too long before we can take the training wheels off. Kyler loves to be outside...he is my FREE spirit!


Sisters and Singing

Abby and Lydia love singing with Choral Collection. Lydia has so much fun because Katie is in her class with her. They are fun to watch. Abby is in the older class and enjoys the songs they sang this year especially one from "Wicked". It was time for their Spring Concert so they got all dressed up and ready to go. After taking pictures inside we looked out at the fun blossoms so we took a couple pictures out there too. Spring time just makes me happy!


I thought it would be fun to add a video of the girls singing. Lydia and Katie are in the front row. Abby is with all the "blue shirts" you just can't see her very well.


This is one of Abby...that you can actually see her in it.
