Little Ballerina...

Molly has been taking both Tap and Ballet this past year for dance. She has loved them both and has been so excited to show us her show and get up on the big stage in front of everyone and do her dances. She danced to "Baby Ballerina" for her ballet dance and "Look Ma Im Dancin" for her Tap dance. She did so great and knew both dances quite well. She knew her tap dance the best out of the 5 in her class. I was pretty proud of her and she was proud of herself.  Grandma Kara, Grandma Janet and Grandpa Craig were all able to come support our little dancer as well. Maggie was not pleased she was not dancing on the big stage too. After her ballet dance the dad's take them up flowers and get them off the stage. She was so excited for that part and kept asking us to make sure her daddy didn't forget to go get her. She is so sweet and I loved watching up there doing her thing. She loves it and we can't wait to see where she goes in her dancing...

Baby Ballerina...

Maggie has been taking ballet for the past year with Ms. Sheila in the Two Much Fun Class. They get to dress up in dress ups and learn classroom structure and how things work in ballet class. As a bonus she was in class with her two buddies Lexi and Brielle.  At the very end of every day they get to have a tea party and poor their own tea (water) and have snacks with their friends. Ms. Sheila said Maggie is the singer- she sings at the tops of her lungs to each song. She was also glued to Ms. Sheila, she followed exactly what she was doing there was no messing around for Maggie she was all business. She takes her ballet dancing seriously, can't wait to see where her dancing takes her in the future. At the end of her little recital they did a dance for their daddy's that they had been practicing for a few weeks. After their dance their daddy's gave them some flowers and we had a real tea party with cookies. Grandma Janet and Grandpa Craig were able to come and watch and Maggie was pretty proud of herself. Way to go my baby ballerina! Keep Dancing little girl...

Splash Pad..

First we went to the Kite Festival while we were tending for Matheson's so Ally got to tag along. The girls had a blast and the highlight for the little girls may have been the bus ride there and back the snow cones weren't too shabby either!

On Friday the girls and I were itching to get out of the house so we text some of our buddies to see if they wanted to meet up at Town Square splash pad for the afternoon- We got there about 11 and didn't load up to leave until after 2! We were all exhausted after, but had the best time, splash pad, carousel, and Judds for a treat/lunch. It was the perfect day and not even too hot yet so we were able to stay for quite awhile.Maggie loved playing with her friends Cambree, Blake, and Brielle. While Molly was glued to Milo's side or holding his hand the entire time.  We will for sure be doing this again.

Maggie K. you make us  happy and crazy all at the same time. I don't know what we would do without you as part of our little family. You are going to be such a great big sister to your baby brother just like your big sister is to you. You thrive on making us happy and not mad. You make us laugh out loud more times than I can count in a day and we wouldn't take you any other way. You never stop talking and when you talk it is loud, but once again we wouldn't change that about you either. That is what makes you uniquely Maggie.

It's A Boy!!!

 We are so excited to welcome a new baby into our family of 4 and make it 5! We are just about 17 weeks along and were able to get a gender check ultrasound at 16 weeks. We were all so excited and Clint was set it was a girl, I was unsure, Molly was certain it was a boy and Maggie insisted it was a girl. So we were all pretty split. 

We were anxiously awaiting the lady to get to the good to see which it was going to be. As soon as she found the bum I knew right away it was a boy. He wouldn't hold still long enough for a picture of the goods so I had to turn onto my side. After I said its a boy to the girls Molly threw her hand up in the air and said "YES, I knew it" and Maggie put her hand on her head and said "Oh No" followed by, "I dont like boys they aren't my favorite" and then the whole rest of the ultrasound she kept touching me saying "Mommy she gonna say its a girl one right? Its really a girl huh? Its going to be a girl baby right mom" to which I said nope its a brother. She tried to take it all in and as we were walking out she just started to cry and kept saying "Boys are not my favorite" bless her heart.

 She had a little melt down in the car then we headed to Target to pick out a boy thing. She was way into it and couldn't wait to pick something out for her new baby brother. As soon as we got home she went to the extra room and said "Lets get this crap outta here we gotta get it ready for my brother"

 I think she is coming around to the idea and is happy about him coming after all. Molly on  the other had never had a doubt and is just pleased that daddy wont be the only boy in the family anymore because to her "its not fair dad is the only boy so we need the baby to be a boy one so its fair".. We are pretty excited about this little guy coming to our family and its a good thing we have a few months for him to get here because we are at a lost for boy names!

It's A Boy!

 I wish I would have gotten a picture of Molly's happy punch to the air but I did manage to get this one of miss poutty pants.
