"Finger Feet"

A hedgehog came and visited storytime! Those are really neat animals. The other girls also got to see him at the school! Kota was talking about it for days!

Paige was so cute the other day she was trying to figure out what toes were called she called them, "Finger Feet." I thought that was a very inventive name! I love spending time with my girls and listening to their view on life. I sure do learn a lot from them.

I've been so excited with Cloe's progress with her reading she is really doing great! Her teacher said that in parent teacher conference's that her confidence as grown so much this year. She is participating in class and asking and answering questions! I've just been so happy with her progress this year, I think swimming has helped her a lot!

Kota is so spunky and fun! She also got a good report at her conference! She claims she doesn't like school because she hates math and her teacher talks too much about it.  But she has a 100% in math and is one of the top readers in her class. No wonder why she thinks the teacher talks too much, she's bored she already gets it. Hah!  She's also doing Riding Lessons still and loving it!  I got to help with the lesson last time and it was so fun to watch her just really enjoying it and bonding with her horse "Rocky."  She got to ride by herself in the big arena and trot this time and she was just giggling and laughing.  She couldn't get enough of it she wanted to do it over and over and even when she was on her own but Sandy wouldn't let without mom next to her, so mom was getting tired. :)

Basketball and dancing!!!

Cloe and Kota danced for the basketball game! They did a great job and had a great time!! Kota even made the paper I love that face! Her teacher told her that she was so fun to watch smiling the whole time! When she saw that she was in the paper she told dad, "I saw him taking a picture of me so I smiled really big!" Too cute!

We've also been enjoying watching some basketball! We went to a game for FHE last week and went on a muddy driving adventure! Brent sure did enjoy getting us around In the mud in a new place and finding coyotes and other animals.

Snow!!!!

We've had tons of snow and we've been enjoying it. Night sledding with friends and Brent made strawberry shortcake! Great night! Kota was going down head first very brave paige was getting up and down so nicely and I barley saw Cloe she was having fun with friends and going down as fast as she got up!!

I was enjoying takin pictures of the snow and also got the kids artwork on their playhouse!!

We made a snow fort and it was a blast. Paige likes to come in and be warm in the house though she didn't make it the whole time! She couldn't wait for us to finish the fort! The other two and I had an adventure in our igloo! Great fun!

Valentines day!

Brent got the girls flowers and he got me a love song cd and took me out I dinner or did I take him out I did make the reservations! ;). It was a goo day! I even brought cupcakes to shook or the girls parties and subbed in the office it was a good day!

Paige's valentines party!!!

Paige's friend Ryan had a valentines day party! She was so excited and had a great time. She was having trouble getting out of bed that morning ( I know How that feels) until I reminded her about her party and she was out of bed in seconds! They played games and made valentine boxes and passed out valentines and played on the bounce house and had heart shaped snacks it was a fun time!! We also did fun valentines stuff at story time! They made heart sugar cookies and a heart mouse with a sucker stick tail! Paige of course loved all the sugar!!!

Me and My Girls

We decided last minute one night to go bowling! Brent was working an friends were busy so the girls and I decided to go have fun anyway and we did! The bumpers were broken and we thought we might not get to go but through it all I we had a great night and then about half way through our bowl cyber night started and we enjoyed dancing in the dark and flashing lights! Great night! We even got some pins down despite no bumpers! Way to go girls! Besides me of course, paige even won! :) granny style!
