Dakota's 7th

What a great birthday.  We had waffles and ice cream for breakfast and gifts in the morning. Then we went to Wal-Mart and she got to pick out her own outfit.  She loved that, little fasion queen.  Then we went to Chinese for her birthday dinner, she wanted to go to a restaurant with "those fancy spoons" she was so excited that we found one, and she loved the facny restaurant and getting to go to the buffet by herself.  It was a wonderful day,  she even got to stay up late and eat Dairy Queen cake with dad and the rest of the family before bed!  

I am so proud of dakota and every thing she is learning she is super smart she loves to read, and she is super fun.  She told me that all the boys at school like her, she spoke like it was a bad thing, if only that would last ;)  she is a super spunky dancer and she is really helpful around the house her foot rubs are especially nice. She likes  to write stories and songs.

Keeping busy

Paige grew some butterflies that she got for christmas, we had a lot of fun making thier house and watching them change, unfortunately it was too cold to let them out right away.  But we like to think we gave them a wonderful home with lots of love.  You can barely see the butterfly there on the ground next to her.  I love to see Paige grow and be confident and independent.  She has such a big heart and is willing to give and help. 

Cloe and Dakota also kept busy making rubber band bracelets, and science projects, and cloe's been crocheting.  and we went down to the pond for skating a lot,  we also had a lot of friends over that was nice.

Here she is at story time making funny faces at me with the hat she made.  She really enjoys crafts.

Now here I am at 28 weeks, I did get bigger! ;)

Recital 2014

We put on our last dance recital for a while I'm going to take a break with the our new beautiful baby girl.  I love this picture of Paige jumping.  My little ballerina she has got a lot of talent and ability in dance! They did a wonderful job!

Dakota with her friend Julie.  Such precision and energy my miss Kota has, what a joy to watch.

Cloe and her friend Lacy. Cloe and her sweet smile just makes you want to smile and think of all the good in life.  

We had awards and refreshments afterwords, I was so proud of the girls and all their hard work.  A little sad to leave the girls but relieved to have a break from teaching dance, and ready to but my focus at home.  Brent got some video's we'll have to watch.  Oh and the girls did the basketball game too the month before and that was fun too,  Paige was even in the paper I'll have to scan it in here.

Snow Fun 2014

Cloe Made some snowmen. One was a dinosaur, very cute! Paige didn't last long making them but still made it for the picture. :)  It could be the fact that she refuses to wear proper winter attire.

 

 GRRRRRR!

We all went sledding, once again Paige didn't make it most the time.  I couldn't make it halfway up the hill due to pregnancy and pants that refused to stay up despite my encouragement.  Snows came up pretty strong during the trip but Dad found a nice spot inbetween two bunches of trees that was blizzard free.  Fun with Dad! :) 

New Years +

 My Sexy Man Burning Our wood pile over New years! Happy New Years!!!

Brent had to work so the girls and I watched a movie and had a sleep over in the living room for New Years.  It was fun.  Before Brent went to work we had our friends the Degraws over and we played games and ate yummy treats, it was a nice time bringing in the new year.

 Girls Made Bracelets with their new looms! :)

 Trip to Colorado!  I love my Girls and learned that no matter what it's most important to show them how much I care no matter what.  We went and saw the horses by Grandma Carol's and got to celebrate Aunt Andy's and Aunt Polly's Birthday's, Aunt Leslie and Uncle John were there and it was so nice to see all that Family.

 The girls Getting Crowned Rodeo Princess's.  After Which Kota decided she didn't want to be a rodeo Princess because she didn't want to be told which direction to ride her horse! :) Hilarious! 

 Me and the girls goofin off, we also got to do the petting zoo and watch horses jump in competition, it was pretty neat to watch.

The Candy factory, what a great lookin bunch :)  the candy was good too!  Dad didn't make the trip to Colorado, that's not going to happen again ;)

 Paige Performed at story time at the Library what a beautiful ballerina.

 Dad Coached Cloe in Basketball.  They had good daddy daughter time and Cloe really enjoyed playing, I'm proud of them, what a sweetie!  How fun to watch her play!  Dakota got to do afterschool skate and she loved the independence, it's amazing how much a dollar can get to you :)

 

Christmas!!!

We had a wonderful Christmas!!  Brent's Parents and his brother Brice and his wonderful wife Shauna and my mom came for Christmas this year.  What a wonderful Christmas it was to have the house full of guests.  We had a great time spending time together, one of my favorite memories is when we all acted out the nativity on Christmas eve.  Paige was excited to leave plenty of cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer.

 Kota helping Grandma Nessi Cook the Brussel Sprouts.  Prime Rib was also on the menu and Shrimp cocktail and monkey bread and cinnamon rolls...

 

 This is the cat castle that the girls and I made for the cats post Christmas Gift.
