Cats

We had a funeral to say good bye to alley and shadow.  Paige spoke about alley being scared of things and he likes to come around and gets loves when nobody else was around.  Shadow loved to snuggle Cloe and he always greeted us when we came home and he loved to chase down bunnies and mice and birds and bring them home as presents.  They loved to follow us around the neighborhood!  We love our cats and we will miss them!!!

We got new cats to catch the mice! Hopefully Ebony will survive this round! ;)

Abu with Bristol...Dakota's cat

Cloe with Walter mom and Bristols cat he attacked the dog so we'll have to see how long he lasts!  Such a sweetie though, never scratches or bites at the kids even Bristol who squeezes them.  He even let me give him a bath and never even got mad at me such a sweetie except he's a little jealous of the other animals!

Paige playing kickball, she had fun and she even got to be the Pitcher.

Who Hair!

Brent took the girls to the Doctor Suess Party at the Rec center.  They had a great time as always, and also as always at the who hair was their favorite.  Even Bristol got some funk.  I also had some fun I got to go and judge the High School Debate Tournament.  I just love that stuff, and yes it was my idea of a fun Friday night!  Thank goodness Brent will brave these things without me.

Cloe the Basketball Star

Cloe in the Huddle

Look at our girl!

Running with the pink pants...definitely a running in motion blur shot but hey I tried!  I was so proud of her for getting a basket at the game that night against the forth graders.  She’s in third grade and the forth graders kept bragging at school that they were going to beat them.  Well, they didn’t and it wasn’t close.  Great game third graders and way to play hard Cloe.  She has made a ton of progress throughout the season.  Her confidence has grown and she was really getting in there.

Talking on the bench to her coach. (She’s in pink pants.)

Cloe is such a wonderful, sweet, fun, and silly girl.  She has been really having a great year.  Her teacher is so awesome and just loves her.  She has really helped her to improve her reading and to believe in herself.  She also loves Cloe and has fun ways of teaching the kids.  They went to “Washington D.C.” to learn about government and I was really impressed with all she is learning and how much Cloe is enjoying her class and her teacher.  I got to go and help at their valentine’s day party and I taught them a short dance to a lip sync we were going to to to shake it off by taylor swift.  And then I came in on some other days and we practiced and recorded it and then we watched it.  It was a lot of fun!  She is starting to really get into spending time with friends, she always has loved people!  What a great "thing" to love!

Bristol 11 Months Old

I just love this sweet baby!! She is just sooo sweet!  I love our bathtime together and our sweet snuggles! I love her cute giggles.  She is walking really good now or dare I say she runs really good now.  She still babbles a lot in fact it is so cute to hear her talk and even sing!! She is cute how she tries to mimick sounds.  She has regresed some in this department but maybe it's all the walking she's need concentrating on!  She does cute fish lips!  These are pictures of her in her own room...finally!  Now she has even slept all through the night two nights in a row.  We started her in her room two weeks ago so she was waking up 5 times every night and nursing to three, to two times, and one time and then to no nursing and now two night all through the night!! So exciting! It was a mug couple weeks but I'm so happy that she is going to be getting better rest!  

She loves to sneak in her sisters room and climb up on there bed.  She is growing too fast!  I love her to the moon and back!

A Day Away

Paige, Bristol, and I took a day off and headed to Billings!  Paige went to see the allergist and things aren't conclusive yet but we did find out she has a skin condition that I can't remember the name but it makes her skin bump up just be slight irritation.  So everything they tested showed signs of irritation which I think this could be the whole reason for the red eyes in the first place and why she's so picky about clothes that don't feel right!  Anyway, we're waiting for blood tests now.  But we had a wonderful day in billings!  We walked around the temple and sang I love to see the temple.  We went to the Yellowstone art museum and talk with an artist and see him work and paige got his picture with him!  She is now a future artist she loved the museum and is going to sell her art for 3,000 dollars :)!! I love it!  ThAnks to Grandma and Grandpa Jack for taking us to go see and appreciate art!
