Emily's First Formal Dance


Oh, how exciting! :) Emily was dead set on NOT going to the Valentine's Day Dance at her school. Two boys had asked her, but she said, "No" and "No way!" Then when a few of her friends started talking about their dresses, she decided maybe she should go. I think it was all just a ploy to get a new outfit! :) Anyway, she conned her friend here into going along with her. They were shocked at how inappropriate their classmates acted at the dance. There was forbidden dancing and lots of making out, while the chaperones seemed ambivalent toward it all. I guess I need to send Terry as a chaperone next time! If there is a next time...these two said they prefer church dances. I think the worst part is Emily asked two guys to dance with her and they said, "No" and "No way!" They probably couldn't dance anyway! :)

Happy Birthday, Sariah! :)




She's a big five year old now! Sariah had yet another "Princess Party." Friends from school and church came over to play dress-up, run around and eat the pretty purple chocolate chip cupcakes I made. Fun was had by all! :) Latest Sariahism...Sariah to me (while I was riding the exercise bike): "Mommy, don't go too fast or you'll melt!" Do you like her new princess peepers? She picked out some Hannah Montana glasses as her first choice and when the optometrist started to put them on her, she said, "Woah!!! Let's look at these adult size glasses over here..." These were the cutest adult glasses. They are tortoise shell over pink. :)

Helena's Favorite Pastimes




Helena loves to follow the vacuum cleaner. She gets very excited and tries to keep up with it. :) She also loves the cupboard full of plastic containers, what kid doesn't!?! :) Why do we spend money on toys?

Another Lukism



Luke to Travis: What are you going to be when you grow up, a baseball player, a basketball player, a football player or a soccer ball player? :)
