December Dance Recital

Its a Girl!!

For those that may not know we are expecting a girl in May.
We are very excited.

Magic Show

Elllie was lucky enough to go up on stage at the magic show.
Here is a picture of her with all of her balloons.
The Magician asked her if she loved Ice Cream or daddy more her answer ICE CREAM!!!
She also told him that she was married with no kids.

I saw this on another blog and thought that I would share it!

Twas the month after Christmas and all through the house
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.

The cookies I'd nibbled, eggnog I did taste.
All the holiday parties had gone to my waist.

When I got on the scales there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber).

I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared;
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,

The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese
And the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please."

As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt --

I said to myself, as I only can
"You can't spend a winter disguised as a man!"

So--away with the last of the sour cream dip,
Get rid of the fruitcake, every cracker and chip

Every last bit of food that I like must be banished
Till all the additional ounces have vanished.

I won't have a cookie--not even a lick.
I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.

I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie
,I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.

I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore --
But isn't that what January is for?

Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all and to all a good diet!

Cedar Hills, Easter and the Circus!!

April started out with our family heading to Cedar Hills to watch conference. Here is a pircture of the girls with Alan!

My niece Baylee spend a couple of days with us, then we all headed to Nevada. Here is Claire at the Easter egg hunt in Pioche. Many eggs had numbers on them. Claire ended up picking up only a couple of eggs, but the number on one of her eggs was drawng for the grand prize - a tricycle.

Here is Ellie coloring Easter Eggs!!

A circus came to town, and we were given free tickets to attend. We went with both our girls and Ellie's friend and next door neighbor, Mya.

The elephants were everyone's favorite part of the circus.
