Singers and Dancers

Nate was sick on the day of his first grade musical "Hats." At least I got to see some of the songs ahead of time during his home performance! This video wouldn't upload so here it is on YouTube.

More dancing and singing from Nate and Kate here.

Kate's turn singing here.

So Far This Month

So far this is what we've been up to this month. Not much of anything although we never seem to have much free time. Finding time to do the blog has become harder and harder. I blame Instagram for my lack of blogging. It's way easier!


This was from when Lady was visiting. Kathryn watches Lady's every move and decided she wanted mousse on her hair to give it some body. We're at Sam's in this picture and Kathryn was on her second sample cup of pie here.

 Getting ready to dance.

 She must have gotten chilly so she put slippers on.

If she catches me in hot rollers you better believe she needs them too. Girliest girl ever. Early on in my pregnancy with her, before I found out I was having a girl, my exact words were, "This is a girl. She's the girliest girl ever because she is sucking every bit of girliness right out of me." I was so sick I couldn't even stand up in the shower long enough to rinse the shampoo out of my hair so in a moment of desperation I went to some cheap hair cutting place and asked them to chop all my hair off up to my chin (13 inches) and I donated it to Locks of Love. Never question a mother's intuition!

 Messy tooth brusher.

Nate enjoyed his time off for Thanksgiving. This was what his room looked like the entire break.

The weather has been beautiful, so I decided to take a trip to the beach. I thought I better take advantage of this beautiful place while I can still call it home.

 We have been spending so much time on the trampoline lately. They love it just as much as the first day they got it!

 Mack loves playing up there too!

 He chases Nate all over the place.

Kathryn had her 4 year check up. She is doing great. He asked her if she was able to ride a tricycle or a bike with training wheels and she proudly told him, "I can ride a bike without training wheels." He was very impressed with her. She had to get three shots so in order to make it up to her we stopped at the playground afterwards. Although, she didn't even flinch with the shots. She was actually smiling the entire time.

This is our new favorite playground. The yellowish beige building directly across the water is Kathryn's school. Not a bad view from the classrooms!

 I bought Kathryn some new shoes and she instantly fell in love.

She was so proud of them she wanted to show her brother so bad. In true brother fashion, he said he didn't care about her shoes.

That's all for now! Maybe I'll catch up again soon!
