Dance Recital!

We rushed home from the Fair and barely made it to Kailie's dance recital. It was supposed to be in December but her teacher Miss Chaylse got pregnant and was really sick so we had to postpone it. This two girls, loved dance and were so excited for their recital.
Kailie was so excited to get to wear make-up she asks me all the time if and when she can put some on. She usually sneaks some eyeshadow and she was so happy to wear bright red lipstick. She was so concerned about it coming off the whole time!

The program and dancers!
The parents and friend waiting for the performance!

First song: The Wheels on the Bus



They are so cute!


Kailie is so much taller than everyone else. Like mother like daughter!

Head Shoulders Knees and Toes
The Fairy Dance. So sweet!






The Fairy dance was Kai's and all of the girl's favorite dance.

Then it was on to tap!





They are all so adorable!
Santa Claus is Coming to Town.
It was Valentines time but they had been working on this song for their December recital so they still performed it! 

Taking their bows!
They performed the whole thing once through and then did it all again. 

The class from L to R: Piper Copeland, Sophia Pinon, Annabell Swinyard, Kalina Peterson, Brinley Keck, Kailie and Miss Chaylse Pinon!
These two girls had so much fun in their class.

Valentines Day

Valentines was super low-key this year. We made these cute non-candy valentines. I am so sick of all the candy we get between Halloween, Christmas, Valentines, Easter, ugh it makes me sick. Kai loves glow sticks and so that is what we did. The challenge was not breaking them!

Making our annual batch of sugar cookies. The kids love making these. 

We had Brinley and Madi over to help decorate them. It got a little chaotic with the two little ones but nothing too crazy!!
Happy Valentines Day!

January Fun!

January was a pretty cold month so we did a lot of inside playing. We need to get this boy some dress-ups. He loves to dress-up with all the girls. 

On one nice day we decided to go to the zoo. It was super crowded but we still had fun riding fake baby elephants. 


Kailie is all about photos of just her lately!
This cute little guy was our favorite at the zoo. He was tiny and he just stood in this spot, frozen not really moving. He was adorable and probably scared to death!
Kai climbs the tree! My little monkey girl!

These two always find something to keep them entertained this time it was making a bed in the guestroom on the hard floor. 
Silly kiddos!

McKean learned how to climb out of his crib while we were in Utah so when we got home he basically climbed out everyday. At night time or during nap time I would always find asleep somewhere other than his crib. This definitely does not look very comfortable but he was out! 

One day he fell asleep sitting up. I put the blanket on him after he was asleep. 
Funny kid!

Kai showing off the nursing cover I made for my friend Andrea Fitzgerald!
McKean absolutely loves his boots. He wears them all the time even when he doesn't have pants on which is pretty much everyday after his nap. When I go to put him down for a nap he refuses to put his pants on after I change his diaper. 


We love when Daddy comes home!
Some of Kai's crafts. A military guy who looks more like an Astronaut. 
Learning the letter M!
Kai loves to play with Baby Bradley!
Nothing is more fun than a big box or a couple of them!

They loved getting pulled around the house by Daddy!

Family Photos!


While we were all in Utah and before Jack and Carolyn left for their mission we wanted to get a new family photo. It was beautiful but freezing. I had my kids with 3 or 4 layers and they were still freezing. 

Grandma and Grandpa with all the Grandkids! 
Joel and Anj and kiddos looking pretty as always.

Ours turned out pretty good as well considering the kids were crying and freezing!
