DANCE RECITAL 2010

I cannot believe this is McKenna's 4th year in dance!! She really is enjoying it and loved that they started jazz this year as well. She is growing up way to fast for me!

Her goal is to make it to the 5 year award, which will be this next year. The only thing I'm not sure of is if there actually IS a 5 year trophy or medal that her instructor gives them. See, a few years back (as a motivational tactic) I told Kenna about the award...not necessarily thinking there may not be an actual award just a posterboard with the names on it...so, I may be buying her a 5 year trophy come next spring!

Either way, she deserves it for sticking with it and she is a great dancer!

HERE'S #2

Harrison, within one week, noticed his next tooth was loose. Our kids definitely have Adam's teeth - I didn't even lose my first tooth until I was in 1st grade! Our kids get their teeth early and start to lose their teeth early as well:

Looks like we need a visit from the Tooth Fairy:

1..2..3!

Harrison is our brave little boy - he has his first loose tooth and can't wait to pull it out!! In fact this was our 3rd day trying to pull it out!

READY...

SET....

PULL.... SUCCESS!!

Way to go Harrison!!

(Don't mind the road rash on his face...that's a whole other story!)

WE'RE HAVING A....

GIRL!!

We just had the ultrasound last week and found out the exciting news...we are really excited to "even things out" in our family and can't wait to meet our little girl in June/July 2010. Right now the official due date is July 4th, but I have yet to have any of my kids on their actual due date. Kenna is a bit worried that I'll miss the parade and fireworks if I have the baby on the 4th...she is a little "worry wort" like her mother.

Here are a few cute pictures from the ultrasound:

- this is a profile with the little hand resting over her eyes and the other hand on her chest

- is this not the perfect profile picture?!? And her cute little hand under her chin

- here she is looking right at you - the kids are afraid of this picture...they call it the skeleton picture..do you see it?!?

We told McKenna and Harrison that, after the appointment, we would take them to lunch and whatever color the drink we got was (i.e. pink = girl, blue = boy) that would let them know what we were having. On our way to pick up McKenna from school, Harrison mentioned that he really hoped it was a girl for Kenna...so she could have a sister like he has a brother. We told him that we weren't the ones to decide which the baby would be. He started to cry because he was so concerned about McKenna having a sister...it was the sweetest thing!

We've been trying to let Tyler know that we're having a baby and so I showed him the pictures and told him, "this is a baby growing in mommy's tummy." and pointed to my tummy, and ever since then he will grab the pictures and push them up to HIS tummy and say, "baby in tummy."...I don't think he's grasping it quite yet!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

I came across this cute idea for the kids valentine's day cards and they loved making them! I thought they turned out really cute too!
