princess class!

                                                       Dancing!

Since O has turned 2 we have been putting her in a few classes at the Y that do not allow Mommy to go with her to.  So far we have tried twinkle toes (dancing), toddler gym, first friends, and princess playtime! Honestly the first few classes did NOT go so well. But, princess class has definitly been a HUGE hit!  She LOVES it! The second that class is done she is already asking to go to class again! It is great!  She has one class where they invite the parents in to watch them dance a little dance that they have practiced to show us.

easter....better late than never

well it was so long ago that all I'm going to post is pictures

                                                                Silly

                                                                This is as close to the Easter bunny that she ever made it ;)

                                                            VERY into making the crafts!

                                           Probably one of the only times she has ever sit still so I had to document it

a year in review...

ok I wanted to do this closer to the new year (you know jan 1st) but....well, we have been a little busy lately!

For those of you that don't know the new year brought in the passing of my grandpa (jan 1st), but I can take comfort in the fact that he is with our father now and happy. 

The 4th brought a flood to our home and destroyed everything, so since then we have been living in a hotel, and then my parents have been so nice to let us stay with them.  We have been working very hard to get our home back to normal so that we can live there again.  We would not be even close to accomplish this without my father in law who has been such a huge help, I do not even know how to thank him.

Within the last week Lance's car broke down.  So needless to say that is why I am so very late on this post, but better late than never...right??? :)

What a beautiful year of growth it has been!  Here is to another wonderful year!

blizzard of 2011!

What a great day to spend with my princess! 

pictures!

ok a lot has happened since the last post that I do not have the energy to write about right now, will fill you in on a later post.  But, here are some pictures!

Visit with Santa!

Well, it went a little like this.  Days before Christmas shopping crowds, a tired AND hungry 2 yr old.....hmmmmmm I was really thinking that this was not going to work but we'll try it anyway, everyone MUST have already had their picture taken with Santa by now, come on NO ONE would procrastinate like I have on this one...right????  WRONG.....you should have seen this line....but it will go fast right, I mean how long can it possibly take sit on his lap click the pic and we're done right????? WRONG again!
So half an hour later I tell O lets just go and see Santa some other time (remember this girl really has no concept of Santa yet anyway)  Well, just at that point we turn a corner and can actually have visual sight of the man of the hour!  This is where my 2 yr old goes CRAZY!  She shouts SANTA!!!!! I SEE HIM!  NO mommy I wanna see Santa! No leave line! Well, there it goes we are GOING to see Santa :)  half an hour later we are actually within moments of the big sit on his lap and tell him what you would like moment that we have been talking about for weeks now!  I go to place my little angel on his lap and OH MY GOODNESS, I swear you would have thought I was going to feed her to hungry wolfs from the cry I got from her and not to mention the death grip....SO what the heck is what I was thinking.  Lesson learned seeing Santa is very different than sitting on his lap :) 

This is what we got!  One would guess that Santa would be used to this kind of reaction from toddlers, but no this Santa was very worried, poor Santa.  But after Santa graciously gave her some stickers she did pull it together enough to give him a high five....unfortunitly not caught on camera... 

family pics!
