Jocelyn's Summer Dance Performance

Okay so it wasn't this big extravagant recital because they have only been in class for 4 weeks, it was more of her normal class expect we got to go in and watch... I took a ton of videos but have decided that for Christmas this year I would love a camcorder because my camera just can't hack it. Anyways she did really well and loves dance even though it took a week for her to get use to her teacher. The only thing I can really say is bless her teacher for putting up with my little diva. Jocelyn is quite a chatty girl and has an issue or a question about every 10 minutes.. School should be interesting.

So the first half of her class was Ballet.. They did some warm up dancing and then several across the floor activities... Relavae, Skip-hops, Toe points, etc. Their teacher then had them do a few of the things they learned by themselves. Then they did a cute little performance to a song about different dreams.

The last half of the class is Tap.. this is when Jocelyn gets extra chatty because she is tired... pretty cute and sad at the same time to see her yawn in class..but she sticks with it. They did more songs during tap I think mainly because the school knows the kids start to get restless by then. The last "big" performance they did was, I guess you could call it a tap number to "Going on a Bear Hunt" All the kids seemed to really enjoy this one!

So this last Video will be some serious Blackmail someday...Oh how I love my little "BIG" girl.

Caitlyn is 4 months old

Man oh man is time flying by.. my littlest girl is already 4 months old. She is smiling, laughing and almost rolling over. She rolls onto her side but won't commit to the full roll over. We have an appointment next week to find out how much she has grown but my guess is she is at least 13 lbs. She is now officially wearing 3-6 month clothes wahoo!! She is such a great baby. We bought her a sleep sack last week and since she has been using it at night I am getting a solid 8hr + of sleep!! Here are a few of her latest pictures...

Jocelyn's 5th Birthday!!

So the original plan for Jocelyn's Birthday was to go to our neighborhood pool and spend the morning testing out her new goggles she got the other day. However, when we woke up that morning it started pouring rain. we then thought we would go see a movie instead but all the movies were either 3D (which my kids won't wear the glasses to watch) or started way too late in the afternoon (Jo had dance class). So after driving around for a bit we finally decided we would take the kiddos to Bass Pro Shop and they could see the fish and all the "stuffed" animals. Surprisingly they had a good time checking out all the fish. Sorry for the bad pics, camera phones only do so much. We came back home and put the kids down for a short nap before Jocelyn and I headed off to her dance class. She had such a fun time at dance and loved giving all her little classmates the goody bags we made. After that the whole fam headed off to get Chinese as that was what the birthday girl wanted for her birthday dinner. Now this is one thing about Texas, you can pretty much find Mexican food anywhere but a good Chinese place is pretty tough. We finally found a place that wasn't buffet style but I don't think they get dine in customers very often because we got all our food in take out boxes...LOL. Oh well it was yummy and Jocelyn got her "noodles" (aka- chicken lo mein).

Once we were done with dinner we headed home for some cake and ice cream with friends. The kids had a blast and didn't eat hardly any cake but spent most of the evening playing. When everyone left Jocelyn and Dave went out in the front and took her new bike and safety gear for a spin. I still can't believe how big she is getting! Happy Birthday Jocelyn, we love you!!

Caitlyn's First Giggle

Okay so we are calling it a giggle because she is still too little for the gut laugh.. but it is soo cute we had to share it.

Jocelyn's Dentist Appt.

Okay so I finally (yes, I know I am a slacker, my hand has been slapped) got my kiddos into the dentist in May. Only to find out my poor Jocelyn has my awful porous teeth, which translated into 4 cavities, honestly I don't know very many people that think to floss toddlers teeth. Anyways today was her first experience with "the dentist" the way many of us in our adult age expect to experience, with drilling and shots... She was soooo GOOD!!

They came back to get me after they had numbed her up to tell me how proud they were of how well she was doing. She didn't cry and raised her hand if she was uncomfortable, I was sooo impressed with my little jo. She is getting so big and is doing so many things by herself now..its crazy. Here is her new silver tooth she got today she goes back for fillings at the end of the month, poor kiddo.

Pics of Caitlyn

Okay so we were testing out the Bumbo Seat with Caitlyn and thought it was a great photo opp. She is still pretty wobbly but did pretty good and actually enjoyed it for about 15 minutes. I even got a little video of her cooing... She is 3 months old now and is changing more each day. I can hardly believe that it has been 3 months since I had her, it is hard to remember what life was like when it was just the four of us. I just love this little girl to pieces.

Our Trip to Utah

Okay so I am officially banned from the camera on vacation as I forgot to bring it with me almost everyday...however, I did remember to bring it the day we went to Thanksgiving Point Dinosaur Museum and our Hogle Zoo trip. We had a great time in Utah seeing friends and family, we could have done without the illness and rain. Honestly, I wish I could just move everyone out here to Texas so we could see you all more. Anyways here are some pics from our trip. I will see if i can get the pics Kristy took at Kangaroo zoo too!!

Random Post: Ethan Singing

Okay so this was really funny... Ethan pulled out his potty-training potty stood on top of it and started to sing for me...of course I ran and got the camera and made him start over...tooo cute!!
