Princesses on Ice

Two lucky girls got to see Princesses on Ice with the most important men in their lives. These two love to get togther and are hilarious to watch. They greet each other with big hugs and smiles and seem genuinely happy to be together. I loved looking at these pictures and imaging how excited Lily and Gentry were to dress up and go out with their dads. Gentry even had to wear her princess snow boots which looked hilarious under her dress.

The Latest Brag Post

I used to write in my journal every day. Now I never write and have replaced my journal with this blog. This post will be full all the great things my kids are up to. If you don't care, stop reading now. If you want to share in my amazement, continue on!

Brielle is a super baby. Here are some of her feats.

5 months 3 weeks- started crawling

6 months 2 weeks - started pulling up to stand

She wants to grow up way too fast. She is all over the house, adores her sisters, and I think her first word just may be DaDa. What can I expect, they all look like Bryan too! She loves to eat baby cheetos but doesn't know what to do once they are in her mouth.

Gentry goes to preschool two times a week. She comes home singing new songs all the time and loves to say the Pledge of Allegiance. She is our most active and friendly child and pushes me to the edge quite often. The other day she tried to breastfeed a doll while in nursery. She is always in Brielle's face because she loves her so much. She also takes swimming lessons whenever her sisters are off track. She loves this time of year because of all the holidays.

Aidan is our quiet child. Between Kali and Gentry she just can't get a word in. She loves to go geocaching with her dad. She gets all A's in school. She takes gymnastics and is VERY good at it. I am amazed at what she can do with her body. I cringe a little everytime I see her do a backflip or a cartwheel with no hands for fear that she will hurt herself. She also takes piano from G-ma Leggat and is progressing very well. When she is off track she takes swimming lessons and loves that too.

Yes, Kali is only 10 but looks 15. We took Kali out of Alps for this school year so that she could have time to participate in extra curricular activites. This girl can definitely work with a full platter. Here is a list of the activites she does in a week.

1. Band 3 times a week before school
2. Advanced band 1 time a week before school
3. Swimming 2 times a week after school
4. Piano 1 time a week after school
5. Basketball practice 1 time a week after school
6. Basketball games on Saturdays
7. Activity Days twice a month after school

She was also elected to student council for the 5th grade and sometimes has to go to meetings. She just got done with a student council conference at BYU. Besides all of these activities, she still finds the time to do her homework.

There you have it. As you can tell, I spend a lot of time driving in the car. I love watching the girls learn, grow and develop their talents. It will be interesting to see what they grow up to become!

Happy Halloween

Halloween is a much anticipated day at our house. I think I love it as much as my kids! Brielle was hilarious in her costume. The PJ's glowed in the dark and she would wake up crying at night because she couldn't figure out what the moving glowing thing in her bed was. I love a fat baby in a skinny costume.



The girls prefer scary costumes to anything else. Even G wanted to be somewhat scary, but refused to let us paint her face. Kali was a vampire, Aidan was a pirate, and G was a witch.

Even Bryan and I had a Halloween party to go to. Dressing up is so much fun. Bryan is the best at putting makeup on everyone. His face was done so well I couldn't recognize him. We went to the party representing "HELL".

Marin came to trick-or-treat with the kids. She even dressed up with them. We love that she takes the time to come and hang with us! (Sorry about the fuzzy pictures. I think our camera might be on its way out. I wonder what will break next?)
