Funny Frases

When Marty was in the garage working, Celie was bored and probably bothering him. He said to her, "How about you go find something else to do?" Celie asked what she could go do. He replied "Just use your imagination."

So off Celie went, into the house. She came back ten minutes later with a dissapointed and frusterated look on her face and said to Dad, "Daddy I can't find my imagination!"

Ha ha ha. I hope you had a good laugh like we did.

Christmas Community Party

This little party was held on Dec. 1st. They had face painting, a dj, hot chocolate and a cookie, and last, but not least, snow!! Ok, so it really isn't snow; it's ice chips. I love how the snow is laid in perfect squares. It was so slippery and I had Celie in the wrong outfit. Oh well. I can go buy new white tights. She was so funny to watch. It makes me miss the real snow at home.

Celie sat on Santa's lap with out a blink. She was excited about it. Aren't we cute?

Dancing to the DJ's odd music and listening to his lame jokes.

These next three pictures I took one right after the other. Celie's neighborhood and church friend, Ava, would fall; then Celie, then they both fell. It was very funny.

See, she loves the snow!

I caught this one just as she was falling. I know, it is a good shot. She didn't mind falling down. It was part of the fun.

Another mid-fall. I am getting good with the camera.

Merry Christmas family and friends!!

Preeschool at My House

Here is Celie's preschool group (missing on girl), Honeybee's. They have so much fun. I really enjoy teaching them. They enjoy the little things - I learn a lot from them.

These are pictures of them playing in our playroom (supposed to be formal dining room).

Isn't her smile to die for!!

I hope his mother doesn't mind. Oh, wait. I think he is cooking the dog on the burners.

Grandfather Clock

This is our $20 grandfather clock that we got at our community garage sale! We are obviously proud and excited to have a piece of wood furniture in our home. Celie is excited too. No, it doesn't work, but we'll work on that in the near future. I have decided to call it "Robby" in honor of my dear Grandfather. (I hope you don't mind)

Thanksgiving

Celie drew a picture on her magnidoodle and it just so happened to look like a cooked turkey! I had to take a picture. See if you can see what I see (that's a mouthful of a sentence!).


For Thanksgiving dinner we got together with four other families from our church ward. We met in the dance studio that I teach in. As you can see from the pictures, Julianne decorated it beautifully! It was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed it even though we weren't with family.

Ballet baby & Sneaky Jack

My little ballarina!! Isn't she so darling? I have to say that she is the least coordinated out of the ten girls in her class and her technique is a mess, but she has spirit. She has a hard time listening to the teacher (her mother. . . me). She says, "I don't want to. I can't. I'm too tired. I want the quite princess crown! Mom, watch me plie'. I want to be the fairy queen, not the sleeping fairy!" Oh, the phrases go on and on. Then she comes home crying that she didn't get the quiet princess crown! She doesn't quite get it that she needs to be quiet in order to get it! We practice at home, but she is such a social queen that everything flies out the window when we step into the dance room.






I took pictures of all my students. They have learned so much already! I hope they don't forget it all over the Christmas break.





See, this is what I mean about technique! The poor unfortunate soul! She refuses to let me teach her at home, but I keep trying anyway. She is only three years old so we have time. She is a hoot. She dislikes the slow orchestral music and much prefers the heavy beat, loud, fast music. Any time Marty is sifting through the radio channels and we come to a fast song. She jumps up and dances so hard she has to take a breather after a few seconds. It is hilarious. She likes to dance with Daddy a lot too.




Sneaky, sneaky! Jack has been so mischievous lately. In this picture he has stole a piece of Celie's puzzle. Oh, just wait until Celie finds out. He loves the anticipation for a reaction. He is into everything now. He can't even step hand or knee inside a bathroom or else I'll have an hour of sanitation and clean up to do. Not to mention a full roll of toilet paper gone to waste. Our office is the worst! Is seems as though every time I walk in the office, even just to get a piece of paper or something, Celie and Jack make it into that room in 3 seconds flat! Every time! It drives me nuts. I think they watch me heading toward the office and get ready to run/crawl-really-fast right in after me. No kids in the office!!
He is so sweet.

Tabernacle Choir

Congratulations Bob!!!! My brother in-law has made it into the choir. We are so excited for him. If you have never heard of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir before then you must check it out!
