Rain, Rain, Go Away...

I would like to watch #5 play!

Jaden's league is already three weeks behind because of the rain. They have only played one game, and that was two weeks ago. She is supposed to play in a tournament this weekend.

If it doesn't rain!

Just The Usual...

I realized today that I haven't blogged about Addie in a while...

She has been up to her usual activities...

Playing, watching cartoons...

Picking on her big sister, becoming very stubborn...

Just the usual for Addie

Now that Spring has arrived Addie has resumed her obsession with swinging...


Of course I wouldn't change anything about Addie

The Tooth That Had To Go...

On Sunday afternoon I asked Jaden about her loose tooth.

She says it is really wiggly, but she is scared to pull it.

Paula and Mom tell me that Jaden already has another tooth growing behind the loose one.

The three of us decide the tooth has to come out.

Jaden at first is excited, but very quickly decided that maybe this is not a good idea.

We discuss with Jaden that the tooth needs to come out.

Jaden says NO!

After a serious discussion about money... ok, let's pull this tooth!

At first Paula tries Dental Floss tied to the tooth...

Then some thread...

Paula tries using a dish towel to grab on to the tooth...

After a little while we have had no luck...

A lot of crying has begun...

After about 15 minutes we give up...

10 minutes later Paula asks Jaden to let her try one more time...

Jaden says "No string...just the dish towel"

After two more tries...

Success!

Jaden was shocked when her tooth came out.

Shocked, but very excited!

In the next picture you can see the new tooth already growing

Now remember that serious discussion about money...

Let's just say Aunt Niece is a big softie...

Softball in the Spring...

Spring: Time for some Softball!

I had taken Jaden over to Southern Nazarene University last fall to watch a Softball game.

She really liked watching the "Big Girls" play, and I promised we would go back in the spring.

My girl, wearing my sunglasses, waiting on the game to start.

Jaden loved watching the game. She would even count balls and strikes.


My very good friend is the coach at SNU. She told Jaden to come back soon, and she would introduce her to some of the players. Jaden can't wait to go back!

This last picture is so Jaden..

Her Beloved Bunny Foo Foo...

Our Little Gymnast

Addie had a recital at gymnastics about a month ago.

Yes...a month ago.

This was Addie's first recital, and she was so excited!

Here is our little gymnast...

Wait...people are looking at me!
I will cover my ears and act like they are not here.

Performing a backward roll...

Showing off her great balance beam skills...


Addie's favorite...Jumping on the Trampoline!


All of the kids received a medal at the end of the recital.

Hey look...I got a medal!

Good Job Addie!

My Two Valentines!

I believe I have two of the cutest valentines! The girls are spending the night with their Nanny and Pa Pa at a new hotel in Yukon that has an indoor swimming pool. The girls have been so excited all week. They could not wait to go swimming...

The girls and I want to wish everyone a Happy Valentines Day...

May you have:

PEACE

and LOVE!

Yes...I Know!

I think this picture best represents the feelings of my sister and mother...

I know...I know...It has been a while since my last post.

The problem...I have have not taken any pictures of the girls lately.

Not one...single...picture!

But I hope to change this very soon.
