Flash Mob!

Ashlee was a part of the first EVER flash mob in El Dorado County today with Foothills Dance and Performing Arts Studio! It was quite neat how the whole thing came about. Flash mob correspondence is only supposed to be transmitted via text and e-mail, so about a week before the scheduled mob the studio owner sent out a link with instructions for the dance on YouTube. Ashlee then had to learn and rehearse the dance at home. They met at the studio last night and today for a brief group rehearsal, then everyone headed over to Regal Cinemas in El Dorado Hills, where they were to perform. The dance had four sections, and with each section new people were added. The idea was to look nonchalant until the dance started, so it appeared that dancers were coming out of the woodwork! This was a lot of fun. Ashlee was in all four sections. Way to go Ashlee!

2 Months Old!

Anthony is two months old today. He looks so cozy and peaceful asleep on my bed, I can't get enough of these pictures.
We had a photo shoot tonight after the kids were in bed.


Look at the big smile I was able to get out of him!
I am still loving these chubby legs and little feet.
Anthony you have brought so much joy.

Under the Stars

Last weekend the kids spent a night out on an airbed on the back patio. We would normally let them sleep on the trampoline in the summer like Forrest used to do as a kid, but since we have moved the trampoline up to the field by our house I decided this was no longer a safe option so they opted for the patio instead. Ashlee brought one of her nightlights out and plugged it into the patio outlet-very cute! I think I saw their flashlights going past 11:00 and they were very tired the next day, but this is the stuff childhood is made of.

Love Letters from Jacob

These are two letters Jacob has given me the past two nights. He handed me this top one late tonight after everyone had been tucked in bed. Just when I think I am about to explode from all the pressure that mounts by the end of the day and the stress of the dinner / bedtime routine, I receive something like this and it melts my heart. Bless them for being so tender and forgiving despite all my weaknesses.

Thank you Jacob. This means more to Mom than you could ever know.

Snoozin'

Snoozin' on Mama's bed this morning. I rolled him over for some tummy time, and he fell asleep.

Handwriting Worksheets

I just found these free printable tracing worksheets online. They are probably the best I have found so far, and the website is very easy to use. You can customize and print them up in seconds. I will definitely be using these for Noah and Kaitlyn in the upcoming school year to teach and fine-tune.
Although she is only 3, I will probably be teaching Kaitlyn alongside Noah this year. They are at about the same level academically.
She is picking up her letters very quickly and is very proud in her accomplishment!
