Karate Lessons

Emily started taking karate lessons in August and is learning all sorts of great lessons on self-defense, bullying, as well as karate moves to help her stay alert, strong and flexible. She at first was hesitant about learning karate, but now she really likes it! We are so proud of her and her accomplishments! Good job girl!

 

SNOW!!!!

We had a great snow storm this past week and the girls jumped at the chance to go throw some snow balls at each other and slide down the hill in our back yard. The neighbor boys, Jax, Jagger and Hendricks sometimes come out to play when the girls are out. 

 

Christmas Morning

 

Christmas PJ's!

Christmas tradition Pj's! The girls love their cats and I saw these cute pjs online and thought, why not!? 

 

Violin concert with Bro. Casperson

 Avery has played violin now for 4 years and she is getting really good. She decided to join Orchestra at the middle school. And we found out her orchestra teacher was Bro. Casperson! Funny story about him... about 4 years ago I was parking at the public library and got to close to his car?(which I still have no idea how I did that?!) But I ended up causing some damage. I went into the library and asked the front desk to call over their intercom the van and license plate number. He comes walking up and I told him I hit his car. Anyway we ended up having to pay out of pocket(as our car insurance that we had for 10 years!! lapsed on us just 2 months prior without our knowledge..sucks to be us! haha!) Then Avery goes to his class the first time and she tells him in front of the class, Oh your the guy my mom hit a few years ago in front of the library.... hahahaha... ugh. 

Thanks Avery. 

He was really nice about it though and just laughed. 

 

Girl's Weekend

Joanna and I had a fun girls' weekend together in Pocatello. We got a hotel room and just spent time laughing and shopping, eating and more laughing! It was the perfect getaway weekend. Thanks Jo! Love ya!

 

Hip Hop

 Madisen wanted to try out dancing and she decided she wanted to try doing Hip Hop. She loved it and was really good at it. So she did Hip Hop for 2 years before she became one of the oldest in the group. They didn't have a Hip Hop group with older girls so she decided to stop dance lessons. But for those two years it was really fun watching her and we are so proud of her for pursuing something like this having never danced before. Good Job Madisen!!
