Dance class

Kenna has been given the opportunity to take ballet and tap (thank you Grandma Murray). She is having an absolute ball with it. Here is a picture of her on her first day(March 3). It is every Monday and then at family home evening she shows us what she has learned. She has a recital in June and can't wait to wear her costume and dance on a stage. She is such a girly girl. They let us take a few pictures before class started it was impossible to get one of her looking at the camera she was so intrigued with her self in the mirror.

Art work

I am having a really hard time wanting to wash this off of my wall. Kenna came up to me a few weeks ago with a pencil in her hand and said
"Mom I am sorry I disappointed you"
I had two thought almost simultaneously,
1. "where did you learn the word disappointed?"
2. (actually spoken) "What did you do!?"
She took me into the living room and above the heater vent she had drawn a picture of our family. I thought it was rather good for a 3 year old but not wanting to condone writing on the wall she was sentenced to 3 minutes on the top step and lost pencil and crayon privileges for the rest of the day. It was hard to get a good picture so I hope you can see it.

Little Bryn

She looked so cute and so much like my sister Tiffany with her hair up like this that I had to take a picture. Big blue eyes, peachy cheeks hair poking up on top. I called her Tiff twice today. I will hunt and find a picture of Tiff at this age and post it so everyone can see the similarities. Tiff this is what your kids will look like.
This is a fish face that she has figured out she can do. I am so glad that I have a fast camera now so I can capture this as it only lasts a few seconds.

Mail in a Box

Let us not be confused with the various types of mail, here they are (according to my 3 yr old)
"Envelopes kind"- this is your standard mail delivered to the mail box
"Brown truck mail"- dropped off by the UPS man and usually for dad
"Mail in a box"- can come from the Brown truck but is usually from the white FedEx truck and for the kids from a Grandma.
We got the Mail in a box kind this past week from Grandma Murray, with cute clothes, valentine dogs and candy, and Dance Lessons for Kenna. She is so excited to start Ballet, it took some looking but we found a group that would take her late. She has a pink leotard, white ballet shoes and white tights. She starts on Monday

Big Blue Eyes

My kids have many features that I love, but my all time favorite is there huge eyes. Brad took this picture of Bryn and it captured not only the size but also the amazing blue color that they are. We call them Great Grandpa Wade eyes as they are my Moms Dads color. I hope they stay this Blue.

BROWNIES

Kenna loves to cook. So after a few days of begging I let her help me make some Brownies. They turned out very good, they had to they were from a box. I am sure however, they would not have been as delicious if she had not worn the chef hat and cupcake apron. After each ingredient that she added she would say "I need to see the directions", and then look at the back of the box. I think I like the Preschool age best.

Some Snow

We woke up the other day to some snow. Kenna played outside all morning. We had footprints and snow angels all over our yard. She had such a good time. I had just finished shoveling the driveway and sidewalks and heard Mom look a mountain! I turned around and saw her standing next to this pile of snow up to her knees and thought; "wow we need to get you out to Idaho more". Anyway I laughed and took her picture. If you would like to see some real snow mountains look at my sister Jessica's blog. Unfortunately the snow only stayed around for a few days.
