Ballet Watch Day

Today was a day that we got to go watch Belle's ballet class. Its always fun because Belle seems to take it so seriously.

The first two videos are during the class where they practice some of their moves.



These next two videos are of their dance for the recital. They are going to practice all year for the recital in June.

Listen closely to the first one, you'll hear Belle yawn and then announce that she farted AGAIN. Thats my girl.


During this video they were just supposed to make up their own dance, which is part of the routine.

Thanksgiving

We had a fun Thanksgiving. I wasn't the best at taking pictures. We headed over to the Freshours for the first half of the holiday weekend and then finished it up at my parents.

At Grandma B's (Nic's Grandma) house there was plenty of room for the kids to run and play which was nice because you didn't hear them for the most part. Ethan on the other hand you had to pretty much keep a constant eye on. Even then he managed to throw Grandma's Jesus plaque down the stairs and shatter it. Oops. =)



Then we had a Wii dancing tournament. That was fun.




Here is Waren and Ethan. Waren is 7 mos old and the boys wear the same size clothes. BTW, I think Ethan is looking different again. The boy is growing up so much.


I headed over to my mom's Thursday night in preparation for Black Friday. We headed out at 5:30 and hit up Kohls, Babies R Us, Old Navy, Target and the mall. It was fun, but nothing I'd really do again unless there was something I had to have. Even then I don't think I'm brave enough to hit Walmart.

I really stunk at pictures at my moms, but here a couple cute shots of Brody and Ethan.

Kids say the Darnest Things

I was laying my clothes out on the bed, Belle picked up my bra and said "Here's your boobie patch mom". Ha ha ha!

Cute prayer

I just want to document this cute little prayer Belle said tonight. I imagine she learned it at school.

God is with me when I work
and when I play.
God is with me everyday.
Amen.

Its fun to hear about her love for God already. She tells us all the time that God is in her heart and is always wanting to read the "upside down bible". Ha ha, it's a book of little bible stories that was printed upside down from the cover. Which reminds me that we really need to find a more age appropriate book. She really likes it, but I feel like it's a little over her head.

A couple nights ago she even made us say a prayer before dinner. Not a habit we're into, but she said "we need to fold our hands". We took the cue and Nic said a prayer before dinner. Like my mom said, she's going to be holding our feet to the fire.

Looking cute in their holiday attire

Ethan's outfit was too cute.





I was hoping to get a nice pic of them together. Luckily I'll have professional pictures for that.
