Old Friends and Treasure Hunts

Jesse and I went to my friend Jeanette's concert at the Assembly Hall. It was AMAZING! Seriously, this family is so talented. It was so awesome to hang out with Sarah and John and to see Jeanette!!! She looks absolutely fabulous. Here is some pictures from the concert:

( Yes I stole this from you Jeanette, thanks!!!)

While we were at the concert, my sister Cherilyn did the greatest job babysitting all the kiddos. Here is a post about the fun they had. Thanks Cherilyn!!!

My babies

My amazing friend Julie snapped some pictures of the babies today when she babysat. We're planning on doing a formal picture taking with all the kiddos next week, but these pictures are just too cute. Thanks Julie!!!





Next time you babysit Julie, I'm sending the babies over in their Sunday best and their hair all done up!!!

Wee wee wee, all the way home...

Maddi made a animal diorama for the school animal fair. She was assigned to do a pig! Which is PERFECT since she LOVES pigs! We gave her lots of ideas of how to make a cool diorama and then gave her some materials and she went to town. She had me draw a barn so she could color it in and put it as a background. She then went outside and found some dead grass and glued it in there for hay on the barn. I asked her if she wanted me to make play-dough so we could mold a pig but she wanted to draw it herself and then water color it, so that's what we did. She then made a fence and tree out of pipe cleaners. The tree doesn't have leaves though because "it's the fall" she said. She glued cotton balls on the blue sky and made a hay stack. And then for a finishing touch, she glued some corn on the "ground" She had a BLAST! She then typed up her OWN report as I told her what to say (yes it took a long time to write a little paragraph, but it's ok) We were so proud of her! We had a lot of fun!

Grandma came to the little fair they had at the school and here we are outside, it was COLD that day!

Here's one with me, so that we remembered I was there!

And this is me realizing there are about a billion parents all sitting in their cars watching us as they pick their kids up."Did you get the picture? Let's go!"

Maddism

Mom is making Pink Lemonade and Maddi asks to stir.

Mom: I'm not sure that's a good idea, there is alot of water here, I don't want you to spill.

Maddi: Oh, it's ok. I've had a LOT of underwater training...

Well, good to know....if I ever need to go on an emergency submarine mission, you're my gal...
