Dressing up!

My kids love to dress up ( if you didn't know that already).  They are always wearing some sort of princess dress or dance outfit.  This is just another episode.  Usually Kenady will say, "Mom, and then you see a beautiful girl, (herself, of course) walking, and you say, 'Oh my goodness, who is that beautiful girl?'"  So Presley will then say, "Mom, you be the prince." Then she'll take my hand to dance with her.  Its very entertaining.

This is Presley dancing "like a princess," as she puts it.

This is Kenady's version.  Very lovely.
Kids these days are so lucky.  If had even one princess dress at their age I would have been in heaven.  My kids have a whole box full and usually get another one for every special occasion, (Thanks to grandmas and grandpas).

First Day of School

This is Kenady on her first day of school.  She was so excited to ride on the bus.  I barely got this picture before she bolted down the sidewalk. 

This was the second day of school.  She loves it.  It it a very long day though.  She gets on the bus at 8:53am and doesn't get home off the bus until 4:10 pm.  Its long for her and long for her mother.  I've picked her up a couple of days so that we have time to go do something before dinner.  Its so fun to see her getting so old.  

 This is our fish tank finished (well almost).  It turned out beautifully.  Josh is still trying to get everything situated.  We did have some bass in the tank, but we came home from SLC to the smell of 5 dead fish.  It was awful.  I almost lost my lunch and I wasn't even the one that had to stink my head real close to the tank to get them out.  

That's one tricky thing about having such a large fish tank,  We have to keep an 8 ft ladder in the basement at all times.  Josh is constantly on the ladder reaching down in the tank doing stuff.  I think we will end up getting some more types of bass or freshwater fish to put in it. 

I would say that besides getting some furniture, our house is about 97% done.  We have most of our cabinet doors.  Still missing a few important ones, but hopefully by next week we will be all done.  Hallelujah!

Rough House!

This is what usually happens after dinner. I can't imagine what it will be like when we have a boy in the house.
