CIRCUS!

I am going to apologize right now. I am very, very sorry that we forgot our camera and weren't able to take any pictures. I always used to carry it in my diaper bag and I cross my heart that I will from now on!
Anyway, we went to the Circus last night and it was SUPER fun! Before it started they had miniature horse rides and elephant rides. Michael took Lily to ride the horses and she was SO cute. She was a little scared at first and only looked down. Then she liked it more and she looked around and very softly said, "yee-haw". I could only see her from a distance because I stayed in the stands with Kaylee. Micahel brought her back up and she kept asking to ride the elephant. I took her down to look at it. I didn't think she would want to ride it once she saw it up close. But she asked again and again. So I took her up the steps and we rode it together. I was a little less than terrified! We were sitting right on its butt and I could feel its hips moving up and down. My heart was pounding beacuse I was sure it was going to go crazy and start leaping around and throw us all off! I was relieved when the ride was over, but Lily loved it! She wanted to go again!
Our favorite part of the show was the elephants! They were so cute! They danced and stood on stools and they balanced on their front two feet with their back feet clear up in the air! They are amazing animals. It was very impressive and tons of fun! I can't wait to go again!

Standing Girl!



Kaylee has just started letting go for a few seconds everytime she pulls herself up! It is so exciting! We thought it would be fun to take some standing pictures. Michael is just off to the side in these. He let go right before I took the pictures, but she is standing by herself! I am so excited for her to start walking!

Long Lost Friends!




Okay so when I was like 8 we lived in Sylmar and I had a huge crush on a little boy in our ward named Brandon Packer. We were friends and got to play together a lot because our dads played softball together and I remember them coming to our house sometimes and stuff like that. We moved to Independence when I was nine and they moved out of Sylmar ward a little after we did... I think. Even though they didn't move that far I never saw my friend again! I have always wondered about him and how he was doing and if I'd ever see him again. Anyways! When Geri started this semester she met him in her Voice class! It was very exciting:) She brought him over last week and it was really fun to visit and catch up! He looks exactly the same as he did when we were little. I would recognize him anywhere! I'm glad we're friends again, Brandon!

Sleepy Girls


I just think this picture is cute

Yee Haw


Just as I was finishing posting the last two I looked at the girls and Lily was sitting on Kaylee saying "I'm a cowboy, yee haw!" she was also holding onto the straps of Kaylee's outfit and whinnying like a horse!

Raquetball


Okay, so I've been wanting very badly to go play raquetball! Geri and I went a few days ago and we rented all our equipment, walked down to the courts, put on our goggles, and realized we didn't have a ball! We didn't have long to play anyway because we had just finished working out. So we just returned everything and went home! We are definitely two of a kind! So today Michael and I went. We thought we could buy balls from a vending machine at the Hart building, but it turns out they don't have one anymore! Michael asked some guys if we could borrow one of theirs. It was so fun! Of course Michael beat me:) But we had fun together. Rachel watched our girls today. It was so nice to have a break! Thanks Rach!

Ello Luv

Here are some of this weeks pictures. I have more on Geri's camera but I have to find the charger and charge it a little before I can put pictures up.





We gave Kaylee the rest of Lily's pudding cup. She liiiiiiiked it!
