Mary's first dance performance at school

This is Mary's first dance performance. This is a group of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. They meet twice a week after school to make up and practice their routines. They all did a Fantastic job. I will try to video the next one because you can't really tell all the cool stuff that they were doing with pictures.

Training for a race.....

This is Mary and Burt training for the upcoming Londons Run. Mary and AJ will both run the 2 mile and Burt will do the 10K. They are all working so hard. I love that they spend time together.

We went to play in the snow in Strawberry and had the best time. Emily and Burt stayed home and AJ was on a snow campout with the scouts, So it was just me and the girls. We went with some friends and stayed for several hours. When we got home Emily decided it was her turn for a ride.

New Family Pics

Here are a few of them. I think they turned out great. These were taken the week before Christmas at 8:30 in the morning. We were all so cold. Instead of saying "cheese" we all said "FREEZE" !

Katelynn loses tooth #2 !!

Two weeks after the loss of her first tooth, Katelynn lost her 2nd tooth. The event was eerily familiar. This tooth began to loosen with the loss of her first one. The rest is almost exactly the same as last time. The ToothFairy left her $2 this time and she plans to spend it at her schools' Christmas gift shop.

Katelynn Lost Her First Tooth !!!

Wow ! What an ordeal this was. Her tooth had been loose for almost a month. No one was allowed to touch it. On Sunday She let Dartell look at it, after a lot of convincing. I won't lie. Some wiggling did take place. Dartell asked Katelynn if she could see it again and before we knew it her tooth was out. She was in shock at first, but when she saw blood she lost it. Slowly she realized that she wasn't going to die. Then a sibling mentioned the "Tooth Fairy". That was all it took. She put it in some water and left it on the counter. The next morning she had a crisp $1 bill. Guess what she bought with it. A 6 inch solid chocolate santa. Thank you Tooth Fairy.
