My Aunt Mie put these pictures on her blog of my grandma and grandpa. I hadn't ever seen them before and I think they're just beautiful. It's been about 1 1/2 months since she passed away, and it's still hard to believe it's real. We miss you grandma.
Madilyn's friend Ava invited us to her dance class at The Pointe today for their Princess party. Maddie was SO excited. While she was "napping" I over-heard her telling one of her dolls, "After we wake up, get to go to princess party with Ava...". It was so cute. The girls all looked so adorable and they just had a blast!
Madilyn with Ava and Quincy. Such cute girls.
HUGS!
Dancing around, excited for class to start! Quincy has the most gorgeous hair and she's only 2 1/2!
The girls with their teacher. How cute is she?! Maddie about had a heart attack when her teacher walked in all dressed up. I'm sure she thought she was getting taught by a REAL LIVE princess!
Showing off what she got at the party! A new crown, a wand, a bag filled with toys and candy, and a balloon.
While we were there, Jessica pointed out this guy:
I was trying really hard to be secretive about taking a picture of him, because I felt like a dork. BUT, Kylee told me I needed to get a picture with him, so she took one of us.
It's MATT from So You Think You Can Dance! Love that show! And he was SOOO good. I was excited to meet him. He was a nice guy.
I've come to the conclusion that January is purpose-less. December is Christmas and by the time February come around, we get glimpses of Spring. But January? What's great about January? Nada. Unless you like being frozen solid for a whole month.
Anyway....We've been going crazy around here with cabin fever. My kids have both been off and on sick. Max has like 25 teeth coming in. Ok, four, but might as well be 25. They are hurting him! So we've kind of just been hanging out at the house. Today after nap time I grabbed the camera and just snapped some pictures of us in all of our boredom.
Ok, besides being holed up, life is good! Mike has a good job, we have a house to keep us protected from the sub-zero temperatures, and we have two awesome kids. I guess January just helps me appreciate July more. So, THAT must be it's purpose! To help me remember not to complain when it's 100 degrees outside.
This picture made me laugh. He's looking at me like, "what, me?!" and Maddie's finger is pointing straight at him :)
Excuse the chappy faces, like I said, we've all had runny noses.
Max was so smiley.
Talking on the phone
This is Max's best little buddy now days, Curious George. I love that he loves it so much. Notice the cushion on the chair is gone. Madilyn and him take off that cushion any chance they get. They like to sit on it on the ground. Anyway, this first picture is just awesome because he even has his legs locked around George.
I'm working on getting Max onto one nap instead of two. I was trying to keep him up for as long as possible today, so that he'd get a good long nap. I was unloading our groceries and this is how I found him:
Falling asleep....
...and he's out. I love this little boy. He melts my heart.
The day finally came! Madilyn has been SO excited for dance class. She had such a fun time, and loved her teacher Miss Mindy. Her friend Ava came too, and it was so fun to peek through the little window and see them dancing around having a blast.
We're going to try out a few different studios and see what works best. I did LOVE the teacher at this studio we went to today. She reminded me of someone who could play Cinderella or Belle and walk around Disneyland mesmerizing little girls. The parking was interesting though with the bad storm. My friend Jessica had quite the experience getting stuck, like completely stuck, in the deep snow with both her kids in the car. I felt so bad for her. At least we were able to push her out.
Anyway, I'm going to post a lot of pictures of Madilyn in her dance stuff...just because I couldn't choose :)
Warming up for class to the Wiggles.
This one's kinda blurry, but it's the only one I had of this awesome pose!
She was trying so hard to point her toes. She finally got the hang of it!
