God Bless America

This is Mckenna's first grade class saying the Pledge of Allegiance on the radio this morning (KBull 93). They say the Pledge and sing the Star Spangled Banner each morning in her class. She has a great teacher that does a wonderful job of teaching the kids more than just what they need to know academically. I love it!!

A Rare Sunday Moment

It is a rare Sunday morning when I have the kids ready for church with time to spare....so we took those few extra moments we had and captured it on film. I really wanted to get a picture of Mckenna. She just looks so grown up to me and this cute little dress (Thanks Sierrah!). When we got to church even Matt commented - Mckenna looks older. (FYI - Matt doesn't see the kids on Sunday morning until we arrive at church...which means Sunday mornings are.....you can only imagine!!).

Slacker Mom - Kaden 6 Months

OK - Slacker Mom!! Kaden turned 6 months and I kept thinking I need to get him in for a photo...but the month came and went so this is Kaden's pretend 6 month picture...yes...taken after those 7 month pictures. At least he has a picture, right? We are getting our family pictures done this Saturday so I decided to try out the outfit on him. Handsome Boy!!

Mia's First Dance Class

Mia was ecstatic about going to her first dance class. The night before dance Mia was saying her prayers and said "...bless me to be pretty and to be a pretty dancer..." Oh how she loves to dance. The morning of her first dance class she woke up early and wanted to get her dance clothes on. It was all I could do to convince her that dance wasn't until later. She was all smiles at dance. When I picked her up she kept telling me how much fun she had and how she gets to dance in a Halloween Recital. She is so excited. Oh the other hand, we have singed Mckenna up for tumbling -NOT DANCE!! as Mckenna would put it herself. One of our neigbors was talking to Mckenna the other day and said I hear you are going to take dance. She said no I am not taking dance I am taking tumbling. She hates when I accidentally call it dance. Mckenna wanted nothing to do with performances either. She made me make sure that if she singed up that she didn't have to be in recitals. We went to her first class last night to check it out. She may wait and start after her soccer season. We'll see???

Kaden - 7 Months

Kaden is growing up so fast. Hard to believe 7 months have gone by. His personality is starting to really come out. I just love this little guy. His favorite things at 7 months are blowing raspberries, Mckenna coming home from school, the TV remote, phone, playing the piano and baby food. He is starting to get up on all fours now. Can't wait for him to start crawling!!!
