Playing Catch Up...January Style

Time for me to catch up on the month of January. First, Spencer and Grace had a ballroom dance competition. They both did great, although, Grace was not happy with her performance. And Spencer moved on to the UVU competition, while Grace didn't. It was hard to teach her that sometimes certain events don't turn out the way you would like. Chalk this experience up to learning how to weather dissapointment. It hurt my heart to have to help her through this, but better now than when she's twenty.


Lucy LOVES her gymnastics class. She attends every week with her little friend Peachy. "Nastics" is her favorite.


Here Lucy got ready all by herself. Wow! Trying to love her look, with the panties on top of the leotard. Maybe she's staring a new trend.

And we celebrated Grandpa's birthday! The kids love celebrating his birthday because they all get a turn blowing out his candles, again and again.
Our Valentines treasure hunt.
Grandma Char made Lucy her very own sock doll. Now she has one like her older siblings.
And we had a great time at Color Me Mine for family night. I loved watching what the kids created...Lucy's was especially cute. She really painted her little puppy to death.
