Congrats!!

Yeah!! Hailee made it into the Nutcracker!! She will be a Bon-Bon (don't ask, I don't know what that means). We are so excited, and proud of her for doing her best. As soon as I know any details, like what performances she will be doing I will post it. Thanks so much for all of your encouragement, we read all the comments before we went to auditions!! I know she will be mad at me, but I just had to check before she got home from school, I have been a nervous wreck waiting!

Get out of the Tub!!

Issac is such a little tub freak, he just loves the tub. Today as I was trying to get Hailee ready for the auditions, Issac thought that he needed to get in the tub. He took his pants off and went and climbed in. Then he tried to turn the water on, luckily, I was close enough to the bathroom and heard him in there. Who knows how wet he would have been otherwise! He wasn't very happy with me when I pulled him out.

Nutcracker Auditions!!

Well, today was the auditions for the Nutcracker. As you can tell, Hailee was a little nervous, but I'm positive that my face was way more nervous than hers! I was a wreck sitting there waiting for her to get done. The parents were not allowed upstairs to watch, so I just had to sit there and wonder how it was going. Well, we won't know any results until Monday afternoon. We are so proud of Hailee for putting herself out there and trying! Thanks to everyone who wissed her well, it means a lot to us! Keep your fingers crossed.

Good Luck Hailee

This Saturday Hailee is going to audition for the Mountain West Ballet Nutcracker!! Everyone please wish her luck, she is very nervous. Hailee is very excited to audition, but not sure what to expect, and since I don't have any idea how they do things, I don't know what to tell her. We have never had her audition for anything like this before. Hailee is a wonderful dancer, and I'm sure she will do great, but all the prayers you could spare would be greatly appreciated!! Wish us luck!!

My Little Cheerleader

Here is Hailee with two of her friends (Abi and Sophie) doing cheerleading at Woods Cross. Once a year, the high school cheerleaders put on a "Mini Cheerleader" clinic. They teach the girls a few cheers, and a dance. Then the girls get to cheer, and perform their dance at half time at one of the football games. I know that the only reason Hailee loves to dance and cheer so much, is because I used to make fun of the girls on the drill team and cheerleaders all through high school. I had friends who were on both, and I teased them all the time. Now, I have a daughter who would like nothing better than to be a Woods Cross Cheerleader when she grows up. Scary as it is to addmit, she is good enough, that if she sticks with dance and doing the cheerleading once a year, she could do either cheerleader or drill team when the time comes. Hailee is very talented when it comes to dance, and she is always so enthusiastic!! We love you Hailee!! You looked so darn cute out there, we are proud of you.

Just playing outside.

I know I have not posted much lately. Things have been sooo stinking crazy! Well, this last week, while Hailee was at cheerleading, Chase and Issac were outside playing in the yard. I grabbed the camera and got an awsome picture of Chase climbing up in the tree. It is not a big tree, so he can't go very high, but he loves to climb it anyway. I love the fall season, all the changing colors, and cooler temps at night. Today we actually went to the fair with Holly and Kaden. I didn't even take the camera (horrible, I know). We had lots of fun, and spent too much money. I love to go and "people" watch, the kids don't really get into that much though.

The cutest aprons ever!!

Okay, so my beautiful, wonderful, sweet neighbor makes the most gorgeous aprons and other stuff!! She sells them at the farmers market, and she has a blog. You need to check it out! I have bought two of the aprons, unfortunately, I gave them both away as gifts (crazy me). I need to go pick some new fabric and have her make me one. I know what you are thinking, Lindy in an apron, scary, I know, but with a new oven, a dishwasher, and a decent kitchen, I actually cook now.
