First day of ballet

I can't believe she is getting so big. She is so adorable.

Not the greatest picture on the planet but these girls are going to Kindergarten next week together. From left to right is Emma, Charity, Kaitlyn and Abby. So cute!

I hate to admit this but Kaitlyn is rather good at being a ballerina.

I can't believe she is old enough to do this kind of stuff.

We love to go to the zoo with the Young's. We go and spend at least three or more hours playing at the zoo. It is a good way to spend the day. I swear the kids were more interested in the playground or the dinosaurs then the actually animals.

They put in these Dinosaur statues at the zoo and the kids love to climb on them, or some of the dinosaurs spit water at you. The dinosaurs will be leaving soon.

Kaitlyn, Danielle, and Aaron on the Dino.

As always Skyler is climbing. He has told me he is planning on marrying Charity when they are older. Oh boy we are in trouble. He isn't even five yet and he is thinking about marriage.

"Look at me mom, I am a big boy."

FHE bowling night

We decided to take the kids bowling for family night one Monday. It was so much fun. The kids love to bowl. They think its one of the greatest things on the planet.

My kids also love the arcade at the bowling alley. They pretend play at all the games. Thank goodness because it is expensive to play arcade games.

Kaitlyn's best friend

This is Kaitlyn's best friend Charity. They do almost everything together. Kaitlyn insisted that Charity and her had to have matching swimsuits or they couldn't be best friends.

Swimming Fun

We have been so busy this week with two of my kids in swimming lessons. They are having so much fun learning how to float and paddle in the water. It is a little sad to see them growing up. Skyler is so awesome. He can swim rather well for a four year old. He is going to be very active when he gets into school. Kaitlyn is also doing well. I was worried about her and not wanting to learn for fear of getting hurt or something. But she took it like a fish in water. My kids are just getting to big.

Crafty Mommy

A friend of mine started making flower bows and so I went to Walmart and bought flowers but then I noticed they made some really cute ribbon. So I got online and goggled bow making and found several patterns I liked. Buying bows at Walmart wasn't great because they always fell apart to easily and I wanted Kaitlyn to have bows that would last. So I started making bows. Then I realized why not make other things. I love to crocehet but I have only ever made blankets. So looked on line for other patterns that wouldn't take so long. I bought the looms to make hats and I started making hats with those and I have started crochet baby hats. I hope to start crocheting little booties and scarfs. I also have crocheted bracelets which are really cute and inexpensive. Here are some of the things I have made in the last few weeks. Just wanted to show off how much fun I have been having with new crafts.
