Dance Class

I enrolled the girls in a five week dance class. Britannia's was ballet and Mishayla's was dance and tumble. They didn't seem to enjoy very much, they both had friends in their class which made it more enjoyable. We sure miss our old dance teacher though. How cute is Mishayla doing the splits. It cracks me up to see her do grown up things because she is still so tiny! The last picture is of Britannia at a little cheer camp that the high school put on. She was so funny she said, "I going to dress like a real cheer leader, then they might think that I really am a cheer leader." She's the one in pink and purple in case you couldn't tell. I don't know what was going on with my camera.

Our Visitors

My cousin and his wife are our closest relatives, we were thrilled to kave them come stay with us for the weekend. We had so much fun with them, it's always nice to have visitors...HINT,HINT!

Friday Afternoon

I love this stage of life so much! For those of you that know me best you know how much I can complain about it. It is so hard and is much more work than I ever bargained for but I think that's part of what makes it so great. We had a lesson in Relief society about how it's the hard times that shape us into who we are and who we will become. Being so far from home and family and raising my kids on my own for the most part is a very big challenge. However, I think it is shaping our family and making us stronger. I love the strong bond that I share with my children. I'm so grateful that Jason is willing to work so hard so that I can be a stay at home and share so many moments with my children (the good moments and the bad ones). I really enjoyed conference and was truly touched by the talks on joy. There have been times in my life where I've just went through the motions and the day to day routine. I think the love that our Heavenly Father has for us is incredible. I know he sent us here to love and enjoy life. I'm so thankful for the moments in my life where I feel that pure joy in my heart.

David's 1st Haircut

David loved getting his haircut. He laughed the whole time and he kept handing the peices of hair that fell to Jason. He is such a responsible little boy. He is always bringing me things and saying, "up" so I will put it away. He is such a sweetheart and he looks like such a big boy with his haircut.

Ward Campout

This picture says it all. Our sweet daddy decided we would sleep in the back of the van. That way wouldn't need to bring as much camping gear and he could fit his tree stand in the van so he leave and hunt early in the morning. Needless to say we were very cramped and didn't get much sleep. It was really fun though! We love you Jason hunting obsession and all!

Children's Museum

I decided I better take the kids to the Children's Museum a few last times before our pass expired. They love that place, there are so many fun things to keep them busy. We've had a pass for 2 years now and I think it's time to move on and find some new things to do here since our time here is quickly coming to an end. If any of you have any fun ideas on where I sould take my kids this winter, please share!;)
