Preschool Graduation

 Today was Charley's last day of school and Preschool Graduation Program.  They all had a little part, they sang songs, had a slide show, and cake at the end.  It was so cute! Charley really loved school this year, and  was really sad for it to be over.  But we have a lot of fun things going on this summer she is looking forward to too.  We only have a few more months off before KINDERGARTEN!!!

Pictured above is Charley with her class.  And her teachers Mrs. Christie and Mrs. Kristen.

IT'S OFFICIALLY SUMMER VACATION AT OUR HOUSE!!!!!!  WHOOT WHOOT!!!!

Dance Festival ~ Frog Dance

Today was the dance festival at school.  Each grade learned a dance and performed it in front of all the parents and the rest of the students.  The pre-school did a Frog dance!  It was so cute! And I am so proud of Charley! I was a little nervous that she would get scared, but she didn't.  She was front and center and was Great! I am so glad we picked the pre-school at the elementary to send Charley, it really has been a great experience!

Baby Cereal

Lately I feel like Dani isn't really satisfied with just milk. She is almost 5 months, and is really good at sitting in her Bumbo.  So I thought I would try feeding her some baby cereal.  She kept giving me her worried face.    She didn't seem to like it very much.  But we'll keep trying.

Blessing

We were able to  bless Dani on April 22, 2012. Ben gave a great blessing.  And we were really lucky to have both grandparents there, and a few of her aunts and uncles.

Schramma & Schrammpa  were planning on coming to UT for Calvin and Courtney's graduation.  And Nana & Grandpa and crew were planning on coming up that weekend to bring Lexi back to Omaha for the summer.  So it all worked out!

We weren't the only ones in our ward who used BYU's graduation and family in town to schedule their baby blessing that same Sunday.  There were two that day, and we were the second blessing.  In the middle of the first blessing, Dani decides to poo!  As soon as we heard it, Ben and I looked at each other trying to figure out what to do.  I checked to see how bad it was....and it was bad!  We decided it was too late to change her, so we took a small blanket and wrapped it around her, under her dress.  The dress was HUGE anyway, so you really couldn't tell she had a blanket on under it.  

After the blessing I took her straight to the bathroom to change her.  She managed to get her poo through her diaper, through the onsie, through the blanket, and onto her slip!  We were lucky it didn't make it to the actual dress. Now that was an impressive blowout!...and one we will always remember!

The pictures were taken before church.  We had a small brunch/lunch beforehand for family and friends.

The weekend after Easter we went to SLC for Uncle Ira's annual Music and the Spoken Word and Luncheon.

Easter 2012

I am finally blogging again.  I was going to try really hard this year to keep up with it.  I thought after Christmas, and after Dani was born our life would slow down a little bit, but I was very wrong.  Easter was over a month ago! We went to the Easter Egg hunt at the park by our house.  Our HOA put it on....and since we helped pay for the event with our HOA fees, we'd thought we would go! We got there just in time for them to say "go".  All the kids started at the bottom of the hill, but we had to run to the park and when they said go, we were just barely at the top of the hill.....so we worked out way down.  We had a little advantage because all the other kids were fighting for the ones at the bottom.

Easter morning the girls found their basket.  The bunny left them a few eggs to find, brought them a movie, "Hop", and even got their jelly beans to grow into lolly pops again!

After we looked for eggs, we got ready for church.  I am so glad Easter lands on a Sunday every year.  It helps bring us back to the real reason why we celebrate Easter....to remember the sacrifice of our Savior and how because if it, we can live with him again!
