Make-Up



My sister Kristy's little girl Asia had Adalyn's name for christmas this year. She gave Adalyn a make-up kit. It was really cute and Adalyn was so excited to have make-up. I keep it up in her closet so she can only use it when I can supervise her. So Adalyn and especially Ellie is always bugging me to get it down. They love to cake it on there faces. So here are some pictures of them. Also I added a video of Ellie and had her say some words. I love the way she talks!

Reading scriptures as a family!


Every night after dinner we read our scriptures and my sister Jackie about a year ago gave me a great idea to let Adalyn read also. So we say a word or two and she repeats it until she has read a verse or two. Well a couple of weeks ago Ellie wanted to start reading, she does really well with most of the words. It just make me laugh to hear her say these big words, she loves to do it and makes sure she gets a turn. Not only that but I have noticed that she says a lot more words and started putting 2 and 3 words together, I think it has helped her speech a lot.(you'll notice when she sees I'm video taping her she stops reading and is messing around!)

So I just figured out how to post video's,(I know it's taken me awhile) Anyways I am going back through some of my blogs and adding pics and will also just post a bunch of random video's from the past 6 months!

Camping in our house?

So I'm a little behind but I'm trying to catch up on my blogging. So the first Friday in February Adam decided that he wanted to camp with the girls. It was a little cold outside so he thought why not camp in the house! So we got pizza and pop, and had a fun dinner eating on the couches why we rented and watched a movie. Then we had dessert and Adam and the girls set up there tent. It's a little two man tent that we had. It was such a fun night and the girls loved setting everything up. Adam didn't want to sleep on our hard wood floors so he blew up an air mattress and put it under the tent. Then they got there sleeping bags and flash lights and had fun getting settled in. Of course 2 minutes after I went upstairs Adam called for me to come get Ellie who wanted to just play and not go to sleep. So she slept with me which she thought was so fun! It was just one of those nights that we were really able to enjoy one another and create a good memory for our kids!

Start Smart Basketball!



Adalyn the beginning of February was able to go to start smart basketball camp. It's a program here on base they also do other sports through out the year, T-ball, golf, soccer and b-ball. You have to be 3 so this was Adalyn's first time doing it. It was 2 weeks long. They got a shirt and a really cool basketball. Basically 3 times a week for an hour we went and she learned how to dribble, shoot the ball, bounce pass and chest pass. They also worked on running correctly and a few other drills and games. It was a lot of fun. She loved learning and but hated me to correct her or try to teach her. She kept telling me "Mom, I can do it myself!" She can be very independent when she wants to be. My favorite sport to play is basketball so I hope that it is something she can enjoy as well. She did really well for her age.
