Daddy/ Daughter Sock Hop

 James and I were going away for our anniversary. I found out the Daddy/ Daughter sock hop was the same evening we were supposed to leave. It was a little cheaper to leave on Thursday, we almost did but I would have felt horrible James not being there for her first dance. We decided to leave late Friday night and I'm so glad we did. Jocelynn looked adorable in her poodle skirt (thank you Melinda!). 

Daddy got flowers for her. She was being quiet and got a little nervous before she went. She said to me, I don't want to go. I said you are going to love it and have so much fun! She did and Daddy got some great pics!

 I loved these pics of her. She had such a great time with James and her friends. When they got there she colored, had a hot dog and drink and then started dancing with her friends. 

 James said she was running around with her friends. I love this picture because it shows what a great time she was having. They even did the limbo! James and my mom and dad dropped her off at Melinda's house and then headed to the airport. We were leaving for a week to Washington DC.

"Barnyard Moosical"

 The Kindergarten gave the cutest performance for the parents. They sang and dance and looked adorable in their costumes. Jocelynn wanted to be a pig at first. She told me she didn't want me to laugh when the part of the song they sang was "do the milkshake" and they were jumping up and down shaking their udders. I said "Jocelynn I have to laugh because that is so funny." She doesn't like attention on her but this was a great experience for her and she did awesome. She was so excited the night before!

Easter Garden, and 10 Year Anniversary

 For Family Home Evening one night we put together an Easter garden. The kids loved it and I would love to do this every year. All we needed was rocks, soil, sticks, grass seed, and a little pot and big rock. We talked about Jesus Resurrection. I'm a visual learner and I think Jocelynn really understood. It was 2 weeks before Easter and I was hoping the grass would grow.

10 amazing years. I fall in love with him more and more every year. We have grown so much individually and together. We left for Washington DC the day of our anniversary!

Carter got into my makeup eyeliner and mascara

 OUr Easter garden. The trail of rocks was to the tomb and the big rock covered the tomb. Where the soil is the grass was supposed to grow but it never did. My mom and dad had a nice devotional on Easter and was able to use this also.

Happy St Patricks Day!

My leprechaun decorations I found or scored at a garage sale! I love holiday decor! It's so fun for the kids and myself :) I save it every year and pull it out. Every year I get them a box of lucky charms and the leprechaun came. Peed green in the toilet, footprints all around and chairs knocked over. 

 He left them gold nuggets!

 Jocelynn left him signs on the sliding glass door. He stepped all over them. She went to school the next day and the leprechaun came to their classroom. I love the excitement and energy the holidays bring!

Piano, 17 weeks, Disneyland and Grandma

 Jocelynn started piano once a week. She is actually enjoying it. She tends to panic a little if we haven't practiced. The only time I can is when Carter's asleep because if he is awake he wants to sit at the piano with her. We practice 10 minutes at a time so it's not too much.

 Carter and his silly face

 This picture looks horrible of me but I needed to get one in. 17 weeks, Jocelynn took the picture. I've felt bigger this pregnancy, haven't been eating the best but I still love being pregnant.

 Love my kids!

Caught Carter hiding and eating marshmellows!

 At Disneyland we went to the Jedi training. Jocelynn was so cute! She was picked to go up. She wasn't sure what they were going to do because she has never watched the show. They would ask who wanted to come up and her hand was half way up as if she wasn't sure and she was jumping a little bit up and down. They called her and she went up. She was amazing and even fought Darth Vader. I was so proud of her. She is quiet and can be shy. When she came back down with her certificate she said it was her best day at Disneyland ever. I could tell she was so proud of herself. It almosts makes me cry when I see moments like that. I know these moments will continue to develop her confidence. 

I went up to go to bed and somebody was sleeping in my bed!

 At the library the policeman was there to visit. He let them in his car. When Carter got in the back he said, "okay now it's time to go to jail." Carter started to panic and wanted out. It was funny. I had to reassure him he was just kidding.

 Dorene came to see Grandma for a few days. She came with us to the park. I love the relationship these two have together!

 Paytin and Carter are the best of friends. Paytin went with us to the park one day. Carter loves her!
