We've had a lot of fun as a family lately, especially with all of the random snow that tends to shut down our town!!!!! With our really cool sleds and fantastic-ly large hill in our yard (that leads out to an icy cul-de-sac), we tend to get all the neighborhood kids whenever the snow hits. It's been a lot of fun (or should I say daddy and the girls have had fun while mommy stays inside the warm house!) seeing all the kids out there sledding away!! And check out the HUGE snow family that the girls made with their daddy! By the end of the snowman making process, the snow parts were sopping wet (as they were already melting!) and weighed probably 150 pounds!!! WOW!!!

The girls also recently got to go to "The Ball" (Daddy Daughter Dance) with their very own Prince Charming. It was so funny to see them acting super fancy with their new necklaces and corsages!!!!! You can see Emma was a little sad in the picture as she had just given her corsage to a friend :) But she cheered up later as we all told her how kind that was........she's such a happy girl!!

We also were lucky enough to be invited to Reid's birthday party. He's such a sweet little boy and had a very special party at "My Gym" and "The Jumpee Place". His parents rented out both facilities and just let the kiddos run wild, even enjoying a class at "My Gym", which was FANTASTIC!!!!!! They loved every minute of it!!!

Emma is learning how to read- which makes us all soooo incredibly proud! She's working so hard and loves mastering different books! We're also taking her around to visit all kinds of Kindergartens........no luck yet on finding one we all love, but we're getting closer. So far her favorite was the homeschooling group- we'll see about that....... :) Truthfully, I think she'll love ANY school we visit- she just really truly loves school!! She's also learning her address and phone number, and it always cracks me up when we get to "city" which she says as "Rock Heel". HAHAHAHA!!!! It's happening- she's a true southerner!

Bela continues to crack us up every day in so many bizarre ways! Life is one stand up comedy routine to her! Yesterday she jumped on Braden and said "Wow, you have a biiiiiig belly! It's GRANDE!!" Yes, her spanish classes are paying off!!!! She loves her teachers at school dearly and has even begun to love Bible school! Her favorite song to sing around the house is "Good Morning God" which puts a smile on my face :) She despises our cat, which also makes me laugh! The other night I heard a bunch of whining in her room and went to check on her. I saw her bedroom door open, the cat get thrown out, and the door slam right behind her!!! HAHAHA!!! I guess we won't be getting another cat as I had hoped :)

The girls miss their family. Emma decided the other day she would mail herself to Grandma.....poor baby. But they continue to grow in size and love every day!
