Too cute for words
I know I already did a ballet post, but I was just sent these pics and I HAD to include them - they may make my all-time favorite list. And I don't even like pink. But I just love these girls! Just don't look too closely at Jells' saggy, wrinkly old woman tights (they're like 3 sizes too big ... she'll grow into them, right?).

First Dance Recital
For months the girls have been taking dance lessons from a friend of ours in the ward who has always been into dance. There are 5 of them who dance together, and they love it.
This week was their first dance recital, which they have been very excited for for weeks.
We stuck a couple of highlights together here for your viewing pleasure. Sorry for the low quality--any higher and they took forever to load, or wouldn't load at all. But Meri and Jenelle are the ones closest to the camera, of course. In the finale, Meri was a step or two behind everyone throughout. Which wasn't a problem, for the most part. Until.
With the second bit, we just wanted to show you the curtsies. I hate to sell Jenelle short, because her curtsies are flawless--really, perfect form. But if you're only going to watch the video once, keep your eye on Meri for this part. She's developed a rather distinct curtsy that we can't get enough of. Hopefully you won't either.
And then, for family members or bored friends, we included the video of the entire recital. Enjoy!!!

My kids are SO weird
We have NO clue what the bear did to deserve this treatment!! Was he being preserved for future generations? Possibly a time capsule? Bottled bear meat? Solitary confinement? Science experiment?
Yes, we are totally failing.

What an insult ...
Cooper sent me this in an email to make sure he wouldn't forget to tell me when I got home from work:
The girls were fighting over who got to be the girl half of the
two-headed dragon on Dragon Tales, and I told them that if they kept
fighting I'd call them both boys.
About 10 minutes later they started arguing and I heard Jenelle say,
"Meri, I don't want to disagree. Remember what daddy said? If we
disagree, we'll both be boys."
Thought that was funny.
