Lately

September is about to end.  It's been a good month, but busy as always. 

 On September 11 we were encouraged to wear red, white and blue! These 2 dressed up. (Jillian did too, but she has PE first period so she was in her gym clothes.)

Jillian is enjoying dance! She is LOVING her pointe shoes. She is doing a great job.

Kennedy works hard with her art. She drew this cute little dog for one of Tony's co-workers who had just lost her dog.

During our 3 day weekend, Tony and the older girls drove to Springtown. Josie and I had a "girls weekend" at home. Oh, and she did have a dentist appointment. It was a little traumatic for her, but she had no cavities.

On the road!

Banks and Chase both had birthdays ....so of course a party too!

So much fun!

Other news:
Kaitlyn is now on the praise band at school. She plays the keyboard during chapel.

Jillian tried out for the play, Elf, and she is excited about her role! 

Kennedy runs the sound during chapel!  So proud of all my girls!

School happenings, wedding fun and more

School is going well, considering the craziness of the world around us! Josie loves school and she wore her chapel uniform for the first time this week. I had to get a picture of the cuteness. My last baby to wear this uniform! 

Each day I have to zoom with my distance learners in the morning and then again in the middle of the day. I wanted to capture "my look" while I'm distance teaching. :)

Who could imagine I would be wearing a headset to teach Kindergarten?

Josie had an "All about Me project and I wanted to remember what she put and drew so I took pictures. I love her 5 year old answers.

She had fun drawing pink flowers and hearts!

Yup! Her two favorites...mac and cheese and ice cream!

This one cracked me up. She wants to be a "horse rider" when she grows up!

She loves horses!

Her favorite things to do include: swinging, dancing and anything Frozen!

Josie continues to love dance class! :)

We went to the wedding of Katie Dibble last weekend. It was Josie's first time ever and it had been a loooong time since the older girls have been to a wedding as well. 

Daddy/daughter dance (this one danced with him)

The girls did get on the dance floor for a picture with Tony though!

Pretty twins!

Kennedy and Kaitlyn got together with Ava and Payton for lunch recently. They don't see Ava at school because she is doing school online.

Jillian's pointe shoes!

 Last week Jillian got promoted to pointe in her dance class. She is the first one in her studio to do this! Tony was there that night to get the good news and Kalette posted on facebook. 

Mrs. Emily (her dance teacher) and Jillian on promotion day!

Tony got in on the celebration!

We had to make a special trip to a dance store to get her shoes. We had a 12:30 appointment and it took about an hour to get fitted! She enjoyed every second!

Getting fitted!

She had to try many different sizes and brands.

Look at her on her toes!

What a big day!!!! So excited to see her dancing on pointe!
