Breanna's birthday

Breanna turned 5. We had a princess party for her and had a surprise guest come to visit...her favorite princess, Belle. We had a makeover for the kids, put glitter on their face, painted their fingernails. Belle played cute games with them and we took a picture of them with her.

I am not going to like it when she goes to Kindergarten. She and I do everything together. She is my helper and is extremely nuturing. She wakes up in the morning and is ready to help mom. It is not uncommon for her to say "Mom, what can I do for you today? Can I clean the bathrooms or dust or I know, how about both!" I love that girl!

Brad received his Star Advancement in Scouts last month. He is well on his way to earn his Eagle. His leaders think he will get it before he is 14. I love scouting. It is such a good program and we really have enjoyed it. We have so many options here with Pow Wows and Scout camps. It's a great accomplishment. Way to go Brad!

Go Vikings!

One of the Young Women in my ward is a cheerleader and told me about this great fundraiser for her. I usually get recruited for fundraisers because I am in Young Women's and am a succor for helping out my YW but this one I really liked! The girls went for 3 days and learned cheers and a routine. They performed during halftime during the last PG game. My girls loved being with the cheerleaders. Not sure if they have a future in it but they were so cute!

Lost teeth and special award

Kailene lost her first tooth at the end of January and 2 weeks later lost her second tooth. She wouldn't eat all day because her tooth hurt. Paul used the floss method and out popped the tooth. She said it didn't even hurt. I do not do well with lost teeth. Even as a little girl, I hated losing teeth and waited until they were hanging by a thread. It sends chills down my spine to see loose teeth, especially when they are playing with them with their tongue. Gross! I took some pictures but would rather not post them. They give me the creeps.

Kailene got an award at school for Curiosity and Creativity. Her teacher said for "always doing her best work and being kind to everyone". Kailene loves school and is already reading at a 3rd grade level (she is only in 1st grade). She loves to read. She is a good friend and always includes everyone. I just wish she would transfer that positive energy home when she is with her little sister. Good job, Kailene!
