Tiny Dancer

Today was Markessa's first dance recital. She was absolutely darling. Yes they are all doing different moves at the same time, but that is what made it so entertaining.
One little girl ran off crying and when she came back Markessa tried to give her a hug, but her friend didn't want one, so she gave her friend on the other side a hug. She is without a doubt born to dance.

The Happiest Place on Earth!! Woohoo!!

Still Happy

A Bugs Life

It was so fun to take the kids to Disneyland. We all had so much fun - I couldn't have asked for a better vacation. My mom and I drove (and I was having some serious detour, taking the wrong path, heading in the wrong direction, selecting the wrong freeway, getting off the wrong exit , issues - and I am being really nice to myself.) Good thing I get over 415 miles on my tank of gas. Great laughs. We missed the beach, but we went to Disneyland three days in a row and we nearly saw and did everything. The kids loved the hot tub and just playing at the hotel. Here are some pictures of the fun.

Quote of the Day

I love Markessa's little funny statements, so I started calling them the "Quote of the Day." The other day on the way to school I decided to sing children songs to the kids, I used to only listen to kid music in the car when Markessa was little, so I was feeling bad for Grady. Anyway this is what Markessa had to say about it. "Mom I think you can get sick from singing too many songs." I guess that was a good way of saying STOP SINGING MOM! Right? Well it's not going to happen. I can't make it through a single day with out at least a little ditty coming out.

Poor Kitty

So I killed a cat last night and I had no idea what I hit, so I turned around and drove by. Both kids were crying in the car and I didn't know what to do so, I just went home. Well, Markessa was clearly upset about the white kitty, but today in our morning prayer she said, "Please bless Jesus will take care of the white kitty." I love her little prayers so much, they make me feel better about killing things.
