LOST

Okay so if anyones a fan like I am of Lost we've been waiting 8 months and finally the season premiere airs tonight! This is my favorite show on television. I would urge anyone who has not see it to rent the first 3 seasons and watch them. You'll get sucked in and won't be able to stop. It's that good! So to all my Lost friends...happy watching tonight!

Little Miss Independent!

So our daily routine for preschool normally is walk Lexi into her class, make sure she gets her name tag, help her put her backpack and jacket away, and then proceed to tell her I'll miss her, give her a hug and kiss and say, "have fun!" Well, today was different. We went to her classroom and she looked up at me gave me my hug and kiss and proceeded to walk into her class by herself. She looked up at me and said she doesn't need help and didn't want me to come in her classroom with her. I knew the day would come that she would want me to drop her off without coming in, I just didn't think it would be when she was so young. I guess I should appreciate her independence and be glad that she is happy and loving school!

Spinning & Twirling

So Lexi has been taking dance at Dance Connection Too in Gilbert for 5 months now. Just recently they had a visitors day and her Grandpa and Grandma Jensen came to watch all that she's learned. She absolutely loves dance and has made many new friends. Her class includes 20 min. of ballet, 20 min. of tap, and 20 min. of tumbling. She is learning a lot and is always asking,"Do I have dance today?" I have to always remind her that we only have it once a week. I hope she continues to have the enthusiasm she has now in the future.

Here she is practicing her Tendu with her teacher Ms. Christy

Here she is yawning (or at least trying to yawn)

Isn't she such a cute ballerina? She's sitting with her friend Haley

After class they all get a coloring paper and a treat

They also get a stamp on their hand which they all love.

Merry Christmas!

Here's our photos from Christmas. The pictures with the kids in their Christmas outfits are from Sunday. Lexi was so excited to wear her Christmas dress, which came with a matching dress for her doll. On Christmas eve we started the tradition of letting the kids open one gift, which is pajamas. They were both very excited about them. On Christmas we had such a fun time. We did our own thing at our house in the morning. We then went to Clint's parents in the late morning to early afternoon, and spent the rest of the day at my parents house. It was such a fun day for all of us. Thanks to everyone for making our Christmas so special this year! I loved seeing Lexi and Caden get so excited about their gifts. Caden was really into opening everything he got this year too. We had a very Merry Christmas and hope you did too!

Oh could it be...

Snow! Yes, in our own backyard in Chandler. Thanks to Clint's parents the kids had a blast throwing snow balls at eachother the other night. Clint's dad had a job he had to go to Flagstaff for and brought back some coolers full of snow for the grandkids. Lexi and Caden had a lot of fun. Caden kept holding his hands up because they were so cold. It was his first time experiencing snow. Grandma Albright even tried to build a miniture snowman with Lexi. So fun!

Standage Christmas Party!

Last night we went to our annual Standage Christmas Party (Clint's mom's family). It was at the Sirrine's house and the kids had a lot of fun. Clint's uncle is a collector of trains and has built a huge track outside for his trains. Both Caden and Lexi loved watching and chasing the trains around. There was also a special "surprise", Santa showed up. Lexi was so excited and the first one to jump on his knee and have a chat with him. Caden also sat on Santa's lap and actually was very intrigued by him. He wanted to touch his beard and soft fluffy clothes. It was fun to see him happy instead of screaming at the top of his lungs like last time. It's always fun to see all the family whom we usually only see once a year at this party.

Food or Sleep???

So the other day I gave Caden his lunch and was fixing my own in the kitchen. When I walked back in the dining room Caden was fast asleep. I thought it was too cute! He was right in the middle of eating and conked out. However it happens, you gotta love a sleeping Baby!
