My Little Gymnast

Grandpa Pete made Annabelle a balance beam. Now she can practice the "valance beam" before she starts gymnastics.

Fun with Grandpa

The girls had lots of fun helping Grandpa plant potatoes and beans.

Annabelle dug holes and put the potatoes and bean seeds in them and then she covered them up. She also watered them to get them growing. She did enjoy digging her feet into the dirt.

Ariel found some tulips and played with those. She also enjoyed playing with the dirt and "helping" with the planting.

I love that my girls get to spend time with my grandma and grandpa.

What a beautiful afternoon we had being outside!

A Perfect 10

We signed Annabelle up for gymnastics for the summer. She is so excited and really I am too. I figured she would need some leotards so I looked online and they were pretty pricy. I remembered that my friend Shari had gotten her daughter's dance things at Bumblebee's. So this morning Annabelle and I headed out there to check out what they had. We found some great deals. She got 2 leotards; one was $3 and the other was $3.50. I will check back there in a few weeks because it would be nice for her to have a few to rotate through.

The leotards were a hit and she has been wearing them since we got home. She is currently sleeping in one right now.

Annabelle comes up with these moves all by herself. I think she is going to be a natural.

I think she will stay in gymanstics as long as she wants, but at least until she learns how to do a back walk over. This is an essential skill every girl must have. I did not have it and it held me back. I will now need to live through Annabelle is this area.

Ariel tried on the second leotard so we could see how it looked.

Girls Night

So I'm not sure I have left my girls at night to go hang out with friends. My friends from work were going to get together downtown and at the last minute I decided to join them. We had a fun time; it was nice to hang out with everybody outside of work.

Not my best picture, but it was dark and the flash was super bright

A Diva in the Making?

This is how Annabelle fell asleep last night.  

Tubby Time

Tubby time at our house is always very exciting. I never have to bribe or fight to get either Annabelle or Ariel in the tubby. I think it's because Annabelle gets a popsicle every time she takes a tubby (yes, anytime: morning, noon, or night) and Ariel gets to try a lick. I have also found that brushing teeth in the tubby works out great.

Princess Power

My sweet little girls love to play together. Annabelle loves to be a princess and now Ariel gets to be a princess too. When they grow up they are going to be police officers and fairies.
I am so glad they have each other. I love having sisters and I hope they will enjoy this special built in best friend that the Lord has blessed them with.
Take a look at the fun they had playing princessess together.
