"Love" Thoughts, By an 8 year old

We have a jar filled with "Love" thoughts for the month of February, courtesy of my 8 year old. Today's thought, "Even though your stuffed animals aren't real, you should love them too."

Piano Recital

Taylor and Rylee had a piano recital, called Marathon of Music, in October 2011. The kids could choose to wear their Halloween costume or not. Piano students from all over the valley played at the different malls in the area. The girls did a fantastic job. They played at a grand piano in an open courtyard with people walking by. It was pretty cool. At the end, Morgan asked if she could play a song that Rylee taught her. Mrs. Faler was so sweet and announced that she had a special number for everyone. Morgan, who has never taken piano, got up there and played the song, "Halloween" like a champ. Then she stood up, took her bow and came to sit down perfectly. Wowza! She is not afraid of anything! I love that Morgan has confidence in herself. I love that she is strong, and just does her own thing. I know it will serve her well in her life. I need to get this girl performing! No stage fright here!!

The girl's adorable teacher

Thanks for coming Gram!

Cute Morgie!

Finally got some smiles! Yay!

Cute Randoms of Kam

Who needs a mud run, when you've got black beans for lunch! Not as hard to do, and you get just as messy! It's so funny to see the change from my first child to my fourth. Taylor never, and still never likes to be dirty. Apparently, Kam doesn't share that same trait. The dirtier the better. Also, after four, I say, whatever makes 'em happiest! Ha ha!

Who says hand me downs aren't fantastic?!! We made a great discovery of the hot pink cowgirl boots that have made their way through all the girls now. Kamryn thinks they are fantastic!!!....most of the time!! They were a little big in these pics, but now she is fitting into them great! She even found a matching hot pink purse! Who doesn't like a great purse and some great boots! Sure makes me happy too!

And finally just some other cute, random pictures of my baby! I am still so in love with this girl! I'm glad that we get to hang out everyday! She is my little buddy!
