Kamaile's first dance recital

Going to dance class has been the highlight of Maile's week for the past 5 months and Friday was the big dance recital. I was curious to see how she'd do in front of a crowd. From the moment I put her new tutu on she was ready to put on a show. She did great and had so much fun performing for everyone. It was just a small audience in the basement where they practice, so I think that helped. I couldn't help but love every minute of it and I was grinnning ear to ear the entire time. I can't believe she's old enough to do this kind of stuff, but I'm sure this is just the beginning of many more performances. I know I over did it with the pictures but I just couldn't narrow it down.




The cute little bumble bee dance class, a group picture was basically impossible, I think these were the best smiles Jane and Maile had.

Jumping on the tramp after dance class for Maile and during dance class for Emmy became routine.






This recital got me all the more excited to have another little girl.

Border Patrol

People always wonder about Aaron's job so this might answer some questions. for ya'll.

Gotta love it!

Well, I must say even though I'm still missing family and friends in Utah I most definitely don't miss the cold. True Christmas didn't quite feel like Christmas without the snow and I actually thought for a minute that I missed the cold and snow. Then comes January when in Utah I tend to feel a bit depressed because I'm inside way too much. This January I'm loving the weather, it has been in the 70-80's the past 2 weeks, so we continue to swim, have picknicks, go on bike rides, and play at the park. No complaints here, although I still get homesick for everyone. Maybe ya'll should come down here, just look what you could be enjoying..........

Our neighbor who is a photographer took these great pictures, I love 'em.





I love this picture because Maile's little bum cheeks are always hanging out, usually worse than this, but when you're a kid you don't care. That's about the only time in your life when it actually looks cute.






This is how you can usually find Emmy after 1/2 hour of swimming - wrapped up in her towel with her thumb in.

It's officially another girl!!

I already spread the word to most of you that we're probably having another girl because I had an ultrasound at week 14, but it still didn't seem a for sure thing cause it was so early. We just had another ultrasound this past week and the result is still the same............GIRL!!! We are totally excited! true we would love a boy eventually, but I can't help but just picture our 3 little girls dressing up and having tea parties. Just look how much fun 3 little girls can have.


Girls just wanna have fun!!!
Maile and Emmy love getting together with the neighbor girls like Nia.
