Cinderella

Kaylee got invited to a friend's birthday party, a princess part where there was a very special guest that arrived.  It was her friend Jaslene's birthday.  All the little girls wore princess dresses over their clothes. Kaylee wore a Repunzel dress.  All of a sudden there was a knock at the door and Cinderella appeared, complete with her gown, gloves, tiara and glass slippers.  The little girls all were in awe at this beautiful princess.  They were asking her funny questions about her mean sisters and step mom and about the pumpkin carriage.  She had a diamond nose ring in her nose and of course all the little girls were so curious about that:).  It was pretty funny.  Cinderella pampered the little princesses with nail polish and eye shadow. It was a fun birthday party Kaylee will not forget!!

Upwards Basketball

Jaxton and Cooper both played on an Upward Basketball league this winter.  It was a significant year for both because they really learned a lot!  This was Coopers second year playing. He's always been too small to make any baskets and went the entire season last year without scoring any points. He was ok with that last year. This year hectored so hard.  Then on one particular game he scored 3 baskets in a row!!!  He was on Cloud 9 and was so proud of himself!! Afterward the coach asked him what he had eaten for breakfast, and since the games are so early in the morning, he had had only time enough to shove down a piece of toast and a package of fruit snacks.  So the coach told his team to make sure they all atev1 piece of toast and fruit snacks for the next game.  Cooper truly believed it was what he had eaten and made sure to save a package of fruit snacks each Saturday. :)

This was Jaxtons first experience with Basketball as he'd never had any interest before.  His body is bigger and stronger and capable now to make baskets. So he really excelled in learning how to shoot and how to block.  More than anything, he really enjoyed being on the 1st grade team and spending time with his friends. 

To The Dentist!

It was Kaylee's first trip to the dentist this February.   We read "the dentist book" every night for days in preparation. She was nervous about it but excited at the same time.  In fact 6 months ago she got to watch her big brothers get their teeth cleaned and she was terrified. So preparation was key in order for her to have a good experience for her first time. We packed a pair of sunglasses to wear under the light and she looked forward to getting her own new toothbrush and a prize from the prize drawer when it was done. 

As we arrived and it was her turn, her

nerves overcame her. She was very worried. The dental assistants were so wonderful with her and patient, and let her touch and see all the tools and equipment. She stopped crying and put her glasses on and realized that it all wasn't so bad, and she did great!  She was so proud after that to have gone to the dentist and felt confident about her experience.  She was a doll in that big old chair with her sunglasses on:)
