Kailey's First Day of Ballet!

We have been potty training Kailey on & off for a few months. She is finally potty trained! YEAH! For the past few days no accidents soooo.. as we promised she got to go to Ballet! She was thrilled. She spent most of the class sticking her tongue out and doing spins... we thought at one point she would get kicked out.. but she didn't! :) She had a blast!

This photo really shows ashley & kailey as they are!

Ashley my perfect little ballerina &
Kailey my funny sweet girl who marches to her own beat!


As you can see.. she had to accessorize with her blankey & sunglasses...

HUGS!

ROAR! Ashley as a Cat, in her jazz outfit.

We had such a memorable & fun trip.

It was great hanging out with family...

I already miss SF & all of our family.

One last thought.. this trip could not have happened with out my handsome sweet hubby steve. With all my heart I thank you for pulling the slide show off brilliantly.. putting your whole heart into it, standing there scanning photos for an hour at target, selecting the photos to use, working on what music to use, editing each photo, timing and transitions.. and especially enduring my critique :). You are amazing... you support our family without a word, but with your whole heart. All my love goes to you my love.

Na Na Na a... Kailey singing in the car...

The Fires... can bring good too...

The fires in CA have been scary & devastating.. The air outside burns your lungs. But we have been staying safe & inside. We are connecting with all our friends whom have had to evacuate from their homes. God has given us such a nice week getting together with the Breese family. Our girls have so much fun together..

Sydney, Ashley & Samantha at Ruby's having lunch together.
They have all known each other since they were about 6 weeks old!

Gigi & Kailey new friends! I think this might be Kailey's first girlfriend. How fun is that!?

Ok Gigi is just super stylie & I had to include this because she makes us all laugh :)

Kailey says she is tinkerbell... Little tinkerbell, drew all over her sheets today with one of Ashley's markers! Why are the second ones so crazy!? & Why is it that I can never even get mad at her!? :) Kailey has been throwing tantrums every time we walk past the pantry.. because she knows there is food in there. And after a huge meal & dessert she asked for a banana.. I really don't know what to do! :) We just adore our funny little girl!

She Speaks!

A little Red Dress from Nana is all it took... for Ashley to talk. It was truly the most beautiful thing Steve & I have ever heard. I didn't even know how much I missed Ashley's voice until she spoke. It is definitely a day to celebrate! It is a little higher than before but I'm sure she'll be back to normal in no time at all! The worst is over & now our little girl is back! YEAH! We praise God for healing her and for giving us the gift of seeing her smile again!! TODAY is a wonderful day!!!

Sad 7 days...

We thought maybe Jana could make Ashley smile...

Or maybe some new princess posters from Auntie Chris...

Hmmm how can we get Ashley to smile & to talk?
