Kylie the Cutie

Kylie was ready to party with her cousins!

She really DID like the ice cream... it was just so COLD!

Um, could someone please wipe my face?

Lexi's B-Day Pics

Lexi and her friend, Jenna... I mean Hannah Montana #1 and #2.

Such a cute little diva!!!

Yes, her brownies ARE half gone... I forgot to do the candles and the singing!!! Oh my stars, pregnant brain strikes again!

The WoRsT blogger EvEr!!!

It's ME!!! I win the award! Every single day that has passed I have suffered from the looming guilt of having an out of date blog. Serious.
So much yet so little has happened in the last week or two and I've really just been running around like a chicken with my head cut off! Work has been SO crazy, with school winding up and fundraisers being completed, and we are planning a huge recognition event for the Foster Grandparents (the theme is "A night at the Oscar's") in early May... and I am still not feeling super duper great. Hang on, I need a tissue! I am feeling so sorry for myself! =-)
The girls are... well... the girls. Lexi turned the big 09 on the 9th. We didn't celebrate her "big" day until Friday. She had a sleepover with her BFF, Jenna (she is a lovely little girl and is welcome back at my house anytime... weird, huh?) and Aunt Tiffy and the fam came over and we had a b-day dinner and brownies and icecream... I even let the kids eat in the living room so they could watch Waterhorse (best movie I've seen in ages, by the way). She said it was the best party ever... hang on a second! Even better than the princess cake party last year, or the invite ALL the girls in your class pizza party from 2 years ago?! Sweet sauce! Less work for me!
Griffin (mostly Justin) has decided she is going to be the next big soccer star. Especially when she saw the pink cleats and pink shin guards and pink socks! Oh, and the pink soccer balls... could life get any better than that?! Couldn't be!
They had yet another dance competition a couple weeks ago in Idaho Falls. Sorry, no pics. There was no camera or video allowed at this one. How dumb is that! Anywho- the girls were amazing, as always! Yes, I am trying to learn to be humble about their awesome-ness... I suck at humbleness, apparently. Lexi's team got second and third places in their dances. They did great! They had super tough, older competition, so we are very proud that they held their own against the big girls! Griffin's little princess team did great, too! They got first place in both of their dances! Whoo-hoo! Griffin says its cause she does "facials" (blows kisses and winks) at the judges. I think she may have a point. It's really the funniest thing ever.
Also, Lexi has decided that she will be preforming a solo on May 2 (I think) at the last dance competition of the year in Montpelier. She is doing a hip hop style dance and is working her little hiney off. She is going to rock! =-)
So, now you know whats going on in our little world and I've blogged your ears off and my thumbs off (I'm bloging from my phone, so this takes WAY longer than it should).
Oh, forgot to tell you one more thing... The deputy is doing great! He has been helping so much with running the girlies all over creation so I can take a nap, or fixing dinner... so I can take a nap! =-) He is such a great hubby! Thanks mom, for raising such an amazing man!

Griffin's most exciting moment EVER!

We all know what a funny, funny girl Griffin is... Well when we went to the dentist last month she begged him to do x-rays, (she was not due for them, so this would mean I would have to pay for them out of pocket... which I did.) so she could see what teeth she should be concentrating her wiggling efforts on. Dr. Neff thought this was super funny so he granted her wish and pointed out the first "victim". She was off on a tooth wiggling frenzy! For the last month every time I turn around that child has had her hand in her mouth (EW! Germs.) trying to get that darn tooth out. Well, Sunday morning was THE BIG DAY!!! As soon as Justin got out of bed she attacked him with a napkin in hand and informed him "It's time!" Like she was in labor or something. So anyway, here are the events as they occured, in pictures.

She was a champ! No tears. She actually didn't even realize that Justin had pulled it out. She woke us up at 5:30 Monday morning to tell us the tooth fairy had come to visit her. Then she was SO excited she wiggled and talked till my alarm went off at 6:15. She is already working on the next victim.

Such a Slacker!!!

Sorry!I know my blogging skills have been severly missed this past week... It just seems that I had forgotten how much time and energy and (this is gross) throw-up it takes to be pregnant! All I ever want to do is nap. And snack. And then maybe nap again. SO, please be patient with me, I will try to do better!
