The girls dance recital

There are 2 different dances in this clip, the first is thumbelina, Saileen and Kenna are on the left until they do the ring around the rosie part then kenna comes back one spot to the right.

The second dance is Saileen's dance she is the furthest to the left.

There is one part where all the girls line up in 2 lines on the left of the stage then it seems like they all get confused. The little girl wandering around is supposed to go underneath the arch they made, but she dosen't go through and it throws all the other little girls for a loop. Saileen was so confused as to why she didn't do it right. She is my little perfectionist, what can I say.

It was cute to see them in their little costumes dancing on stage. They loved it!!!

UMM....UMM....Good!!

I have never had too much luck making wheat bread. I think it is my house or something. My mom makes beautiful bread every time. I use the same recipe and it doesn't quite turn out like hers does.

Kind of like pancakes...but I won't get into that.

So I have ventured this summer to work on my bread making skills.This was my batch for today.

Looks pretty nice...

Did I really make that?

I also found a recipe for a Chicken dumpling thing. It used whole wheat for the dumplings and it VERY Delicious. I was very happy with how it turned out. I will definitely make that one again. So my baking adventures turned out on a good note today. I will take a deep breath and savour the moment. Until I have to think of something to make for the next meal.

The results of having blood drawn...

So I had to have some blood tests done a week or so ago and the lady said she was going to have to take a lot of blood. 7 vials she said. She told me it would bruise.....

I had no idea what I was in for

This is what it looked like 5 days after I had my blood drawn.

This was yesterday. I am begining to wonder if this thing is ever going to heal. It has been over a week and it still looks horrible. It looks like I have been abused or something.

Saratoga SPLASH!!!

A picture is worth a thousand words, and this picture of Kenna says it all!

We went to the Saratoga Splash event because Saileen's Ballet calss was performinig there.

We showed up and it was cloudy but not too bad. After being there 20 or 30 minutes it started to rain....and rain.....and then rain harder.....so the umbrealla wasn't cutting it any more so we headed for cover. After began to get very cold and smart as we were, not all of us brought jackets. So I grabbed 2 of my kids and Saileen ran as fast as we could to the car. We waited for a minute to see if it would blow over...but it didn't. Kenna was crying and said "I want to go home!!" So when the lightning and thunder started. We called it a day and went home.

When it was named Saratoga Splash, I didn't think they meant literally!

The cat is out of the bag!!

Yes it is true.....we are expecting our 4th baby. I am only 8 weeks along so we have a ways to go. We are due in January, so this will be our 1st winter baby!
