Hi Everyone,
I have to give the value lesson in Young Women next month. The topic is leadership. Does anyone have any ideas? Fun stories? Cute ideas for handouts? Thanks!

Faith had dress rehersal tonight for her ballet performance on Friday. They are dancing to the song "Under the Sea". That's why they look like little Mermaids.

See this complicated move??? Well, they NEVER fall down. Soooo...when the little girl next to Faith fell, Faith didn't know what to do....so she she kept hanging on to her leg!! AND SHE WOULDN'T LET GO! The poor thing is down on the ground with Faith holding her leg in the air!

Life doesn't get much better than this :)

Don't let them fool you.....Faith threw sand in Elyse's eyes less than 20 seconds after this photo! Crazy kids!

Elyse had a golf lesson on Saturday and absolutely LOVED it. Looks like she's going to be at the golf course with her dad this summer!

Who says you can't swim and eat lunch at the same time?

Jason was playing with his RC car when Faith got out of the tub. So cute!

My little Cat in the Hat.

It took about 20 minutes but we finally got the gum out of her hair. We saturated her bangs in peanut butter and olive oil!

Elyse had the cutest math project. She had to estimate what it would cost to make a meal and then go to the store and buy the ingredients. She decided to make risotto with french bread. She had a $20.00 budget and only spent about $14.50. Lucky for her I had some coupons for $0.99 butter and a free soda!

Does anyone know of any good photoshop Sepia actions? I took some pictures of 4th graders in old time clothes and they they need them in sepia. Thanks :)

I was totally going to mock Faith again for her wardrobe choice but she sat in her princess chair and gave me a big smile!

Faith has gone in a new direction with her clothing style.

Emily says she looks like Joy from the TV show My Name is Earl. I think she my be right!!

Elyse counting her money from the tooth fairy!
You can barely tell where she lost her tooth becuase the new tooth is 1/2 way in!!

Note to self....don't try to take a photo of an RC car coming at you. It might hit you and leave a big bruise on your leg. I'll post the bruise tomorrow :)

She's almost done with her times tables!!! I can't help her anymore because she's on her 12's. Looks like she'll have to study over the phone with Uncle Josh!

Good thing you're allowed to miss one and still pass becuase I found an error in the bottom row.

It's official - my kid is a dork!
She found the little hat they gave her in the hospital when she was born and has worn it all morning long.

Okay - something weird is happening to my color when I post on livejournal. Her cheeks WERE red.
