KRISTY IS 30!

Kristy surprised me by taking a picture of herself when she got ahold of my camera - so I thought I would surprise her and post it on my blog. (Kristy, I would not have posted it if I didn't think you looked good in the picture)

ALADDIN JR.

This week has been the school musical at Mike and Matt's school. It is one of my favorite things of the year. For the last three years Matt has had a leading part. Now that Mike is at the school he could participate too. I think Matt had a lot more fun this year having his brother in the play with him. Hopefully, if I get Bron's variance, Bron can join them next year. This year they did Aladdin Jr. Much to my surprise they cast Matt as Jafar. This was totally shocking to me as I see him more as a Prince Charming type than the villain. He did great and had an awesome wicked laugh. He also had several singing solo's and did a great job. Mike was one of the guards. His name was Benjamin. He had several speaking lines and loved doing his part. They both thought it was especially funny when Jafar calls the guards nincompoops.

The play was double cast. On their off night they were magical servants. They had fun doing this part also - as they got to sing and dance with the chorus. There were over 180 kids in the play and about 40 of them got to perform in both nights. Matt and Mike were glad to be chosen for these parts.

Kalia Update

. . . yeah . . . so I didn't do too well with my weekly, or daily picture posts of Kalia. I think it has been at least two months since my last picture post. Here are some new ones of her.
She seemed to enjoy her Johnny-Jumper for about five minutes one day, and never wanted to use it again. Atleast we got a happy picture from the one time.

This is the one and only outfit that Loren has bought for Kalia. I should have shown more of the shirt. The hoodie is one of those really short hoodies and then there is a long white tank under it.

Notice the piggies in her hair. This was a month or so ago. It is a little easier now to put the piggies in her hair. Last time she didn't even cry.

Our little leprechaun . . .

Kalia is getting more fun every day. The boys just adore her and will run to her crib first thing in the morning to look at her. She always kicks and smiles big when we get her out of bed. She can now say da-da-da-da, she loves to spit, wrinkle her nose and is starting to love to scream (not an angry scream, just a "look I can make noise" scream) hopefully the screaming phase will not last long. We think she will be crawling by the middle of April. We will see. . .
