3rd Grade Patriotic Program

Right before the big move was the patriotic program for the 3rd grade. It was a lot of fun.

It was hard seeing all of their friends' parents for the last time though. The girls had some really great friends-good kids-and it was hard to leave them. 

It was a good time to get some pictures with their teachers and friends that they miss dearly.

Madi and Mrs. Cates.

Saige, Madi, and Ashley or Emma (still can't tell them apapt!)

And Gianna wanted to join in too (Cheyenne's sister)

I had a better copy of the program somewhere but I can't find it but I wanted to include this because Saige had a small speaking part. Funny story-after the program Madi came up to me very upset. She said, "Every time I looked down at you, you weren't watching me. It's because I didn't have a speaking part isn't it?" If she hadn't been so upset I would have burst out laughing. She was upset that Saige got a part and she didn't. She is very sensitive sometimes. 

February 2014 haircut

Wow. Dalton needed a haircut BAD! And since we don't live by Stef or Kenzie I decided it was time to take him to the local super cuts.

Syd needed her bangs trimmed too.

They did pretty good sitting still. They were very excited that their prize was a sucker.

Look MUCH better:)

Moving: House For Sale:(

I'm so far behind-like almost an entire year behind and this post is the reason why. I've tried to do it a hundred times and I just can't. I'm still SO sad about it. In January we decided to move. To Mountain Home Idaho. And although it was the best move for Brett's career it's not something I wanted. Bakersfield was home. It was the first time we had stayed anywhere for any significant amount of time. I loved our friends there, our home, our ward, the weather (in the winter), and our pool in the summer, the girls friends and school, etc. It was so hard to leave and I'm still a bit devastated by it. But in order to get passed this post so I can try to catch up, here it is. Our first home. For sale. I can't even put the pictures in order because that would mean I have to look at them and I'm not quite ready to do that yet. Still too fresh of a wound.
