Little Ballerina

McKenna and I have no set routine to what we do with our time while Caleb is in school. One day last week though, she decided she wanted to wear her ballerina tutu =) Neither she, nor Caleb, are usually ones for playing dress-up, so I decided to have a photo shoot while she was all decked out. Enjoy!!

Jump Rope for Heart


Last week, McKenna and I got to go participate with Caleb in his gym class. It was Jump Rope for Heart day and they invited all of the family to come and join in the fun. We had a blast!! All of the kids in Caleb's class love to see McKenna. The girls all become "little mommies" to her...it is soooo cute! She just has so much fun being with Caleb and the other kids, she feels like a one of the big kids.

Caleb has really improved in his jumping and jump roping skills and it was fun to get to watch him. After they jump roped, they did stretching and other exercises, then played "Jump the River." We all had so much fun, it actually made me miss teaching PE =) Here are a few pictures of our fun day:




Young Love

Well, it has happened...my little Caleb has had his heart captivated by a sweet little girl...already! He has been talking about Brianna since the beginning of the year. She has always been a really sweet friend. She stood up for him at the very beginning of the year when some other little girl said she didn't like him (how could you not like Caleb?? She just didn't know him yet, because they're friends now=)). Anyway, when we were sitting down to make out Caleb's valentine's for the big party, he informed me that he wanted to make a "special" Valentine for Brianna. So, he stamped and drew some pictures and wrote, "Brianna, will you be my Valentine?" THEN he asked me what that meant. I felt it was a little early for explaining about "liking someone." So, I asked what he meant when he wrote it. He told me that he just wondered if she'd be his friend forever...sounded perfect to me! =)

Here is a picture of Caleb and McKenna with some of their friends (from left to right Kendall, Brianna, Avery, McKenna, Trey, and Caleb). Sorry the picture is kind of far...they were all watching a movie on the couch =)
