Annie

Last Monday we took the girls to see the Broadway version of Annie. The traveling Broadway does several shows a year here, and Annie was one we wanted to see. The girls were very excited. The have also been dying to use their "Book It" pizza certificates. So the night started out with a little Pizza Hut and ended with Annie. As we were walking in, Bay said "we are going to be the nicest looking people at Pizza Hut" even she noticed we were a little over dressed for the Hut, but it worked out fine. They fit right in once we got to the theatre, there were tons of little girls in dresses excited to see Annie. My camera battery died after 3 pictures so all I got was them holding their programs, but at least we captured some memories.





Not much else has been going on here, my parents came to town last weekend to watch one of Bailey's soccer games. She scored a goal so hopefully that made it worth the trip. Other than that we have just been moving stuff around trying to make room for the baby. I am so ready to be done, but we have a lot going on before he gets here so I guess I should just bide my time.

Water School


Bailey has really been into playing school lately. It was magnified when her cousin Allie was here and she could have more than one student. Earlier in the weak Bailey told Ellie to come to her water school. I wasn't really sure what this entailed, but it ended up being fine, no mess. Just Bay talking about water to Ellie in the bathroom. She filled up the sink and started to teach her stuff that she knew about water. Yesterday Bay wanted to play water school again and Ellie was excited about it too. Bay got the sink filled up and called in her pupil I was also in the bathroom (refilling the once again empty toilet paper roll), when the water class started. Bailey asked Ellie to remember what they had talked about last time, asking her what form was the water in, Ellie replied liquid. I was impressed and wanted to keep listening to them play. So I started to dust off this little stand and plant that I have in the bathroom, it needed to be done and was a good reason to hang around without looking like I am listening. After a few minutes Ellie asked me what I was doing, but before I could answer Bailey said, "oh she's just our janitor......" yep that pretty much sums me up!!

Bull Riding/Cousins/Soccer/and Conference.........

These were the some of the events we enjoyed this past weekend. Thursday night we went the PBR (Professional Bull Riding) with a few of our friends. We had a great time. I would say that this totally proves that we live in Idaho, but we went to it when we lived in Vegas too, I guess we just find it entertaining! It was a fun night, my pregnancy brain did get the best of me when I totally overpaid my babysitter....oh well she is a great girl!!! Friday Matt and Jill came to visit, the girls were so excited to play with their cousins. We hardly saw the 3 girls all weekend, they wanted Allie to stay for 100 weeks. They had lots of fun putting together all of these puzzles.
Bailey also had her first game of the spring soccer season. They seem to have a good team. Bailey played a few different positions and enjoyed all of them, even goalie. She did a great job, its fun to watch her play. I look forward to the rest of her games.

I also enjoyed it being conference weekend. I love listening to all of the great talks. It always makes me want to be better. I look forward to reading some of them again. I'm not going to lie, I love being able to stay home and enjoy it too. 3 hours of church on those hard chairs is not my favorite these days, so being uplifted from my couch (even though its ugly) is quite enjoyable.
