A Sweet Little Ballerina

Well I have been trying to take some pictures of "little miss" for about the last month but with the holidays and all I just kept pushing it aside. So today was the day! The sun was shining outside and lighting up our front room just enough that I still could use natural light.


Some Ballet Terms...just for fun!

Jete : A jump from one foot to the other: a 'thrown' step, of which there are many varieties. A grand jete is a big thrown step.

Plie : Bending the legs: every ballet class starts with plies in all five positions to loosen muscles and promote elasticity. Good plie gives impetus for jumps and also helps to cushion a landing.
Arabesque : Position in which the dancer stands on one leg with the other extended behind. The arms may be in various positions but are always arranged to form a harmonious line.

Happy New Year!

2009

A New Years Resolution? Lets see dare I say...OK fine I want to spend more quality time with my family ..I know silly coming from a stay at home mom, but I think having this time with my kids has been taken advantage of, I plan to make the best of ONE hour a week and play a board game with my kids and husband no phone...no TV ...NO INTERRUPTIONS. I also want to learn something new, my choice still is photography I want to take another class and become more comfortable with my camera, I want to have a date night once a month with my husband where we don't go out we stay home and make dinner together watch a movie in front of the fireplace, or go on a bike ride to the park for a picnic, I also of course want all the typical stuff too: get in better shape, get all finances in order, get more organized, sell our house buy a new one, make sure all friends and family members are happy and healthy, and be happy and healthy myself!

So here's to all of you....
Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right and remember the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Christmas oh christmas

Cookie time...

Food for Rudolph...
Christmas Dress-up

Christmas was great the kids got everything they wanted and more, E wanted the wii and star wars and Baby girl wanted a baby that grows teeth and a nursery for her baby. The husband and I agreed we both wanted a new Treadmill. Our holiday activities kept us busy, busy from parties to shopping to the annual holiday movie, cookie frosting, and yes even Reindeer feeding...Ho ho ho hope everyone had a fun filled family cherished holiday...

"E" in all his glory...

"E" was baptized and confirmed a member of the church on Saturday December 6Th by non only than "uncle Allan" whom we think was sent here to be our "angel of light" because without him I truly think we would be lost in the shadows....I have never seen my son look so grown up until I saw him come up out of the water and smile like he has never smiled before...talk about a proud mama! We concluded our day by taking the kids to the Salt Lake Temple to admire the lights and peace that you feel just being on the grounds....




Jesus made saving repentance possible and He made baptism meaningful." — John H. Groberg, "The Lord's Wind," Ensign, November 1993, p. 26
