I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. I love this time of year, but I wish Colorado would make up its mind. We had a snow day yesterday, and now the temperature is in the 50s. CRAZY!
We are doing well. Warren is extremely busy getting everything finalized for building his new office and working on the basement. I am busy doing "mom" things, and the girls are busy with their activities.
Kaylee just started ice skating lessons, and is enjoying them. We will probably only do one session because she doesn't think it is as fun as skiing, gymnastics, or ballet. A couple of weeks ago at gymnastics, Kaylee did a back handspring and climbed the rope without knots all the way up to the ceiling. She was pretty excited about this accomplishment and wanted Waffles for dinner to celebrate. She is now working on landing a cartwheel on the balance beam, and doing a back walkover. She almost has a back walkover, and landed the cartwheel one legged this week. Luckily, the teacher was there to catch her. Kaylee is becoming quite the little teacher and loves to make up stories. She plays school with Nicole and Taylor all the time, and her classmates call her Miss Kaylee because she loves to get up in front of the class and teach.
Nicole started swim lessons this past week again and loves them. Her teacher told me Nicole never gets tired and could swim all day long. She swims back and forth on her kick board kicking as hard as she can. This week, she floated around the pool on her back for 25 seconds. She could have gone longer, but the teacher stopped her to move onto a different skill. Her teacher is a firefighter and has numerous tattoos. She asks about the tattoos all the time. Nicole still loves gymnastics and just enjoys being there. I am in the process of teaching Nicole the alphabet in sign language hoping this might help her with spelling by giving her visual cues to bring the words to her memory. She is picking up on the letters fast and has fun trying to get her fingers to do the right thing. BIG NEWS FOR NICOLE - SHE LEARNED HOW TO PUMP HER LEGS ON THE SWING. SHE CAN NOW DO HER FAVORITE THING ALL BY HERSELF. YAY!!
Taylor is my little buddy ALL DAY LONG. She is starting to give up that afternoon nap unless I happen to fall asleep with her. She loves gum, Cocoa, and carrying a purse with a million things in it. Right now, she has her Nemo blanket, 4 books, polly pockets, a phone, a pen and notepad, and her Mermaid doll in this tiny little purse. She takes it everywhere she goes!! Taylor is also my little singer. She sings all the time and I have no idea what she is singing, but she thinks she is pretty amazing. Taylor makes us laugh all day long, and there are not many dull moments around with this determined little girl.
Taylor fell asleep one afternoon after screaming for about 30 minutes. She was following me around screaming, so I put her on this chair for timeout and within a few minutes she cried her self to sleep. POOR LITTLE THING!!
For Spring Break, our family went skiing with another family from our ward. Kaylee got her own bed and was pretty excited about it. After she fell asleep, I found this note by her bed.
One of the nights during Spring Break, the girls made a fort in our bedroom. They loved it and played in it for hours.
Here are some pictures of Nicole practicing her sight words for school.
The letter "C"
Kaylee is always bundled up nice and warm during her ice skating lessons. It is freezing cold in this building.
Pat came out for a quick weekend trip and we went to see Mary Poppins. It was wonderful!!Hope everyone has a wonderful April. Enjoy the warmer temperatures.
Love ya-
Kim, Warren, and the Girls
