Around the World in 80 Days

Emoree had to do a project for her english class. She was required to do a presentation on a book she read. She chose "Around the World in 80 Days" by Jules Verne. With her parents help she created this cake complete with cities to which the balloon traveled! She received a perfect score! A+! She then shared her project with the class. They thought it was delicious!

Esther's Skills

Our big girl is really starting to grow her personality. Watch her laugh and smile! We just can't get enough.

Three Months

Can you believe it has been three months already? Here is a picture of our darling little gal. She is now talking, laughing, smiling, and telling us all about life. We couldn't love her more if we tried. As for an update, send me an email or give me a call and I will fill you in on my recent conversation with the judge. . .

In the Pink

Shae had a battle with the monkey bars at her school yesterday. Unfortunately, the monkey bars won and Shae ended up with a greenstick fracture of her radius bone. She will have to wear her cast for the next 3-4 weeks. Luckily, the doctor said she would heal quickly. Luckily for us, I bought the gortex cast and it can get wet. Please send all well wishes via the blog. She would love to hear from you (phone calls, treats, checks, and cash are also accepted).

Esther Unplugged

Esther found one of her toys utterly hysterical this morning. Just had to get a picture of that face! Here she is . . . in mid-laugh!

Diaper Cake and a Shower

The sisters in my ward threw me a Baby Shower for Esther. It was great. Esther received tons of diapers, wipes, clothes, and even a diaper cake. That was Shae's favorite (I loved it too)!

Fairy Tale Ball

The Kindergarten classes at Shae's school celebrated the Fairy Tale Ball last week. All of the kindergarten children came dressed to the nines and prepared to dance! Yes, they were all taught how to do ballroom dancing and were told that they must dance with everyone. Shae thought this somewhat antiquated, but determined that princesses must dance with everyone as they are in charge of their kingdoms. What a politician!


Here she is with some of her classmates . . .

The Royal Castle -- all decked out!

Note: On the way into school that morning Shae noticed lots of girls in their princess costumes (i.e. Halloween costumes of Snow White, Cinderella, etc.). Shae took one look at them and looked at Dad and said, "I look so much better than they do." Our daughter, the fairest of them all. And most humble too!
