Everyone to the right...

So this one is to show how all the kids k-5 know what to do for every song. It was impressive. You could spend a year teaching dance to kids back at home and not have near the sincrinzation or half the moves these kids got. So this one I have to warn you BEN SCREAMS in it so PLEASE TURN YOUR VOLUME DOWN before you click on the play button. The whole day was rough. Paige and Ben were upset most of the time.
Also you should turn off the music that automaticly plays on my playlist on the right of the web page. Just push pause button before seeing any of these clips. I hope you enjoy.
I loved how as soon as they turned on a new song everyone would go wild and know the song and all start doing the same moves and singing the words. Including the kids in line going to class, the parents walking to their seats and the teachers. Wow.

dance

Here is a clip showing how they all seem to know the words.

So this post is purely to help my family get a better picture of things around here. I will probably erase it soon as I wouldn't want my kids on someone else blog. But Avery was invited to a school dance grades K-5. Some people asked what kids know how to dance at 5 years old. Well let me SHOW you what kids. It is very clear to me that these kids do and seriously most dance better then I do and they knew all the songs.
So for field day they had music and kids could go up to the stage and dance. So I was pretty amazed by the skills these kids had. My favorite was the tiny girl on the right in the dark dress but she is hard to see as she is dark and the background is dark I hope you can see her.
I will try to post some more if I can get them on with out too much work.

More on Memorial

Paige balancing on a branch. It was a cool branch that was stretched way wide. She asked me to put her up there.


The long road to the tomb of the unknown Soldier.


Justin teaching the kids about a monument. I had to take a picture as they were all sitting still it was really cute.


Ben's first ride on a motorcycle.

The kids view of the house

So when Benny and Mark were coming the kids thought they would get here after we all went to bed so they made signs and hung them around the house so they could find their way around. They made me smile so I thought I would post them. These are the important things they wanted Benny and Mark to know when they came in.

A PET!!

So Benny and Mark were in town and decided to get a pet for the kids.


Shopping...

Shopping...


Shopping, was almost as fun as getting a pet. Ok not quiet but it was fun to look.




Yep this was the fun find. The best was when all the kids but Ben wanted the rabbit to come to them and it just kept going after Ben he would squeal and try and get away from it.


Benny got the kids 2 cute bunnies. I am relieved we didn't get anything else, Payton insisted a Rat would be cool. NO WAY!! I think there is a mouse in the attic he can catch.
We are still working on a name that fits. The options are so far- thumper, chocolate(for the brown one), cotton, spot, spotty, rabby, bunny, benny, snowball, cocoa, flopsy, and peter.
Our only concern is if we got a boy and a girl.? Why were they in different pens? Well we will only boost our rabbit population in the area. Ha ha....

Just for fun

School Girls. Avery dressed Paige in her old uniform and so Paige thought she was going to school. Boy was she disappointed when she couldn't get on the bus. Soon enough baby, soon enough. Ben fell and cut his lip you can't see the cut inside. This is when it was half healed so it is hard to see anything. Sorry, it was bad. He fell doing some of his risky climbing stunts. Payton and Paige really wanted to do make up when they found some old makeup of mine. I decided I don't mind so much if Payton puts makeup on Paige or me so long as he didn't put it on himself. So for fun the other day that is what we did. Here is Paige's makeover. As you can tell she was really into lipstick. Oh yeah, that's nice.


Here is Payton at the t-ball clinic and draft. See if you can see him behind the coaches. He was so excited to be out there. I don't think we will have any probablem mixing himm up with the other player. He just kind of stands out.
