The outfits could not have been cuter. I thought Leah would be a little bit nervous in front of a jammed auditorium, but she was the star of the show. She did all of the moves correctly and didn't lose her place when she had to fix her slipper that came off. Maybe we will do dance again, but right now we are on summer break. <br /></span><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01887212821311069117noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3965703175226827946.post-67873575518823095892009-06-09T07:43:00.003-05:002009-06-16T07:40:03.114-05:00I'm back<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiky-FGMuuqT71I5qszqsHQ07I9YJKgw78lC4K7-QZQHb89HPvfkieAjtE3vv9Ui4PCckkgH4yfwp1i3X9aIXUPqJko-eO67WzFEp1cUntsVp8ygFVlbKYFdG0oX_4S4KicSaNq0FjIIbE/s1600-h/march-easter2009+495.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345309346357023522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiky-FGMuuqT71I5qszqsHQ07I9YJKgw78lC4K7-QZQHb89HPvfkieAjtE3vv9Ui4PCckkgH4yfwp1i3X9aIXUPqJko-eO67WzFEp1cUntsVp8ygFVlbKYFdG0oX_4S4KicSaNq0FjIIbE/s320/march-easter2009+495.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXPyalpRurFSXpzSnqcujp5U2C81gKkhnj_5xZ3zEwp7GGEEBlOG-sN2VSY9czztzBl-VVY7pFocWkM3y2GDpZ5k-7dd0vaIMRKNO6UWU4JQH6F-5Dh_a9TRFCR_YryZQBWrGoFsgqsAs/s1600-h/march-easter2009+507.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345309339784879522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXPyalpRurFSXpzSnqcujp5U2C81gKkhnj_5xZ3zEwp7GGEEBlOG-sN2VSY9czztzBl-VVY7pFocWkM3y2GDpZ5k-7dd0vaIMRKNO6UWU4JQH6F-5Dh_a9TRFCR_YryZQBWrGoFsgqsAs/s320/march-easter2009+507.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#ffffff;">So now that summer is here, I will be making time to blog again.

We are also so lucky that we all live so close, and we never have to choose who we will see for Christmas.</span></div></div></div><br /></div>Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01887212821311069117noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3965703175226827946.post-28953015672297779002009-01-06T07:35:00.003-06:002009-01-06T08:11:59.953-06:00Winter Wonderland<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvPz4v_1iIo-qyPAy1k37945k5PwI9fcuDRHzGi1yANbXiAt3ZHf6rbPKwykSRvDOzLnbcPOQ5WKa6z8k1MgwPNjWmWcrcgUOnLc9yoW0T2dRcjn3FBCKWGgvEKyCydDf6SacJAT_-x2k/s1600-h/christmastime+010.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288176239581850034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvPz4v_1iIo-qyPAy1k37945k5PwI9fcuDRHzGi1yANbXiAt3ZHf6rbPKwykSRvDOzLnbcPOQ5WKa6z8k1MgwPNjWmWcrcgUOnLc9yoW0T2dRcjn3FBCKWGgvEKyCydDf6SacJAT_-x2k/s320/christmastime+010.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZjOPtaiw3MLp9IP-b9mT_-62rO28XU2rjRir7fPX5aPLjtb9VGvlh5nO06Mvx8eXC2_WFOhmfWUqnd50MweKW6qrVfayu14NM_Jz6IHBC5L2LKLpo9AkcQHJ2V8anQC_5acgwZFLzaEE/s1600-h/christmastime+005.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288176232997066578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZjOPtaiw3MLp9IP-b9mT_-62rO28XU2rjRir7fPX5aPLjtb9VGvlh5nO06Mvx8eXC2_WFOhmfWUqnd50MweKW6qrVfayu14NM_Jz6IHBC5L2LKLpo9AkcQHJ2V8anQC_5acgwZFLzaEE/s320/christmastime+005.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ffffff;">We were so lucky to have a perfect snowfall before Christmas this year.

No one even complained about being cold. And when we got home, we all had some hot chocolate. I don't think the kids would let me get away without making hot chocolate after sledding!</span></div></div>Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01887212821311069117noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3965703175226827946.post-14916929515338254912009-01-06T07:21:00.003-06:002009-01-06T08:12:38.785-06:00Our First Chirstmas Celebration<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDN5GYcOjKwSQgUigBxmuqPUJrKOwjF0sqR3037HDkaxYciqinpBP0obHo7MwxIwniiHxx0HI-6nyE0Umwh-wZb4V1DExaXunBnqEjA9q4J7CCmqRdoYbVxcFi-49VrZJTI5UIdt9gPXE/s1600-h/cheerleadingplainfield&gunclub+053.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288173622303127346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDN5GYcOjKwSQgUigBxmuqPUJrKOwjF0sqR3037HDkaxYciqinpBP0obHo7MwxIwniiHxx0HI-6nyE0Umwh-wZb4V1DExaXunBnqEjA9q4J7CCmqRdoYbVxcFi-49VrZJTI5UIdt9gPXE/s320/cheerleadingplainfield&gunclub+053.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWihIHVsmTHsbWuZDuwnyWCSP-LnGIkzWDxOc_2xys-ZNWDcUUIN_PKzdU3X5RRUVMxG_0ARKPNEJ4-BTPitzsS-RZS61gNzMSr1LEWFR2Zph8f5wfQMXl93pTe7cr7LBIYDOSxpcX7us/s1600-h/cheerleadingplainfield&gunclub+049.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288173618399820130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWihIHVsmTHsbWuZDuwnyWCSP-LnGIkzWDxOc_2xys-ZNWDcUUIN_PKzdU3X5RRUVMxG_0ARKPNEJ4-BTPitzsS-RZS61gNzMSr1LEWFR2Zph8f5wfQMXl93pTe7cr7LBIYDOSxpcX7us/s320/cheerleadingplainfield&gunclub+049.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXpUGifN0zr_7jy0hUncOd__mVJy_lqKShgMmQew7B3FY-WQ3xRM6I0rR4hXt1iKDnXqCs4gGkMMut7srneI_XbV4IS-0uP8FlAA6ThzXoeb9GQl4n_kw8E7ENgKUJEEAuxRC2sHpwjNw/s1600-h/cheerleadingplainfield&gunclub+048.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288173610523077202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXpUGifN0zr_7jy0hUncOd__mVJy_lqKShgMmQew7B3FY-WQ3xRM6I0rR4hXt1iKDnXqCs4gGkMMut7srneI_XbV4IS-0uP8FlAA6ThzXoeb9GQl4n_kw8E7ENgKUJEEAuxRC2sHpwjNw/s320/cheerleadingplainfield&gunclub+048.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ffffff;">Every year we get together with Grandma <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Jones's</span> family.

I hope that lasts for awhile.</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKlOT7OWyREuRNKjthrCqKvy4C4LCCWzK-8hI3AdZhgUuTvtqQyQPjw_sa4-dDqvw_rZuB0qpI6-XTcPJo_YixB0QNQTbQmy8MmHsoEBsrpn7agxQu9au4OpC-RX-qvBWIa9NfC26Zrqk/s1600-h/bonfireandtoothfairy+008.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272954252698585986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKlOT7OWyREuRNKjthrCqKvy4C4LCCWzK-8hI3AdZhgUuTvtqQyQPjw_sa4-dDqvw_rZuB0qpI6-XTcPJo_YixB0QNQTbQmy8MmHsoEBsrpn7agxQu9au4OpC-RX-qvBWIa9NfC26Zrqk/s320/bonfireandtoothfairy+008.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01887212821311069117noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3965703175226827946.post-80742586515049599032008-11-07T10:43:00.003-06:002008-11-07T11:03:25.902-06:00Nighttime Magic<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvfc05o8SjOx0ZJPjnHGaE1dfIAV4CmEhgqS6T4lZjtXed_BGuMc1I4UGhl62xUYUjtEdCYE0UMqRaE5xJlz7z0u36pr7Cph6KyG7gKJ8rUxVdtOmtWAmWCingTOdMGOr-BqXm0KZn6VE/s1600-h/bonfireandtoothfairy+037.jpg"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265958351554909330" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvfc05o8SjOx0ZJPjnHGaE1dfIAV4CmEhgqS6T4lZjtXed_BGuMc1I4UGhl62xUYUjtEdCYE0UMqRaE5xJlz7z0u36pr7Cph6KyG7gKJ8rUxVdtOmtWAmWCingTOdMGOr-BqXm0KZn6VE/s320/bonfireandtoothfairy+037.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ffffff;">Last night at our house we had a new magical visitor.

We used <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">umbrellas</span> all day and we were soaked, but all in all we had a fun time!</span>Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01887212821311069117noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3965703175226827946.post-66730261549912307592008-10-23T07:09:00.003-05:002008-10-29T13:43:43.087-05:00Snapshot of Summer<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ffffff;">We had an amazing summer!

Leah turned 3 on September 19<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span>. We had a big birthday party at our house for her. It's hard to believe that my baby has turned 3. She is no longer my baby, and you better not even think of calling her "baby". Those are fighting words <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">around</span> here. Leah is always the star of the show, the one who makes everyone laugh, and loves to be the center of attention. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Leah also was able to start her very first dance class. She was so excited to start! She is the youngest one in the class, but does a pretty good job listening. Hopefully, she will want to continue and if she does there will be a recital in the spring. She will be dancing on stage at the high school! Oh Boy!</span></span>Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01887212821311069117noreply@blogger.com0
