My Grammy is really cute

Sunday evening I had this conversation with the girls.

Emma: "My Grammy is really cute."
Kris: "Yes, she is, isn't she?"
Emma: "And, smart and brave and strong too." (taps head with pointer finger & flexes arm muscle)
Kate: "Yeah, she's really cute!" (grins)
Kris: "You both love your Grammy, don't you?"
Kate & Emma: "Yeah, we really do. Soooo much!"

They are very excited to have Grammy over for a sleepover for the whole weekend while Mommy & Daddy take a little trip. Mommy & Daddy are excited too! We know the girls will be in great hands! Thanks Mom!

Grandpa Tom & Grandma Susan visit

Grandpa Tom & Grandma Susan were in town from Texas this weekend for Susan's niece's wedding. We got to visit with them for a couple of days and really enjoyed it. Since we don't get to see them very often, we have to make the most of our time together. Kate & Emma loved the extra attention. We're all looking forward to another visit at Christmas.

Dance Class

It's been 3 weeks since dance class started, and the girls love it! They are in a 2-3 year old class of tap and ballet. Kate & Emma appear to be the biggest and oldest girls in the group. Before class started on their first day, their classmate, Zoey, introduced herself and exchanged hugs and kisses with each girls. Zoey has beautiful red hair, which the girls say makes her look like Ariel. Zoey & Emma frequently sit next to each other and hold hands throughout class. Their teacher, Miss Kristen, is great and makes learning a lot of fun. She taught the girls how to scuff their tap shoes on the ground so they wouldn't be so slippery on the dance floor. We can't wait to see what Miss Kristen has planned for the recital in January!

Knott's Berry Farm

We took the kids to Knott's on Saturday. It was hot but we had a great time. Emma laughs and giggles on all the rides, no matter how fast, but Kate was white knuckling most of them, even the Camp Snoopy rides. However, she pleaded to go on the Log Ride, twice! Here are a few photos of the day.Under the waterfall at Camp Snoopy entrance

School? I thought we were going on rides!?

Putting on a "show"

We had the Dodson family over for dinner and the kids put on a "show" for us! Kira Dodson (age 11) organized & choreographed it, and Konnor Dodson, Katelyn & Emma (all age 3) starred in it. What a crack up!
