Jordyn's music day!

Thursday is Jordyn's music day and so we took a few pictures of her in music this morning. She really enjoys her new big girl class with Ms. Laura. There are a couple of boys in the class that we have been in the same class with since they were 6 months old, but the others are all new and so she is still getting used to the new class. She enjoys all the new instruments and music that she gets to listen to though. So, hope you enjoy seeing how Jordyn gets to spend her Thursday with mommy. She really enjoys her one on one time and so do I.
Jordyn decided that she needed to sit on Ms. Laura's lap too (this was not planned, but made for a great picture and luckily I had my camera).
Here they are looking at the story that Ms. Laura is reading. Last week Jordyn was the only one that actually sat there, but I guess that some of the others decided to listen this week.
Look how well they are listening!
"Roll over Rover, roll over rover!"
I forgot to have someone take her picture during class, so we had to get the dog at the end of class. Then, she would not put him back into his house.
I love this puppy!

Wednesday is Hayven Day!

Wednesday's are always a day for Hayven and so today I decided to take some pictures of what we do throughout our day. In the morning, we go to Kindermusik and she loves it. Afterwards, we go to lunch with some of her friends from class and then sometimes go shopping or something. At the end of her day, we go to dance class and she does a combination of tap and ballet. They are practicing for their recital right now and she is having so much fun. I am excited about her first recital that will be in June. I cannot wait to see how she does and if she will actually perform the dance.
Each kid in the class gets to hold Rover and this was Hayven's turn and she absolutely loves getting to hold the dog and sing to him.


Ms. Jeanie was reading their story to them and Hayven always has to be right up at the front to where she is blocking the way of some of the others.
Today, she decided that she did not want to rock on my lap, but she wanted to sit with her teacher instead.
After lunch today, we went grocery shopping and she was so excited that they had a cart just her size that she got to push around the store and help me shop. She actually put everything in the cart for me and helped me to scan at all at the end.
What fruits do we need Mommy?
Here she is at dance class playing with a string that one of her friends gave to her.

Valentine's Pictures 2009!

These are their cute Valentine's pictures that we took at the Picture People. They turned out alright even though we had to wait an hour before getting them taken. They did not want to sit down or be still at all for pictures, so luckily we got a few good ones. We were able to get enough for our Valentine's card and that was really the only intention that I had for going. Hope that everyone enjoys their Valentine's day!

Trying to get both of them to look at the camera is almost impossible, no matter what kind of mood that they are in.

Jordyn loves blowing kisses! She has not quite got the part down about taking her hand away from her face, but it makes for a really cute picture.

Hayven looking sweet and innocent for her picture. I am not sure why she puts her face down on her shoulder like this for pictures now, but this seems to be her new thing.

Fun Times!

Just a few pictures of the girls playing around the house!

Jordyn's favorite place to climb now is on top of the dining room table and see what she can find up there to eat or drink. I have to make sure that everything is always cleared off right away or she will definitely get into it.


She can finally climb up the ladder on the swingset all by herself!

Watch me go down the slide!

I love playing on the top of my swingset!

Hayven loves to hold Jordyn and help her go down the slide. Jordyn really does not mind the death grip either.

They love each other so much!

Jordyn had her first chocolate donut and loved it!

Hayven loves donuts!

Cleaning up after the chocolate donut!

Riding Bikes!

We had a great time this weekend riding our bikes around the neighborhood and going up to eat at Subway and then to the park. The girls really enjoyed riding in their little seat behind daddy's bike. Hayven really wants her own bike though that she can ride too. We hope that she gets one for her third birthday and then begins to learn to ride it this summer. We look forward to many more bike trips much like this one. This was Jordyn's first time to get to do this because in the summer she was too little to sit in there by herself, she really enjoyed it alot.

Here is Jordyn in her new bike gear. She does not wear her knee pads yet, but they came as a kit and so we put it all on her for the picture.
Here she is looking out the window at me, so excited about the ride and ready to get started.

Hayven is super excited!

They are ready to get moving. Jordyn got a little nervous and decided that she needed the pacifier for the trip.

Here is daddy pulling them along.
