Santa

Super excited for Christmas. Saw Santa at the mall. Savannah sang at the mall with her Glee club. Isabelle sang with her class at school. Both did a great job. It is fun that they learned some of the same songs so we can sing them in the car. Adam keeps trying to "blow out" the candle shaped bubble lights that we have on our tree. We are having a great christmas time. Loves to all.

Horse Camp

In July we signed the girls up for Horse camp. They've always been obsessed with horses and they LOVED Horse camp. It was perfect for them. They were each assigned a horse to work with all week. The learned how to groom and saddle and ride and... Well more than i know about horses!

Isabelle riding Lady. It was so fun to see such a little girl on such a big gentle horse. Isabelle is a natural she was so confident and excited. They even trotted! She was one of the youngest there and did Great.

Savannah riding Heart. Heart was being a bit lazy that day and wanted to just stand there. Savannah did a great job and still had fun.

Cleaning Heart's feet. I laughed to watch Savannah pick up Heart's foot to clean it. She was one of the few that figured out the trick. She was amazing.

10 things i've learned about boys.

Boys:
1. RUN! Everywhere they go!
2. Want to be big!

3. Want to be like their dad. (notice the funny face due to the "car noises" -see #4)

(and yes, he is sitting on Matt's Handle bars!)
4. Can't play with toy cars without sound effects. (Cars don't make good church toys!)
5. Will resort to pushing a pink baby stroller around the house, but only with adding "truck" sound effects. (see #4)

6. Love Sticks, Poles, Pipes or anything else they can "Fix" (bang on stuff) with.

7. Love to "help". (Adam has become a proficient Dish-Washer Emptier. He still doesn't understand the concept of "loading" and it is generally a race to get it loaded before he puts all the dirty dishes in the drawer!)7. Love Balls: big balls, small balls, bouncy balls, bumpy balls, round or not, they LOVE balls!

8. Always have bumps and bruises. (especially when they tease their sisters.)

9. Lack patience and tend to help themselves to things

10. Are amazing and fun and perfect.

Admitedly I started this post months ago... forgive my tardiness! Busy being a mom and all that! : )
