Just catchin up!

I knew it would be tough for me to keep this up. I just wanted to put down some random things that have gone on in the last few weeks. The time has flown by because life has been busy and full.

We have had a rough two weeks with our little Jenna. I always knew she would be a handful, I just hoped it would be easier than I thought. I am at my wits end not knowing how to handle her temper tantrums and acting like a two year old. I just want to pull my hair out sometimes. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. I just really don't know how to get through to her.

Backing up a couple of weeks. The girls tried out for a group called Shenanigans a few weeks ago. They all had to sing a solo in front of a panal of judges. They were so scared. They did so good though. Jenna was so super scared. They told me she probable wouldn't have made it except that the three older girls did so they put her in too. They are loving it so much. It is so cute to see them try to dance. Not much coordination with them all. Jenna is having fun trying though. Chloe wasn't able to try out cause she is not old enough. However she insists on going every time to watch them. I even bought her some sweats to wear there so she could dance. She peeks in the room and then trys to mimick the dance. It is so funny. The ladies their are trying to talk the board into having a 4-6 group and they are even more adament now that they have watched chloe for two weeks. She is just so cute trying to do the songs and dances with the older girls. It has been fun having them in this new song and dance group.






Next the girls decided that they wanted to donate their hair. So two Saturday's ago we chopped the hair. It was very tramatic for me. I cried when I had to cut 10-12 inches off each of their heads. The kids were so excited and loved it. They have not regreted it for one minute.






Finaly,we had a fun day with the kids. It started with heart/candy pancakes, and we gave them little gifts. I of course took no pictures, but it was a nice morning. Nate wasn't with us he was having a campout in the snow. He went up to Big Bear and they hiked a mile with snow shoes on than they ate their meager dinner(dry top ramen and granola bars) then they went to bed because it was snowing so hard on them. This morning Nate had fruit and played capture the flag. I was so afraid that he would come home with frozen limbs or something. He was fine and had fun. Told me I didn't need to worry so much. Ha, I am my mama's daughter. She got it from her mama. It is a viscious cycle. Stop the insanity!

We took the girls to Burger King today to have a little birthday party. Yes I am about 6 months late, but right when it was Jenna and Chloe's birthday we changed their school. Then I couldn't find their friends phone numbers and addresses. Well needless to say the holidays slowed us up and now we finally got around to finding phone numbers again and put on a little birthday bash. It was fun, they each had a couple of friends come and they played and had a blast. It was a good day. I like Valentines day. I had lots of fun hanging out with my girls, and Troy of course.










Well I guess that is all I have for now. My life is just not that exciting that I can put pictures and stuff on here every week.
