Dance day

Thursday's are our busy days. Bella goes to school from 8:25 am to 11:20 pm. We then go home have a quick lunch and get ready for dance at 1:00pm. Bella is not liking dance much this year, but I am making her stick it out hoping she will change her mind. We get done with dance and go home for a short time then head to pick up Emma. Poor Bennett spends a lot of time in the car seat on Thursdays, good thing he is such a good baby!!

Orange Leaf

Today Bella, Bennett, and I spent the day with Jessica, Haley, Grace, Maryann, and Grandma Tomlinson. We went to the mall, McDonalds, and our favorite place....Orange Leaf!!! We Had fun spending the day with them since both of our families are busy these days and we don't spent much time together anymore. After that we picked Emma up from school and went to gymnastics, of course Emma was upset to find out she missed out on the fun. I agreed that we could go to dinner with the Dehmer's to smooth things over with Emma.

Valentines night

We ended tonight with Ben bringing the girls flowers at dance. He also bought me my favorite wine, Stella Rosa. Ben and I ordered take out from John and Nicks and I made the girls Mac and cheese as requested by them. I had too much wine, chocolate and good food. Hopefully weigh in at weight watchers this weekend won't be too bad :)



This is a pic from the father daughter dance Ben took the girls to this last weekend. They had so much fun dancing with Grace Dehmer.

I am back!!!

Here we go again, I am making another go at writing on this blog!! I am not going to try and fill in the gaps because I would be writing for over a year, so I am starting with today. Happy valentines day. Bella just got home from her party and got plenty of loot that should hype her up for many hours. Emma is at school right now almost ready for her first real school valentines party, I still can't believe she is in school, sniff, sniff. Bennett is telling me it is time for a nap so I better get going.

Church members

I sent Ben and the girls to Monkey Joe's for the afternoon, so I have some time to catch up. Today we finally joined St. Boniface catholic church in Waukee. We have been going there sporadically in the 2 years that we have lived here, but never have joined. It is finally time to make that commitment for our girls to be raised going to church and to start Sunday school when old enough. What better time to join then during the first Sunday of Lent. Our priest said to do something for Lent that we could continue after Lent, and this is what I have decided is the best is to make sure I get my kids to church and become involved.

Ears pierced

Yesterday Emma decided she wanted her ears pierced. So Ben and I decided to let her. We went to the mall to have lunch then went to the store to get it done. There was a 6 month old little girl was having her ears pierced and really screamed and cried when it was done. This made Emma not want to get it done, but I ended up talking her into getting it done. She did not scream, but she had tears and wanted to take them out as soon as it was done. It took about an hour for her to be happy she did it. She is now excited for the 8 weeks is up so she can go buy new ones to put in she saw a ton of earrings she wanted to get while we were waiting yesterday!
