Jude's 1st hair cut

Craft of the week.

Recycled Piggy Bank.

Emelia LOVED this craft. It was fun and the end product is so cute!

Here are our pictures

Emelia is now a Tumble Bee.

Emelia and Coach Offie

Emelia graduated from Tootsie Rolls in gymnastics class to Tumble Bee's. This is a really big deal for both Emelia and Mommy. This means I can sit on the bench and watch. :) The last session of her tootsie rolls class the teacher had me sit on the side to transition her to the big girl class and she was doing such an awesome job! Emelia felt like such a big girl when she did it all by herself. Every once in a while she would run over to me and give me a hug, it is just so cute!

She starts Tumble Bee's on Thursday with my good friend Mindy as her teacher.

I must update!

I haven't updated on the kiddos for awhile. So lets see.

Jude is still the Dude. He is so mellow and such a great baby. He still has his moments but man did I luck out! We go next week for his 9 month apt. I will post his stats when we get home. He is now waving hi and bye it is super cute and I will upload a video of the first time he did it. I love firsts! He is all over the place! Climbing up the stairs going into drawers and always want's to be around his big sister Emelia. He has six teeth and is getting two new ones as we speak (or type) and he wants to bite everything!

Emelia is so fun! She is still in gymnastics and loves it! Her teacher is preparing her to move to the next level. So she has been doing her classes without mommy. It is so nice. I can sit on the side and watch. Every once in awhile during the class she will run over to me and give me a hug but I think she is doing well with the transition. We have been going to Disneyland alot lately now that I have the annual pass. I meet my sisters there with the kids. We only go for about 3 hours and come home. It is the perfect amount of time. Emelia really enjoys it. She actually went up to minnie mouse and took a picture with her the other day. What a great moment that was considering she has been so scared of characters. I need to slowely prepare her for our disney cruise in June.

Here is a video of some recent pictures and video.
