This past week...

Last week Katie's kindergarten class had an unusual pet show. She and all her class mates made a pet that would considered unusual. Katie made a Kangaroo. She was so proud of it! Then she and her class entertained us parents with some songs. She is now on break for three weeks. She is in year round school and has 10 weeks on and 3 weeks off. Her teacher is great and she is progressing faster now then she was in her class in AZ.




Not only did we have an unusual pet this past week but we also had our first house guests! We were so lucky to have the Schmidt family come and join us while they were here for Jill's brother's wedding. Katie had so much fun with her little friends. Here are some highlights of the weekend.


Making cookies is our little tradition. We used to do it everytime Amelia and Eli would come over when Jill was working at ASU. I know that was a long time ago but the kids still remember. Of course, we have to uphold tradition!







Amelia taught Eli and Katie dance lessons while Jill and Mike were at breakfast with an old friend. It was funny how serious they all were during Amelia's dance lessons!


Amelia was singing "Castle In A Cloud" from Les Mes. She was going over it with Jill before singing it for her uncle and fiance during their rehersal dinner.


Katie and Amelia set up a bed in the hallway for the last night that they were here. They actually stayed and slept the whole night through in the hallway!


Best Friends forever!

Hopefully those pictures inspire you all to come and visit. We miss you all!
