The Magic Blanket

My wonderful Mother in law, Nancy, makes everyone "tv blankets" and they are so cozy and warm, and I love mine that I have... Kelli loves hers.. so on and so forth. Well Josie finally got hers in the mail the other day, and it was so funny. She was so excited and now wont let it out of her sight! After she got it, she played on it, and had it with her, and I went to put it away and it was as if I were going to distroy the blanket.. she fell apart and had an emotional breakdown everytime I picked it up. But why is it a magic blanket you ask???? Cause since she'd had it... she's slept LIKE A CHAMP! Yeah for Grandma Farnworth to the rescue! The only problem, is now Kelli wants another one "just like Josies"... Little Stinker!

Do I have something on my face??

LIttle bit, yes.. So, Danny thought I was in the bathroom getting ready, and I thought Danny had her in the room with him.... and this is what happens when the little one gets in the make up....




She thought it was so hilarious... and I thought so too. The part where it was in her mouth was a little gross, but all in all, quite funny. My tub had a black ring around it from getting all the mascara off her face and hands... and even then she still looked like she had a black eye for the day.

Kelli Dance Recital 2010

Kelli looks forward to dancing on the big stage all year... So when the day finally came she was soooo excited! The make up, the costume, the attention, the flowers--she loves it all! She did so good.. she had 3 dances in all and was amazing!

"Thank you" to everyone who came and watched her.. even though it was so crazy with Emily being born the night before and we had extra kids there it was so fun.. Thanks Shell and family for always being there and supporting.. Kelli appreciates it and talks about it, and for two little boys named Thomas and Nate, they are better behaved than Kelli is and its her recital! Thanks family... love you!

Here are just a few pictures from the hospital.... it was 11:30 at night.. and obviously Amber was exhausted.. and my photography isn't that great...

Kelli is 4!!!!

Well, I can't believe it... Kelli is 4! I can't believe that 4 years ago this little girl decided to surprise me and come 3 weeks early.. she is always unpredictable and full of energy. She is super smart and has the most amazing memory ever! She loves her family and her friends more than anything in the world! She has always been a litte bit of a daredevil and will climb up, jump off, go around, and try ANYTHING. She loves to learn.. she loves to learn Sign Language and has been writing her name for about a year now.. Once she learned how to sign the ABC's its something she has to practice daily. I taught her how to count in sign language and now if you do "3" wrong.... its almost like she can't comprehend any other form of showing 3 fingers.. if you dont do it right.. there's something wrong with you and she will insist you fix it before she'll listen anymore. Which brings me to my next point.... she's hard headed. She wants what she wants and she will talk your face off til she gets it.. she'll try to brib you with candy and treats she can't buy.. but hey! Atleast she tries right? She is just like me in the sense that ice cream is her favorite thing in the world.. every night she wants it before bedtime and everytime we get in the car she tries to brib me to get her a ice cream cone. I love that if I tell her "the Doctor said"--She'll do it, no questions asked. Her 4 year well check has been a blessing... she wants to be this amazing healthy eater cause "the Doctor said" to eat veggies, fruit, and no soda and little choco milk... and that is what she does! I love that when I tell her to stop talking.. its pretty much IMPOSSIBLE. I'm not kidding either.... I say, "stop talking for one second please" and she says.."Ok mom....(pause)... Did you see that mom? I listened, I said..OK MOM. Where are we going? Who are you talking to?" blah blah blah.. even when I'm not in a conversation with her, she'll tell me what she wants me to say.. (it drives me nuts) She is hilarious, a smart al-lic, brilliant, loving, caring, daring, open minded, eager to learn, and remembers too much for her own good, she loves music and she loves to dance and "shake her booty".. she loves to be center of attention, playing outside, riding her bike, and talking to Uncle Greg on the phone, and put puzzles together and do crafts. but most of all she loves her family, the church, and ice cream!

Here are a few pictures from her Birthday. What a better way to spend your birthday than on Pancake Tuesday with all your cousins?? We even gave everyone hulahoops for party favors..




The best gift we gave was obviously the bike, and it has been the greatest thing to get her energy out and pass the time away. But if you ask her, "what was your favorite part of your bday??" She'll answer, "talking to Greggy on the phone."

May Birthday Party

Well, one again its May birthday time! Lyza (who is technically in April), Seth, Kelli, Brooklyn, Thomas, Amanda, and Nate (technically June 1).. we do it quick and all at once, like ripping off a band-aid! It is total craziness but its so much fun at the same time.. The kids think its the greatest thing ever... and the very few who aren't involved with the birthday fest... sit in envy! The kids only get gifts from Grandma and Grandpa cause the time of year puts us all at border line bankrupt! :) Here are just a few pictures of the day, I forgot to take more pictures during the day cause, well, it was crazy!






We also celebrated Mothers Day since it was on Mothers Day... Good times. My mom is an awesome mom and my sisters are all so amazing... Love you xoxo

Tipee Toe Kelli

Eric, Dannys brother, came up one weekend and Kelli was so excited that she just "couldn't sleep." We had put her to bed, and I told her not to get out of her bed anymore.... So she thought that she'd be so sneaky, and get out of bed, and lay at the top of the stairs so she could hear us playing games and talking.... Doesn't it stink when your sneaky plan backfires, and you fall asleep??? I was just glad she didn't fall down the stairs cause she isn't the calmest sleeper out there!
