This week

I LOVE this picture of Claire..I've probably even posted it before.

Natalie's science project about music and the effect it has on your heartbeat.

It didn't win but I must say it looked the best! ha ha

So this has been a crazy week with Valentines and I got sick with a really bad cold which I still have and am now thinking it is probably a sinus infection. Natalie came home Tuesday night and said her science project was due the next day! (Typical Natalie) So we were scrambling at the last second trying to get it done. Then she tells me yesterday that we are hosting 2 girls from Mexico till Tuesday of next week. WHAT? Welcome to my life...

This is Natalie (right) with her friend "Hopper"

Natalie struttin' her stuff!

Our 8 month old Claire Bear..so cute isn't she?

Not much ..except snow has been happening here and I didn't even take pictures this time. We got so much in the beginning of the week the kids were home from school for 2 days. I went to Natalie's cheer pep assembly on Friday and she did great and really likes it. ( following in her sister's footsteps!) I have been battling a cold the past few days and so is Zane and Claire..my stay at home buddies. I think they might even be getting pink eye. Claire is over 8 months old now and is getting to be quite a character. She has discovered that she can shake her head back and forth and actually communicate the word "NO" The girls have also taught her how to wave her cute little hand "bye -bye" Valentines is coming up and I am hoping my wonderful husband has planned somethng WONDERFUL as it is his year to do Valentine's ..we take turns each year. We'll see.............;)

Winter Formal

This past Saturday was Winter Formal for Flagstaff High School. Melissa went with a friend named Christian who asked her to go. The theme was "masquerade". We found a dress while in California that fit her persoanlity perfectly and shoes at a specialty website since her foot is so small. My mom was able to find a white shrug to go on top of the dress since nothing these days is made modestly. My mom and Dad drove up here on a weekday and brought it to us. How nice huh? I made her a mask to carry around and she said it got stolen off her table...(sure). She spent the day getting ready at her friend Emily's house and I went over to get pictures. She looked so pretty and said she had a good time except that her date wouldn't stop following her around EVERYWHERE! She came home that night and came in our room to tell us all about the evening and chatted for about a half hour.. I felt great that she would want to tell us about her night and only hope that the communication between us will always be strong. Love you Melissa and can't wait to experience your next adventure in the dating world!
