Black History Program


To celebrate Black History Month, Jenna's school had a program. Here's Jenna and Ian before the program.

Here they are on stage. It was a Langston Hughes poem; they did a fantastic job reciting it together. Jenna was so animated and natural. We were very proud of her.

After the show, posing for a few pictures.

Kylie and Andrew hamming it up at the program.



This is what Landrie looked like all night because if she didn't have a sucker she was yelling "Jeeennnnnnaaaa" across the cafeteria.

"Brown skin and earin' holes."

Okay...so the title may not make sense to all of you.
A couple of years ago Jenna came home from school declaring that she had two wishes. She wished that she could have brown skin and earin' holes.
This past weekend we were able to grant one of those wishes. Here she is waiting for her skin transplant...just kidding.


She did such a good job. While we were waiting we watched a 2 month old baby get her ears pierced. The lady warned me to take Jenna out of the store because that baby was going to scream, but we had a talk about how the baby is too little to know that it only hurts for a second and didn't understand how cute she would be when it was over. Yes, that baby SCREAMED, but Jenna stood strong and got up in the chair. After the first ear she gave me this look as if to say...that was it? I thought this was supposed to hurt? All of this from the girl you can probably hear getting a shot from a couple states away.

Big Smile

Landrie is getting to be such a little girl. Here she is in her little pink jumper. All dressed up and happy as can be...
Yesterday morning I was waking the girls up; I started in Jenna and Kylies room. While I was trying to convince them that it was morning and they had a great day ahead of them, I sneezed. Here's the funny part. From the next room I hear Landrie(who I thought was still sleeping)... guess what she said...I am not even kidding...she said "Bless You". It was so funny. That made my morning.

2 Flower Girls in the Making

With Auntie Jamies wedding getting close, we got the girls in to be fitted for their flower girl dresses. They are SO excited. I am sure that on April 4th they will both want to sleep in their dresses, because it was a fight just to get these off of them at the store.
This is the actual style that they are getting.

I know that it is Jamie and Mitch that are getting anxious for their special day, but I'm pretty sure that these two will think it is all about them.

Jed, Jenna and Kylie at the Father-Daughter Dance.
What a special night for these two. Having their Daddy all to themselves.
