Oh Noooo!

Lindsay came down from her room where she was getting dressed after her bath.  Apparently she had gotten "all ready for the day" while she was at it.  I thought she'd come down to show me that she was dressed, until she pointed out her beautiful nails and toes she'd painted.  We quickly went up to her room and I had her show me where she'd done all her work...For those with sharp eyes, you can see in the second picture that we got some on the carpet, too.  Are we En-Joying the Journey yet!?!

If you look at it objectively, it's really not a bad job for a four-year-old.

She actually did pretty well at getting it on her nails, and her toes, and yes--the carpet!

Even the bottom of the hands couldn't escape the orange polish!  Notice how "pruny" her hands are still!
Just in case you were wondering...Colgate shaving cream is really good at getting finger nail polish out of white carpet!  Thank goodness I already knew that and we had some on hand.  Like I said before--JOY!

Gymnastics!

Lindsay is in the city's gymnastics program for the next little while.  She loves her leotard and doing all the tricks!  She is having a great time and catching on really quickly.  It's pretty fun to see.

Straddle Somersault!

I'd say she stuck that landing!

The finish of her backwards roll.

Getting some air!

Climbing builds strong muscles!

Does anyone see a monkey?

Look at that balance!

That was quite the stretch for my little newbie--but she got the hang of it by the end of class!

Straddle jump over the blocks!
It's pretty cute to see her learning something new.  All the ages and stages are fun!

The Many Faces of Lindsay

They've been at it again--Alli and Lindsay have put together another photo shoot!  Here's what I found on the camera this time....

You can't beat those pretty blue eyes!

Sweet girl!

Very Artistic!

Now smell the flower!

The ever popular lying in the grass shot...

There's the personality creeping in!  Funny bunny!

Every photographer knows--You've gotta have an action shot!

Thanks, Alli.  I'm glad you take the time to do this for us all!  You two make a pretty great pair!

Home Re-model?

Welcome to my home!  Would you like a tour?  Above my head is the clock...

Here's the doorbell for visitors!

A family portrait for the wall!

Looking out the window!

There's nothing like fresh flowers to make a house feel like a home!  Alli is such a fun sister.  She helped Lindsay re-decorate her "house."  It was really a ploy to help Lindsay keep her toys picked up!  It appears Alli is learning how things work when you share a room with a 4-year-old!

Cross Country Girl

Alli at the end of her first Cross Country Meet at Diamond Fork Jr High.  She came in 10th!  Nice job, Alli!

Go Alli, Go!  She just decided she wanted to try Cross Country this year.  She's been running for just a couple of weeks and her mile time went from 7:06 to 6:50 pace already.  She is really getting into running.  Jeff told her she could run with us next summer in the Ragnar Relay Race.  She is really excited about that!  It's fun to see her try something hard and realize she can do it!  Good life lesson!
