Go Team Dynamo!

This video is of my awesome little boy playing soccor with other 3 and 4 year olds. He is wearing a yellow shirt with dark blue shorts. He got two goals for his team on the first game:) I just love him. (Listen for Max yelling, "Get it, Caleb!" Hehe, it's cute how he says his brother's name.)

Lovely Ladies...


Here is a picture of the 2010 Valley Dance Ensemble company members... hehe. They might be mad at me for posting this one, but I thought it was hilarious. I have had such a blast dancing. These women are very talented, funny, and good friends! From left to right: Suz- our fearless leader, Tessa-posing for her hubby who was taking the photo, Me and my baby bump (6 months along now), Celeste, and Ember. I love these girls!

Our Spring concert is this Saturday! I am super excited. We will be performing at Eccles Theater in Logan and everyone is invited. There is admission, though...FYI.

Caleb will be dancing with one of my 3 and 4 year old classes and I am super excited to see how he does. He has a pretty sweet solo in it, where he does the robot, so we will see how it turns out. Then, he will also be in our group piece, called "Monsters Under theBed," inspired by "Where the Wild Things Are." He is a monster and he loves that dance. The dances are all creative and fun, not the stereotypical dance recital. I will be in one dance with the company and performing with my classes. I am way excited.

Cutie Pie

"Cutie Pie with a Cherry on Top" is on HER way! :) That is what Cubs would like to name his little sister... hehe. He is super excited and Max doesn't really know what's going on. It will be a fun surprise for him since he is such a Momma's boy... (Max). The other day Max told Caleb, "MY mommy," while snuggling up to me. I told Max that I was Caleb's Mom too, but he said, "No, Daddy's Caleb!" My boys are the best boys ever. I just love them to pieces.
We really didn't believe the ultrasound tech when she said it was a girl. We both made her double check, while Caleb was reminding us that he knew it all along. I am HAPPY to get a girl. I get to fix hair and do nails and dance with a girl. I have to say though, that it was perfect for me to have two boys first. I have LOVED having boys... they are so much fun!
I am really grateful for Bart too. I never see him anymore because he is working so hard on the new house. He really is soo driven and motivated. I am a lucky woman... and feeling pretty blessed that things have turned out the way they have in my life.
We had an offer on our condo, but they decided to wait a little longer, so we are praying that all of Bart's hard work counts for something. I believe it will work out, so people, pray for us if you feel so inclined. :) We appreciate all the help that good friends and family have been giving us. It seriously is the nicest thing EVER to have their service.
That's the latest with us... I need to post some video's I've taken, so I will try to do that soon. The boys are pretty cute in them!

Just LOVE this Birthday Boy...

Yes, Max is two! I can't believe it. It has been so fun having him in our family and watching him grow. He is adorable and loving. He is a tease, but so sweet too. I am so thankful for him in our lives. Right now, he is going through a grumpy phase, but I think it is funny and it still makes us love him even more. Max, you're the best!!
These are random pics of him that I love:

The Latest of us...







Updates on US!

So, YES, I haven't posted in FOREVER. I don't even really have many new pics. Life has been crazy for us these last few months. I thought I would just update for anyone who hasn't given up on me yet. :)

First, I joined a dance company up here called Valley Dance Ensemble at the end of October. I LOVE it. It is modern dance and I feel like I am finally doing something for me. I have performed once for a fundraiser since then and we are getting ready for the spring show in April. Starting in Jan. I started teaching dance/creative movement twice a week and I will also teach a few of the adult modern classes this March. I am loving this new outlet for me, the women I dance with, and am especially grateful to Bart for supporting me in this decision.:)

A couple of weeks after I committed to dancing, we found out we are expecting our third baby. :) Kinda crazy first 4 months, since I am still Primary President, but I am starting to feel much better now and we are adjusting to everyone's schedules. We are going to find out the baby's gender in March. I am due the end of July. We really wanted this and are grateful to have another little one in our family. I am still dancing with this one and things have been fine. So as I progress, I will start to take it easier, but for now, all is well.

Next, would be the BOYS. They are crazy and full of life. They are still sweet to their mama and I love them so much. They brighten my life everyday. Caleb is learning to write all sorts of words and draw the most interesting pictures. He takes one of the dance classes with me and we have lots of fun. He is very bright and always cracks me up with the crazy and thoughtful things he says.

Max is doing well. His vocabulary is booming right now. He will repeat everything I say and I love listening to him explore and talk. He is my cuddle muffin and loves me to hold him still. He is pretty grumpy at times and wants his independance more now but he is also the sweetest kid ever.

Bart is super busy, like always. Right now he is on a trip for work to L.A. and the boys have been missing him. He works hard and plays hard, if he can find the time. He has been going to school and working, and now we have decided to try and sell our condo. We found a house we really feel good about, and want to get, about 15 mins. north of here, and Bart has been working hard on making this happen. It is still under construction so Bart worked it out to do a lot of the work to finish it up and he will be saving us lots this way. He is going to do the floors, paint, trim, and possibly the countertops and cabinets. He is amazing. I am grateful he has all these skills. I hope he doesn't burn himself out too fast, but I am so thankful he is willing to work hard for our family. We should be getting a few others to help from my family and our friends too, thankfully.

Anyway, we are just praying our condo will sell fairly quickly, otherwise we wont move.
Okay I think that is all... Phew! This was longer than I thought it would be. We love all of our friends and family and hope you are doing well!
