What's happening in Lilly's world: She is in tumbling right now, and enjoys it. It's not something she will probably want to do again, but likes going. She isn't a big dancer/gymnastics kind of gal. That's ok, neither was I. She still prefers swimming, and still wants to learn how to dive. I thought for sure by now, she would have forgotten, or it would have lost its appeal over time, but she told me the other day, she wants to take diving this summer. She also wants to take singing lessons...she loves anything to do with music. If you ask her what she wants to be when she grows up, it is "a singer on stage, or a rock star". Hmm. We went to St. George and she was able to see cousins she doesn't get to see all that often. She loved it! They are all really cute together. I am glad she has such a cute relationship with her cousin Prentice, even though she lives far away. She also got to see Grandma and Grandpa Ballam...of course she loved showing off her swimming skills to them! She is starting to learn to read, and is really excited that she is getting the hang of it. I signed her up for Kindergarten, and she was NOT happy about it. She did NOT want to go into the school with me, and does NOT want to leave her preschool. Poor thing. She will do great though, I just know it. Health wise, she is doing great. She is on great medicine, so we haven't had any asthma attacks. We are hoping her lungs are getting a little stronger too. Cute little bug...love her to pieces!
Claire Bear is up to: She is so dang funny. Honestly. Every day she says something, does something, puts on some random outfit that makes us laugh. Like, genuinely laugh. She is so happy, and just wanders around the house all day talking and creating messes! She loves to dance to music after dinner, ride her Minnie Mouse bike, color, play play-dough, play with her blocks and puzzles. Really, she likes to do just about anything! We are growing out her bangs, and I think she looks so cute. I also signed her up for preschool for this fall...where has the time gone?! It needs to stop!! We met up with Anton's brother and his family at Chuck E Cheese, and she talks about it every single day. The girls had a great time. She is a little ray of sunshine. She is so happy, and brings me SO much joy. I couldn't love her more!
Anton: He is getting so anxious for this long, horrible winter to be over. He is ready to start hiking again. He has grown out his hair a little bit, and I think he looks SO handsome. Now, if he would only let me take his picture :) He took the leap and switched jobs at the first of the year. He is so happy, loves the guys he is working with, and is doing really well! I am so proud of him. Soon, he will start doing business in Bozeman, Mt., and he is really excited about it. It is such a great place, with great people. I love him. I am so lucky to have him.
I am really looking forward to warmer weather. We are all getting a little ancy around here. The trip to St. George did miracles for our spirits. We hope to see some warm weather soon, are excited to meet another niece or nephew soon, and are looking forward to our Camping trip to Snow Canyon soon!
