Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Dancing Queen!!

In January I signed Makena up for a dance class. A girl in our ward teaches and has a studio in her basment and was going to do a class for 2 year olds. At first it started out a little rough, all the girls would cry and cling to their moms and we were all wondering why we were doing this. But within just a few weeks the girls loved it and ran into class so excited. Here are some pictures of Makena with Teacher Amy and the girls in her class.



They had a recital on May 5th, Makena's class learned the "Wheels on The Bus" dance for the recital. It was darling, they all did so good. Shane and I were a little nervous about what Makena would do because at the rehersal she got on stage and cried. With all the other girls their doing their dances and so much excitment Makena couldn't wait to go on stage and she did the whole dance, no crying! I will put the video of it on here soon, but I need Shane to show me how so for now here are some pics of her in her cute costume and at the recital!






















We celebrated Makena's dancing debut with some yummy icecream after the recital! A star is born!! :)

Playing Catch Up...

Updating my blog has been moved way down on the priority list lately as things have been so busy. We have had some fun times over the past few months though so I thought I would share just a few things, especially for those of you out of state (namely Mandi & Cole and Jake & Whitney).

The weather has been crazy here the past few months, very cold and wet. We are so tired of the cold and are hoping so bad that spring will finally come to stay. We have had some nice days lately and have actually gotten a few things done in the yard but just when it seems like the warm is here its cold again. One day in mid April Makena and I looked out the window to find it snowing. We were both quite suprised, Makena immediately wanted to go get her beanie and put it on. So we did and went out on the porch to look at the snow.

Next thing I know she had convinced me to put on ALL our snow clothes and we were making a snowman. Makena just loved making the snowman, it was her first one and it was really so much fun! We had a great afternoon and she still to this day talks about her snowman! It was just a little weird that it was in April.



Our pregnancy is going great, we are so anxious to get this little girl here and meet her. Makena talks about her little sister often and is so cute about it. This is at the end of April, I am 20 weeks (5 months) along.

We had a really fun Easter, we dyed Easter Eggs with Makena the night before and she thought this was so fun. Her eggs turned out so cute and she was pretty proud of them.

Her new Easter dress!

The Easter Bunny brought Makena a new swimming pool and swimming suit!

We went to Grandma and Grandpa Wilding's for dinner and a fun Easter Egg Hunt.
