Taekwondo, dance classes, and Gymboree OH MY!!

In January we started the kids up in dance, Taekwondo, and Gymboree!! After Preston's 3rd class he was moved up and he's now the youngest in the class.  He's excelling so much, we're so proud of him.  Sophia loves her dance class.  It's definitely mommy's most favorite day of the week.  Their studios are both at the mall and are back to back so the 3 of us spend the afternoon together and of course mommy spoils them with a treat after:)  Bentley has Gymboree on Thursday mornings.  Mommy loves her Bentley/mommy alone time and he asks for "Gymbo" the entire week leading up to class:)

OLIVIA LATELY..crawling, finger food, tooth coming and much more

Olivia loves swing rides, kisses, hanging upside down, her siblings saying "boo", crawling, her binky, and bath time.  When she drinks her bottle she puts both arms behind her head which is about the cutest thing in the whole world.  She's the most content baby ever.  She started going to bed around 6:30 and sleeps straight through 'til 9am or 9:30am.  She has one little toothy poking through on the bottom but you can barely see it.  She loves her little puffs for snack or mum mum's and she will smile at just about anything!! Olivia you are a dream baby and a dream addition to our family.  Your siblings are in awe of you.  Preston crawls on the floor with you and says "I want to crawl wif her mama".

Baptism photo

Our most cherished family heirloom is Great Grandpa's baptism gown. He was baptized in it as a baby in the early 1900's and then Nana Paola was baptized in it, then Mama was baptized it in in the 1970's, then ALL 4 of our kids were baptized in it.  We are amazed at how well it's held up although at Bentley's baptism it ripped a few times.  Thankfully Grandma was able to mend it.  Olivia's baptism is next month but we took a few pictures of her in the gown now just in case it doesn't fit then!! They came out so cute and really show the gown:)



Bath fun...

Olivia LOVES her bath time.  When you say "kick kick kick" she immediately gets a HUGE grin on her face and kicks her legs and splashes all over! We put her tub in our shower so Bentley can have a bath at the same time and she loves to watch him.  He makes funny faces at her through the glass and gives her a good giggle.




Father/Daughter Dance

Such a special night for Daddy and Phia.  They decorated cookies and danced the night away.  Phia sang "Roar" by Katy Perry in the microphone and cut a rug to "What does the Fox Say" and "Eye of the Tiger".  Spending the evening with her Prince is very special to our Phia and to Daddy too.
