Dancers!

It was so much fun to go to Aubrey's school today for the Dance Festival. The Kindergarten did the Charleston and were sooo cute. Aubrey really go into it and remembered all of the steps. After the dance I decided to take some pictures (since I was video taping at the school and holding Maddie at the same time and didn't even get to use my camera). Isn't she adorable in her flapper outfit? I got a picture of Aubrey and her neighbor friend who was also in the dance, but wasn't her partner (they looked so cute in their costumes). Oh and I sewed the fringe on her shirt. Baking, sewing, cooking am I becoming Miss Holly Homemaker or what? Actually I am just really good at making it look that way. :)

Wheat Bread!

I ended up getting myself a wheat grinder for Mother's Day and today I used it to make homemade bread. Every time I think about homemade bread my mouth starts watering and I flash back to my childhood when my mom would make us her bread. I used to love watching the wheat turn into flour and then the flour turn into bread. It was fun watching my children have the same reaction as I made the bread today. I have made bread several times, but nothing compares to using freshly ground wheat. I think I have had about 4 pieces already and as I am writing this my mouth is watering again. I realized that I only had 3 pans in slightly different sizes and that is why the loaves are different sizes. MMMMMMMMMM bread!

Future Gymnastics Star!

Aubrey had her Gymnastics performance on Wednesday and did such a great job. It was set up just like a gymnastics meet which means they were able to perform on the balance beam, the floor, the bars, and the vault (I think that is what it is called). That is a lot of routines to remember and not once did her coach have to help her (I think she was the only one). We were all so proud of her. She says that she is done with gymnastics (for now) and is on to dance. If she stuck with it she could one day be a star. :)

Puppet shows!

After Aubrey goes to school each day Isaac gets pretty sad and lonely. In order to keep himself and the rest of us (my parents, Nick, and me) entertained a few days ago he decided to put on a puppet show. He turned the plano bench (piano bench) on it's side and told us the story of the 3 Little Pigs using stuffed animals (that were not even close to being pigs or a wolf). It was the cutest and funniest thing to watch . He loves to do things that make others laugh and is always there when someone is sad to cheer them up

Mommy Madelyn!

From the moment Maddie was born she has loved babies. She loves finding and making friends with other babies and playing with her baby dolls. She spends hours each day taking care of them. She rocks them, bounces them while saying shhhshhhshh, she feeds them with her bottles, and she gives them hugs and kisses. I think it is the cutest thing to watch and see her use her gift of caring for others.

Spring!

Okay I guess it was only Spring for like a week, but I LOVE this season and wanted to share a few pictures that remind me of Spring.

I love Tulips. Especially ones that look like these (and yes I actually grew these!).

Maddie in her cute yellow shirt and her white capris (given to her by her Grandma Darleen).

My sister sent me this picture that she took last weekend while at our house (the guy on the bottom is her boyfriend). She says they were just having fun and being kids! I think it is so cute!! Never a dull moment in the Moss home.
