Ready for Spring!!!

I am beginning to wonder if perhaps we might skip spring this year... The last couple of mornings it has been snowing lightly and I feel like crawling back in bed and not coming out until ALL of the snow is melted and I can leave the house wearing flip flops:) When I listened to the radio and they said that it was only 11 degrees outside I began planning for next year for a trip to Arizona... What do you think Annie and Jonathan can we come visit you the months of February, March and April:)
On a brighter note I love Tuesdays... Today was my second week of a new dance class I am taking. A lady from my ward invited me to come to the class which consists of several ladies some of whom have never danced some like me who have danced a little and some who have danced a lot. We just have fun and I am absolutely loving all the different styles we have done. So far we have learned African, modern, lyrical and next week will be hip-hop! The lady who teaches has a studio connected to her home and lives a couple of miles from me so it works out perfect because it is from 8 to 9 so I get my girls all ready for bed and then Ruffin's sister Kami (who is SO super sweet to watch them) reads them a couple of stories and they are asleep!!
Some of you may be thinking Gracee asleep after a few stories but its true:):):) As long as she does NOT take a nap she will go to bed between 7:45 and 8:00 and wake up at 8am. However if she takes a nap even for 15 minutes she is completely wired and we are lucky to get her to bed by 10:00. Emme on the other hand always loves to sleep... The last couple of days she has been taking a three hour morning nap, a two hour afternoon nap and to bed at 8 o'clock. I know that much sleep isn't normal for a 15 mo. old (I'm totally not complaining!) I think she must be growing!
This is a rather random all over the place post so I will share some random pictures from the last few days...
Gracee is my new little running partner... Some mornings while Emme takes her nap we run in front of our house. This is a great workout for me and a great way for Gracee to use some of her energy.I remember when I was little I loved to play with my shadow... Ok I admit I still love to play with my shadow and so does Gracee!When we got home from the Grocery store I had to take care of Emme for a minute and Gracee was so proud of herself for helping put away the groceries. She was obviouly putting them on make believe shelves:)I love my little Girls! They are both so much like me it isn't funny... When I was a teenager my mom said to me "I hope you have a daughter just like you someday." I of course said "I hope I have 5." One last picture... These bows were an experiment so they turned out a little (A LOT) BIG! It didn't matter to Gracee she loved it anyway and looked in the mirror and said "oh mom me look so pretty!" So she wore hers to church and so did Emme! I'm sure this is one of those pictures that when they are older they will look at it and say "WHAT in the world did you make us wear."
The mini bazaar went Great and thanks for your sweet comments! I am setting up a blog that will have some better pictures of my bows and ALL the colors that I can make them in. And as for the name of my little bow business... The Pink Bow. I have named it this because no matter what Gracee is wearing when we go to pick out a bow and I ask her which one she wants she will usually say very enthusiastically "THE PINK BOW!"

Burrrrr. I got a chill just seeing all that snow. Or maybe it was the cold air from the AC vent? Of course you can visit anytime for as long as you want. We can't wait to visit in May. I just hope all that snow is gone by the time we get there.

Congrats on the craft fair going so well. Your dance class sounds like lots of fun. Maddy's comp is Sat in IF if you still want to come. I also heard you ordered your first blurb book, I can't wait to see how it turned out.

This is definitely one of those times when Jonathan didn't need to check with me to make sure it was okay. OF COURSE you can come to visit anytime (not just when it's cold in Idaho). Cute girls! We're so excited for May.
