Devine Family

Marigold, soon to be big sister Marigold! I am one delighted Grandma.

We had observation day for Pepper's dance class and it's probably one of the last ones that I'll go to with Olive. It's hard for her to stay still and not go and dance with Pepper. Pepper was hilarious as usual, in her own little world. She dances like a pro, very graceful, but not always doing what the teacher asks her to do. The other mothers kept laughing and glancing over at me and asking where she had learned those moves. I just shrug and wonder the same thing.

Here's our funny story for last week. Pepper's primary teacher is one of my friends and she'll tell me funny stuff that Pepper says in class. She asked the class if they had any stories on praying for help and how Heavenly Father helped them. Pepper raised her hand and said,"My brother and I made ships out of legos and I lost mine and went to my room and cryed." and did you pray for Heavenly Father to help you find it? "No, I just cried." Oh, well I bet that you mom came and gave you a hug and a kiss and helped you look for it though. "No, she told me to lose the attitude." Silence from the teacher. The week before that she told the teacher how I made her hair really ugly (curling disaster). Ahh to be a primary teacher and get all the dirt on other families :)

ty is plenty old enough to hold his own bottle, but he refuses so this is what we came up with :)

just a few pictures of the kids before church.
hope everyone had a fun weekend!
love you all!

we finally decided to tackle the potty training issue. and to our great surprise aurora figured it out the first time we put her in panties. we must have waited long enough b/c she totally got it right of the bat. i kept putting it off b/c i have a lot friends tell me all the horror stories that go along with potty training. i'm so glad it has been an easy process (knock on wood!).
anyway, the first two pictures were so funny. all of aurora's pants sag now b/c she doesn't have the big diaper to hold them up. she sat down for lunch and had no clue that her booty was hanging out. i started cracking up (get it?) and grabbed the camera.
and i figured i should get a couple pictures of them together. its been awhile since i pulled the camera out.
hope you guys are all doing well! only one more week zennie! woohoo!!
miss you all and love you!

well we have a neighbor downstairs that has a little girl in 1st grade and she has decided she is too old for all her barbie, princess, and doll stuff. so aurora has been the lucky recipient of all her old toys. her latest addition is a belle wig. she loves it and all she wants to do when she is wearing it is spin around. oh and she also got this princess nightgown from the girl downstairs. she wears it over her pj's and over her clothes during the day.
and the last two pictures are of aurora dancing to her wiggles dvd. and as you can see she is forcing ty to dance with her. actually though, he really does like to watch her dance. he gets all excited and smiley.
hope everyone is doing well!

here are a few pictures of christmas in missouri. the first is all the cousins in their christmas outfits. the second is of danny, me, jamie and bryan all dressed up, right before our fancy dinner date:) the third is of aurora just a couple days ago after danny found her playing in my makeup. and the last is ty with papa.
hope you are all doing well and thank you all for fasting for ty.
love you!
