Hula girl

Here is Ame all ready for Hula Class. She was in another class for a short time, when we lived in Orem, but then we moved so she hasn't taken for a while. We started her again, when we moved up here, in what seems to be a better class. The class is actually in Layton, so it is at least a 20 minute drive, which some days causes a bit of a challenge with traffic and picking quinn up from work. Also, somedays we have to bribe her cause she is being lazy and she says it is hard to practice and she gets too tired. I really hope she begins to enjoy it and will continue for a long time. She could just be soo cute! And more importantly she could gain something that is very unique and hopefully one day she will take pride in.

Reasons to Celebrate

We had some GREAT reasons to celebrate this weekend! First, Daddy came home on Friday night. The kids were soo excited. Unfortunately we arrived at the airport late because of course we got stuck in traffic, where we just sat and inched for like 45 minutes. Talk about wanting to rip your hair out. Finally we made it and it was all worth it!
Then on Saturday night, the kids cousin Ella (Stephanie, from Lazytown, above) had her traditional Halloween Birthday party. It is always fun to get together with family-for food, fun, and lots laughter!
ps-I don't know how much better the wig made Ame's costume. Mostly, because it only stayed on for about 30 minutes. Either it was falling off cuz it was too heavy or she was taking it off cuz it was too itchy. Mom has decided next year we a picking a real easy, simple costume!
But Mulan is still our little princess!!
