Natalie had her yearly kidney check and all is well! They want her to try and pee more often to not stress her kidney's. We bought a watch that vibrates every 3 hours to help her remember to go. So far so good!
We thought it would be fun to get together and have dinner and then go dress shopping for Jared and Michele's wedding! Lots of fun!
Julia found a dress!
Recently at Girl Scouts Julia's troop planted Basil.
One beautiful Sunday we headed out to Don's ranch to have a little fun!
First up, fishing!
Then a little horseback riding.
Followed by a fancy meal of hot dogs and smores!
Julia's first grade class is named The Kindness Crew. On this day they stood outside and gave everyone a high-five on their way into school. Too cute!
Julia drew this in art class and it cracked me up. It is her and Natalie on horses. Her's is in the front running and Natalie is yelling, "Giddy up" to her horse.
Natalie's Girl Scout Troop recently did a service project of donating items to a charity here in town. It just happened to be the charity Aunt Suzanne works at!
After that Natalie and I had a little lunch and then did a little shopping.
We also celebrated Jeff's 37th birthday!
Julia's asthma was bother her one night and I came out of my bedroom to see this.
This year we decided to set up the tree early. It was so much fun!

The girls also had a Thanksgiving music program. They looked beautiful!
The kids made kazoos and played them during a song. It was hilarious.
Julia also lost her 7th tooth!
And before we knew it Thanksgiving was here!
The made their gingerbread house!
Working hard in the kitchen!
Time to eat!
And then we played our turkey game!
Julia got "pick up something with your toes!"
Natalie's was to say something you were thankful for.
Jeff had to sing 3 lines of his favorite song. He had adorable back up singers.
After Thanksgiving we decided to hang lights on the house for the first time. Our house is tall...really tall!
The girls got a hold of my phone at Target and this is what I found.
Poor Julia fell down at recess and really got banged up!
I was trying to get a family photo for a Christmas card and it just didn't go as planned.
Natalie protested the photos by sticking a sticky note on her forehead. Goofball.
And after Christmas our elf, Sparkle, came back from the North Pole to make sure the girls are behaving! She left a little gift the first night. Jammies and lights for their rooms.
