Birthdays

Ariana turned 9 on the 14th of October, and it just completely scares me that next year she will be a pre-teen!!!! Anyway, the day of her birthday, we just had a cake for her and opened some presents, she got some movies, a new scripture case, a new bike, and a couple of gift cards, and of all of it, the gift cards were her favorite!! She had a ball shopping for what ever she wanted, (I wonder where she gets that from?) and felt so grown up being able to pay for the stuff herself, she bought some clothes, a couple more movies, and some little kits that have makeup, and little notepads and stuff in it. Then the next day we took her and one of her friends to a place called Li'l Biggs. It is kindof like a Chuck-e-Cheese, with pizza and games and they had a bunch of bounce house stuff.

Then , Sal's birthday was the 11th of November, and we just had a few friends over for dinner, then had cake, and yes, I put all 33 candles on the cake!!

Tycee for some reason had her vampire teeth in, and Mia was wearing one of my old dance dresses, I have no idea why, anyway, it was lots of fun!!

Swimming Lessons

Sal did some work for this Swim School, and in return they gave our girls some free Swim lessons. They absolutely loved it, even Mia was so excited to go to swim class every week. I was so amazed at how well she did, she just took right off and did everything the teacher wanted her to do.

Jumping in the water
Learning how to kick with legs up behind her

Learning how to hold herself and walk along the wall

and learning how to swim under water

Ariana and Tycee almost didn't even need lessons, they could already do everything they were being taught, they loved it anyway!!
