June 2015

I'll apologize now that all the pictures were taken by me....and with my phone.  My mom fell and broke her wrist at the beginning of June and she gets her cast off tomorrow.  She's actually taken some photos this month, but can't edit them yet. Maybe I'll do an all pictures post once their done.  =)

I started the month by spending 4 days in Phoenix for Plexus Convention.  I joined the company last year right before convention and wasn't brave enough to go.  Even though it was out of my comfort zone I decided to go this year and I'm so glad I did!!  I learned a ton, met some new friends, and even got to see some family.  My awesome cousin let me stay with her and was my taxi driver for the week.  It was so good to see her and her brother and his family!!!  In case you're wondering the girls had a BLAST hanging out at home with Daddy...lots of fun stuff.  =)

 One I got back in town we have enjoyed play dates, parks, splash parks, and even swimming.  We've only gotten in the water twice. The first time neither of the girls was very excited.  They always forget over the winter how much fun swimming is.  The 2nd time went much better and we hope to get in at least once more before we start swim lessons.

We also enjoyed a week of VBS at church.  I worked in the music/story room again this year and had a blast!  Hannah was officially a participant this year and not just in childcare.  She had a great time and even made a new friend for the week.  Even though Abigail was in childcare she heard the same story as the big kids and did some music as well.  She is so funny though, everyday when I picked her up she would tell me her story but never any songs she sang or anything else she did.  This week she was playing by herself and was singing a song about a caterpillar.  I asked where she learned in at the told me Bible school and then she sang 2 other songs she learned.  Silly child told me she didn't sing during music time either because she wanted to learn all the words.  Goofball!!  She know them all now and sings them often.

One of our stories was Daniel and the Lions Den....this was Hannah's best "lion face."

We are still LOVING sweet Domino.  He is definitely a kitten and pounces everything and we're working on not biting too.  He gets so excited and wants to play, but doesn't realize how sharp this little teeth are.  He and the girls are getting more comfortable with each other.  Although we do have to remind the girls they don't need to pick up Domino and carry him around.  Thankfully he is a very tolerant cat and has never hissed or tried to scratch them.  He is my nap time companion and always curls up next to me while I work on the computer.  =)

This week is Preschool Music Camp, also at church.  Our theme this year is God's Little Love Bugs.....so cute!  Both girls are participating (and I"m working), but only the 4 and 5 year olds are learning the "musical."   The kids are doing a great job and their "performance" on Thursday should be adorable.  Abigail is having fun too even though she doesn't get to come to my room.  They go to their own music room to sing...though silly Abigail is just listening again.  =)  Two of Abigail's good friends are in her class as well as another Abigail and and Abbey.....so fun!

Meet Domino

Our little kitten came home a little over a week ago.  After much discussion and debate we decided to name him Domino.  He has 10 spots (5 on each side) a black head and tail.  His nose and ears have the most hair.  The rest of him is covered in a very fine layer of fur sort of like peach fuzz.  He feels a little like suede when you pet him.

The night Domino came home the girls were already in bed (but not asleep).  All his stuff is in the playroom which shares the same wall that Abigail's bed is on.  Domino was meowing as he checked out the room and we heard Abigail "meow" in response from her bed.  SO FUNNY!  Then when I woke her up the next morning she said "Mommy I heard the video of our kitty meowing last night."  When she came out and saw Domino she said "Oh it was Domino, not the video!"

Sweet baby seems to be adjusting fairly well.  He has started playing with some of his toys, his favorites are the laser pointer and a nano bug. Super cool toy! Domino hasn't had any issues, eating, drinking, or using his liter box.  He does like attention and will follow you around meowing if you aren't playing with him or if he's hungry.  If he is resting or sleeping then it's on one of us.  Total cuddle bug!!!  Thankfully he also likes his bed and blanket where he sleeps at night or while we are gone. We find him in there every morning.

Domino had his first bath (with us) on Sunday.  He was a little confused because he has only been bathed in the sink.  We put him in the girls old baby bathtub inside the regular bath tub.  Domino meowed some and tried to climb out a few times, but he didn't do any hissing or scratching.  I expect he'll get more comfortable as he gets used to our house.  And maybe someday we can just go in the bathtub with the girls.  =)

Needless to say we are IN LOVE!!  The girls enjoy having a pet and think it's hysterical to watch him play.  They also insist on giving him kisses before bed/nap.  I love that our kitty can sit on me or my furniture and there is no pet hair left behind.  And no one seems to be having any allergy issues.  YEAH!!

Better pictures coming soon.  My family came over to play last weekend and my mom got a few good shots. =)
