Molly's first dance recital

My skinny little, birdlegged girl!! This was her dance costume that she wore for the Christmas recital. She loved getting all dolled up and wearing the make-up. I didn't know how she would react to it all since she is so not a princessy kind of girl and super shy. I didn't even know if she would go on the stage to perform. I was so proud of her and it was so fun to get her ready for the recital. I have to share the adorable pics of her in her costume!!

Our hole

Our lot before they dug the hole. The one that is being dug is my in-laws. Yep we're building next to each other. It'll be nice!



Look at all that dirt!!

It is so nice to see the hole there and the footings in. It isn't much, but it is something. It makes me feel like we are so much closer to being done. It'll be nice to see it all come together.

We done did get a hole dugged today!!

So, FINALLY!!!! We go a hole dug today. There is proof that there will sometime soon, be a house the piece of property we own. I took tons of pictures of the mounds of dirt, but Jeff is doing bills on our computer, and I can't get the pics uploaded. I'll have to do it on tomorrow's blog entry. You would not believe the mounds of dirt that are made by digging holes for houses right next to each other. It is crazy!! Too bad it is so cold and that the ground is so muddy, because I think the kids would have a huge blast playing on the mounds of dirt. I can guarantee that the kids will have plenty of time to play in the dirt once we are in the house. We won't be getting a yard in anytime soon. I really think that all this blogging-every-day thing will prove is that I am pretty boring!!

Confessions of a Crappy blogger

Halloween with the cousins

So, it is true! I am a Crappy blogger! I did pretty good until we moved, but still, I was starting to fall into crappy blogger syndrome before the move happened. I am trying to reform myself and become an awesome blogger, but no promises! I am going to try to blog every day, at least for a while.

So many funny things happen in this Huffaker-Huffaker-White house, that it would be a shame not to share. Some of the things that have happened, we could not experience in a home of our own. ie: Gabe was throwing a fit one morning about his cereal, so, grandma went outside and got him a bowl of snow. That put an end to it. Gabe has, also, enjoyed learning how to feed the birds. For a while, he was going out each afternoon with grandma, to feed the blue jays peanuts. He and grandma would stand still with peanuts on their hands so that the blue jays could get to know them. It was cute to watch. Another thing that happened was, grandma fell down outside in the snow. She was all by herself and couldn't get up because everywhere she pushed with her hands, she'd sink. Finally, after alot of trying, she got up. When she came in the house, Gabe said to her "I saw you out there, grandma. You looked funny."
Today, we went down to see the holes being dug for our house and the white's house. As I was explaining things to the kids, Molly had an ah-ha moment. She said, mom this is going to be so easy. I was confused. Building this house is going to be easy? No, when we live in our house, we can just walk over to Brayden's house. We won't have to drive. It will be so easy. It was great to see her face while she was so proud of herself for making such a great discovery.

Silly Random Pictures

These Pictures just make me laugh!! I thought I would share in hopes to brighten your day.

Molly's bug bites

Day #1.......Molly woke up with a swollen eye while we where camping. Turns out, she had gotten three bug bites around that eye the night before. Poor thing!!!! She would have to tip her head up to be able to see out of the one eye because she couldn't get the one eye open enough to see out of.
Day #2.....getting a little better. It took about 4 days to really go down. Then, the whole thing peeled off once it got back to normal.

Kate's Hiding Place

We have this little corner in our kitchen that all of the kids have enjoyed playing in. Kate, most recently, has discovered this spot. She loves to hide in the corner and open the door to the cupboard so that all you can see are her piggy toes. She'll open the door and roar at you and then just giggle at her game. She gets upset when her brother or sister occupy her spot and promptly removes them from "her place". It is so cute to watch. I had to take pictures to share how cute it is.
