Graduation '09

Meg's Kindergarten Graduation was today.  It was very cute.  We went to the school to hear all the kindergarten classes sing some songs, get their graduation certificates, and eat cookies!!  Grandma and Grandpa have a tradition of making Candy Leis for their grandkids who graduate Kindergarten & High School.  Meg forgot all about them, so when they had her close her eyes, she was SO EXCITED to get them.  Her favorite one was with Swedish Fish!  It was a very exciting day for Meg, but I think she is MOST excited that school is almost over . . . I think I might be in for the long haul since she is ONLY in Kindergarten :D

It's A . . . . . .

18 weeks has FINALLY come . . . so we found out today what we are having and we are THRILLED!!!  I told the girls when they went to school that I would have a suprise for them when they came home that was about what we were having.  We had them close their eyes when we brought the cake out!  Meg didn't know how to read it and thought it said happy birthday {my sister was over too, and today is her birthday}, so I think they got confused a bit.  But it was great fun!!  We are very excited to even things up a bit!  Here is a cute video of the heart beat and of him waving his fingers at us!

Just recently, a friend of ours in our ward came home from BYU-Hawaii for a week.  She dances at the Polynesian Cultural Center, and decided it would be fun to teach the girls in our ward how to dance while she was here.  

Prior to her coming her mom taught all the moms how to sew a Hawaiian Pau skirt and shirt for the girls to wear at class and at the performance.  

As soon as I was done sewing the skirts, the girls asked EVERYDAY when Nelli was coming home so they could  shake their hips!!!

They only had classes Monday-Wednesday for an hour a day, then performed for all us parents on Thursday!  It was too cute!  They LOVED every minute of it and are STILL singing and dancing weeks after!!  

So now the BIG talk in our house from the kids is that they are planning to "save" their hard earned money for ... HAWAII!!
