Finishing 2011 highlights

 

 
 
 




Saydee is obsessed with the violin.  Heath used to play when he was young and taught her how to hold it and play a few notes.  For months after we'd catch her pretending to play on a hanger.  It was adorable and finally I caught her on camera.  Thought about starting lessons but we'll see. 

 
One evening we had dessert with some friends. Saydee left upset because they had "shiny rocks" outside their house and apparently we do not. Heath told her that we have shiny rocks too, but our's are just dirty and need to be cleaned. So for two days straight the girls scrubbed the rocks/gravel in our driveway using a toothbrush and dishsoap. They spent hours scrubbing without getting bored. Heath is a genuis!

Saydee's 5th birthday.  She and Elli made rainbow cupcakes.  We had a party with lots of little friends and I of coarse forgot pictures again.  They had a blast.

As always Tyson was greatly missed by all of us during the school year.  But it was a good year.
