Kaleigh's Dance Recital

Kaleigh had her dance recital this last week. Cute little stinker danced amazingly and was a ball of energy for the rest of the night.

five more mouths to feed!

As some might know I have been talking for a while about building a coop and getting chicks in the hopes of becoming a little more self reliant and creating a situation where my children could have some responibiliites in the hopes that one day this little lesson could totally blossom and they become the most amazingly responsible people in the world. Well, who knows if they will actually be responsible but for my sake I hope they will be. we are just about finished with the coop and so today I picked up the 2 week old chicks. They are definately a hit in our house. We got five chicks and each of us were able to pick a chick that is ours and name it. So, Hagen named his Jared, wonder where he got that name. Kaleigh named hers Diamond. Sidney's is Patches. Jared and I named ours Ralph and Quackers. Since Orem has a no rooster ordinance I told Hagen that Dad would have to kill and eat it if the chick all of a sudden turns into a rooster. Then Hagen said very sadly, "No, then Dad would turn into a rooster." I just had to laugh about that comment.

Kaleigh's Kindergarten Program

Kaleigh is just about finished with Kindergarten. She started Kindergarten not knowing how to do much of anything and she now knows how to read, write lots of words, add/subtract, and lots of other stuff that would probably fill up this whole page if I kept going. On April 28th Kaleigh sang with her class for all the parents and for her Grandma and Grandpa Smith. She did great! Kaleigh with Grandpa & Grandma Smith
