Look at these kids. Could they be any cuter? Love them!

Several weeks ago LittleZabba and I went with Auntie to Pretend City. We had a great time. The kids can really pretend to be so many things; a farmer, doctor, waitress, grocery store clerk, even a dancer. It was so fun to see LittleZabba run from room to room with her eyes so filled with excitement. If it wasn’t so far away we would definitely visit Pretend City more often. Thanks Auntie for the invite!

I have this photo above my desk. I can’t help but smile when I look at it. My girls are so fun. They make my heart happy.

Tonight at 8:18pm LittleZabba turned 4 years old. She is such an awesome little girl. She is sweet and sassy all wrapped in sugar. That kid does something to my heart. Those eyes, that smile, she makes me melt.

Happy Birthday LittleZabba. You are a delight to my heart.

This weekend we celebrated LittleZabba’s birthday. We had her party at the gym where the girls take gymnastics. It was such a fun party. It was so fun to see all the kids having fun and truly enjoying themselves. I think we took nearly 3.5 gigs of footage during the 2 hour party. It is a very well documented evening!

Here are some photos from the night. Enjoy!

Today I am jealous of my children. Today they started lessons of something I have always wanted to do….gymnastics. It was even their idea, I did not even plant the seed in their minds. They were super excited to start class, but the icing on the cake was that their uniform for class has rhinestones on it. They were thrilled to have a sparkly class outfit.

They had such a fun time and were so excited throughout the entire class. Both girls did very well. They had a little time on nearly all the equipment, and even started learning cart wheels. I think they are really going to enjoy this. To quote LittleZabba, “I want to live here.” On the way home BigZabba explained to me why it would be good if we had a room in our house that had all the same equipment in it, then she could practice and be even better next time.

See how crazy high LittleZabba is. She had so much fun flying. She wanted to do it again and again.

BigZabba did great on the balance beam. After only a short time she was able to walk the length without any help. She even did some extra steps, “ice cream scoops” the teacher called it. She is learning very fast.

BigZabba said,

The only think I didn’t like was how fast it went. If it had been boring and not fun it wouldn’t have gone so fast.

They can’t wait until next week!

After LittleZabba said some unkind things to BigZabba I tried to have a talk with her about only using kind words.
Why did you say such mean things to your sister?

I don’t know, but can I tell you how it happened? The nice words are in the back (pointing to her tongue) and the mean words are in the front, so they come out first.

LittleZabba loves taking pictures. Several times each day she asks for the camera so she can take a photo or two or 87. Here are two of my favorites from her most recent photo shoot. Someday this kid is going to be famous. These will be worth millions!

Bonus points if you can tell me where we were. I bet DFM knows.
