Animals, Dancing, etc.


The girls and I are hanging out this weekend while Tucker made a (very short) trip to Utah for the blessing of Maren and Greg's little baby Brock. It's hard to have him gone at this point in my pregnancy, but it meant a lot to him to go. Plus he doesn't get to see his family much, so I'm glad he could do that (but did I mention it's hard???).

We have officially transitioned our cat and dog from inside pets to outside pets. I just had to make that decision before the baby comes. The animal hair, the digging up our carpet and incessant meowing of the cat and licking of the dog were all becoming a little overwhelming when I pictured having a newborn around. I started having thoughts of getting rid of the animals...but I didn't really want to do that (and the kids would NOT want that) so this was a compromise. They actually seem to get MORE attention from the girls now that they're outside, and after a few days of confusion, they actually seem quite content. They have beds and food and we are no longer in the ridiculous heat season, so it's all working out fine. Tucker even lets Belle come inside to watch TV with him on occasion.

The girls are obsessed with princesses and singing and dancing (have I ever said that before?!) and try to mimic all their princess/Barbie movies. Here's a cute clip of Lexi doing just that (it can literally occupy them for hours!).

Wow, what a little balerina you have! That was such a cute video -- thanks for sharing! You really think of everything before having this baby -- smart idea getting the animals outside! The girls are so cute!
