Our little gymnast

Cora had her first gymnastics class (or movement mania as they call it) today. She did so good. There were four little girls in her class and they all had a blast! It's so cute! They set up little circuits that the kids would go through...here are some pictures.

This was a maze they were supposed to go through. Cora kept trying to put the peices together.

Climbing through the tunnels...

Climbing up the ladder...(she's really concentrating).

Jumping...

Walking on the balance beam....

All the girls thought the balloons were the most fun...

They were all so cute...

Jumping on the trampoline...this was Cora's favorite!

Then they all brought the balloons over to the trampoline...they had a blast!

Cora got a smiley face stamp at the end of class...

You can see the pool in the background of some of the pictures. After her gymnastics class, we went to the pool area to say hello to a friend. Her daughters were having lessons then, and Cora kept trying to strip down so that she could go swimming...she LOVES to swim, so I know she will enjoy taking lessons. I'm thinking of signing her up for that as well...I just don't know where yet. There are a couple of places here that offer lessons for her age. I will keep you posted on what we decide.

Oh...and she starts soccer next week! I will definitely post pictures of that as well!

Camping at Hyalite

Since Tad is officially on shift now and didn't have to work on Monday, we decided to go camping Sunday night to celebrate. We didn't have the best weather, and we found out our tent doesn't hold up well in the rain (it's in the trash now), but we had a great time! Here are some pictures...

This is Hyalite Lake...we camped just before this...

The dogs LOVE to camp...or do anything with us that involves being outside...

Cora sat on the stump to watch her dad split wood...

I know this looks like she's really good at rubbing her tummy and patting her head at the same time, but she felt a rain drop from the tree...she said "rain, mommy".
She figured the wood daddy chopped made a good seat...

Awe...this is the life...

and she's out...

Our little campsite...we were throwing rocks in the creek...

The dogs kept trying to fetch them...it was very entertaining...

Cora wanted to put all the flowers in her hair...

Ok, so somehow Cora learned how to pee in the woods...lol...she said "tee tee, mommy" and this is what she was doing! I just hope she doesn't try this anywhere but camping! Oh, the joys of potty training. :)

She loved playing on this log...

Tad probably didn't catch any fish because someone kept thowing rocks in the water...

Who could it be?

Not her? :)

I had to laugh, because only Tad would put this much effort into building the perfect fire!

Cora loved "swinging" in the hammock...

Some Random Pictures...

Since I haven't updated in a while, I thought I would just add some random pictures we have taken over the last couple of weeks...

This is how Cora fell asleep for her nap today... and after our trip to Costco, she dragged this huge thing of toliet paper into her bedroom, put her pillow on it and laid down to read a book (upside down, might I add)...
Trying to work on the computer like mommy does...

She was covering her babies up... and reading them a book...Riley makes such a good pillow...

She loves her new "night night dress"...

I think she learned this from Tana...

Climbing on the new recliner...

She is so full of personality...she cracks me up all the time!

Pool, Sand and Playdough

We went over to our friends' house to play...here are some pictures! Cora and Payton are great friends and play so good together.
