There's A LOT of things I've been wanting to blog about, I just didn't want to until I got all my pictures onto the computer, and it's taken me awhile to do that. Now there on so here you go.
First - Jamie is doing so good in softball, some days she really loves it and others not so much. I've really gotten some great compliments on how athletic she is, and that's always a joy to hear. Every now and then she hits the ball. She's doing better at not playing in the dirt the whole game, so that's good. We've had to bribe her with a toy from the dollar store though. It makes it that much more fun for her.
Second - Jamie graduated from Pre-school, crazy how time flies. I can't believe I have one girl going into Kindergarten, and my little Camrie starts Pre-school.
Third - Also Jamie. She got bit by something, and it got infected and so her arm swelled up from elbow to wrist. I took pictures of when it was completely swollen, but there not very good, you can't really tell, so I'm just posting the beginning of that fun. We took her to the doctor and they gave her an allergy medicain and that didn't do it, when it kept getting bigger and bigger they gave me an anit-biotic and it started healing right away thank goodness.
Fourth - Daddy (Colby) set up a garden box on the back porch, and that has been his and the girls little project. There having a lot of fun with it. All of our plants are doing really well. Colby let the girls help plant the garden and everything. The girls just love to go out with Colby everyday to water and see how the garden has grown. We've been able to eat some strawberries and rhubarb so far. Also, Daddy had just got done mowing the lawn and needed to take dirt to the back yard for the garden, so the girls got a fun little ride.
Fifth - Grandma Holmes has some dresses made for the girls that turned out so cute and the girls just love them. We let them pick out their favorite fabric and then went to a friend of Nancy's and she made them for us, and did a great job too. Jamie of course picked out leopard print, and Camrie wanted whatever Jamie had. They got to wear them to church on Sunday and they were so excited. We also got a stretchy t-shirt fabric that was pink, brown, and white camo, and they turned out more like pajamas, but there still really cute. The only time I can get them off the girls is when they get dirty and I need to wash them. Thank you Nancy. We love them.
Sixth - Grandma and Grandpa Holmes put a chicken coop in there back yard by the horses, it's all enclosed and the girls just love to hang out in it. We were at their house the other day and I was looking everywhere for them to tell them dinner was ready and sure enough they were out in the chicken coop. I told Nancy it was a great little babysitter. They have a lot of fun with it.
And Last - I like to try new hair do's on the girls, and I wanted to post a couple that turned out cute. Some are really quick and easy and some took me a bit longer.
Today is Jamie's first day of Kindergarten. I had to go in and wake her up at 7:00 this morning. She said she was still tired and I told her she needed to get up and get ready for school, she just smiled and then pulled the cover over her head. I didn't feel to bad about waking her up since she's usually the one waking me up at 7:00 in the morning. She got up ate her breakfast burrito, changed her clothes, got her hair done, brushed her teeth, took a few pictures, then at 7:50 we went in and got Camrie out of bed, had her go potty and put them in the jogging stroller with a nice warm blanket. The bus showed up about 10 after 8:00. It's a good thing we left at 8:00 because it took me five minutes to walk to the bus stop. There were a lot of kids waiting, but looks like Jamie is probably the only Kindergartner taking the bus in our neighborhood. I was glad to see Jolene and KennaRae, a couple of my ward friends waiting with their kids too. I hope Jamie has a super fun day today.
This picture is Colby and Jamie on their way to the sheep pens.
Colby and Jamie are waiting for her turn. There in the middle. Jamie with her white cowboy hat and pink shirt, Colby with his black hat and blue shirt.
Sharing a slushy with way to much juice. Better too much then not enough though. 
Thanks Nancy for taking a pic of Colby and me. 
I had to post this picture. I thought it was cute, even though she was sad. lol. We didn't want her running on the sidewalk with all the people walking on it, so she sat down.
Ron and Nancy ran into someone in their ward and her Grandson was in the mutton bust too. After she walked away Grandpa said, "you just have to beat him". lol. He was just teasing of course, but it was funny. Even funnier is that he's the boy that's up right before Jamie. That's my girl. I didn't film it that great, so I'll post Nancy's video too, she actually kept Jamie in the frame, and she's not moving around as much.
