Dance

I signed Taylor up for a dance class offered at the rec center months ago and it finally started this last week.  Taylor was sooooooooooo excited to go, but was a little hesitant to go into the class.  Before class she told me that she didn't want me to stay and watch, but that story changed quickly when we got there.  Unfortunately, the room that they have the class in is not big enough for spectators so I can't stay and watch. I tried bribing her with ice cream and everything else under the sun, but I finally had to gently push her into the room as the teacher shut the door!  I watched through the window for a few minutes and within a couple she had forgotten all about me!!  This is the best picture that I got, pathetic I know, but here is Tay's first day of dance!

Oh and the first thing out of her mouth when Jordie and I came to get her..."Are we going to get ice cream??"  So of course we got ice cream cones and as you can see, Jordan thoroughly enjoyed hers!

Kite Flying - Canning - and Bunk Beds

 Rob found a kite at Smith's for $1 and had to get it for Taylor.  The other night there was a little wind and so Rob and Taylor set out to do some kite flying!  Taylor REALLY wanted to make the kite fly, but Dad was having too much fun trying to make it fly.  In the end, they got a couple of good flights and then gave up.  Taylor still asks when she'll get to fly her kite next.

 Rob's parents have a pear tree and this is our second year harvesting those pears and making pear sauce.  We have just about mastered the process...which you can tell is quite the production.  I had to take a picture of everything that is going on!  Pears on the counter ready to be steamed, pears on the stove steaming in the black pot, the saucers attached to the counter, trash ready for the skins and cores, oh and the already sauced pears in the silver pot that was on top of the griddle which keeps it warm!
 I have to include this pic of Jordie.  This was on our way to Wyoming last week.  This girl doesn't need anything but a diaper to keep her happy.
 We broke down and bought the girls bunk beds!  Taylor is in 7th heaven in her "loft" and Jordan is still getting used to the bottom bunk.  Taylor has to stick her head over the side and reassure Jordan that she is there each night before Jordan will settle down and go to sleep!!  In the daylight, though, you can see that Jordan loves their new "jungle gym."
