What's on your calendar?

What's on your calendar? This is a glance at ours...
What fills it?
Gymnastics ~ fills part of Wednesdays on our calendar.
"I LOVE my nymnastics!" "There's MY nymastics, I'm so so cited mama!" Livia has so much fun at gymnastics - front rolls, backwards rolls, hanging on the bar and walking on the beam. With the best part - stamps! On her legs, arms, feet, hands. Taa Daa! It has taught her how to wait in line, listen to instructions, patience and feeling special. It's something that she does with just Mom and in our family, doing something one-on-one isn't a common occurance.


Yes, the leotard is getting a little small - hence the underwear showing. She's just growing up so fast.
Ready for a roll mama?


See the stamps? It's hard getting her to wash them off - or covering them up. She doesn't want to "hide" them.
Makynna enjoys Sparks (Awana) on Wednesdays. We go to our friends' church (Jody and Elliana) for supper and then Makynna and Elliana go to Sparks with Jody (she teaches). They learn bible verses and plays games. She has a blast!
Hockey ~ is pretty much a daily occurance on our calendar. Practice, dryland and games. It has been part of our life since John turned 4 - when I thought he might as well join hockey...nothing else to do in the winter for his age. 11 years later... We have met a lot of great families, visited places in Minnesota we probably wouldn't have and spent some quality time together. The girls have grown up in the rink and Livi wants to play hockey like her "brudder".


Dance ~ fills our Tuesday nights.
Makynna has been in Just for Kix dance, since she was 3. Now, at 27 months Livia has started as well.
Livi is the youngest in her class, they are supposed to start at 2.5 years - but the teacher said that she could try. She would sit and copy Makynna's moves while she practiced and I already had her outfit from Makynna from when she was that age. The pictures below are from the Winter Show in December. Livi, my strong-willed, independent, sometimes subborn daughter would not let me put her hair up and would not wear the headband that they were supposed to wear. I, personally, was worried about her not wanting to dance in front of a crowd so I didn't press the issue. She did very well.

"Liv, one more picture?" **I guess that was a no.**
Livi's first peformance.

Makynna loves dance too! She's loves to be in front of the camera too.

Well that's a glance at what's on our calendar. It may seem busy, but we enjoy it. :) :) :)
