Tesila was "Star of the Week" in Kindergarten! She was so very excited!!
Dalia is a reader!! You can find her curled up reading books sometimes. Here she is reading the Book of Mormon Stories book, which she really likes to read.
Today Dalia tried out for the elementary school play Peter Pan by singing, "Never Smile at a Crocodile!"
P.S. The next day we found out she got in the play! She will be "Silvermist" the Fairy! She is very excited as am i! I am so proud of her confidence in herself. After try-outs Dalia said that she stood up straight and spoke loud and was confident and that she didn't have to read from the paper. She said you could barely hear the other kids and most of them had to read the paper.
Tesila has Super BEEhavior at school and got to bring Super Home for the weekend!

Rock modeling his outfit that he will wear to Aunt Jami's wedding!
Painting! Guess what color he insisted on painting with?! ONLY GREEN!!! His favorite color. Anything that is green he wants it. Doesn't matter what it is, it is green so he must have it!
My Tesa girl LOVES to paint. She asks to paint ALL THE TIME. And i don't let her paint enough.
Sunny day! We were able to play outside!

Grandma & the kids spend a lot of time coloring! Grandma was in Heaven, she loves to color & draw, and loves to spend time with her grandbabies!! She drew Rockwell's rescue bot boulder A LOT! As that is what he requests every time he sits down to color.
We played Dalia's new Balance game!

We but on a "Goldilocks and the 3 Bears play", just the 5 of us. Brian was at work and Rock was playing around somewhere. Someday if you are lucky maybe I will upload the video. Grandpa was "Papa Bear", Grandma was "Mama Bear", Dalia & Tes were "Baby Bears", and Britni was "Goldilocks". Tes and Dalia set everything up and planned our costumes.
Later we went to Howarth Park. It was COLD, but it wasn't raining! Grandpa played with the girls on the playground and pushed them on the swings.
G&G took the 3 kids on a hike to the beach while Britni drove the car down to the lower parking lot and met them at the beach.

After the beach we met Brian at the Tokyo Wok for dinner.
One of our favorite beaches and places to eat in the same day, lucky!
At home G'ma made Tesila a poster Gum Wall. Tes wants to have a Bubble Gum Party and mentioned the Gum Wall in Seattle. We decided we could make our own gum wall at home. So tonight we started chewing gum and sticking it to the wall. In one month she will have her birthday party and her friends can add to it. Stay tuned for the after Gum Wall.
Rock had fun cuddling with G&G I thought he mind stay there for the night.
