Dive Team

So we have been working on dive this summer, we get up and go to practice every morning at 8:00. Then on Saturdays we have meets. Darby had to miss our first one because of her broken arm but she has done pretty well. We've learned to do front flips, back flips, back 1/2 twists, front dives and back dives. We practice at home using the ottomans as our diving board so Jo gets in on the action too. It has been fun to learn a new sport. Darby and I have a pretty colorful wall of ribbons from our meets. We both qualified to got to finals but we headed to Sherwood Forest instead! Maybe next year!

Our Whole SADEJS Reidhead Family

The 4 most beautiful girls ever!

Newborn Bye Bye

We thought that this outfit that Mom bought for Shelbie to come home in was really funny. The tag says 'new born 5-9 lbs' so I guess she'll just be wearing this outfit once. We're just glad that we were smart enough to buy 3 month outfits for her.

Our New Little Sister Shelbie

Our little sister isn't so little, she was a whole 10 lbs 15 oz when she was born. Mom says that's like 11 pounds that's bigger than the sack of potatoes I have to carry from the back of the van into the house. We really don't care though we still think she is stinken cute!

S.A.R.A

Okay so we have no idea what S.A.R.A stands for but it is a diaper changing robot. I had to create it for a school project in Mrs. Barra's class. We had a blast making her yarn hair, corsage, noodle arms and her diaper pocket. Thanks Mom, Dad, and Aunt Allee for helping me get my project completed.

Happy 1st Little Monkey

Me first birthday!!!! Mom made me a monkey cake because my sisters always call me Little Monkey. I think it has something to do with the fact that I like to climb and eat bananas.

A Great Day

Some days don't you just love to dress up to go out! Today I decided to put on my best to go across the street and play in the field. I sang, I danced, I played in the fort. I can honestly say it was a great day.

Crazy Summer Fun in February

Saturday we went on this really long bike ride. On our way home we passed the pool and Darby and I decided we'd really like a dip in the pool (no it's not heated). Mom said that if we just jumped in, no testing the water, we could go. So we road home got our swimsuits and our towels and headed to the pool. I know swimming in February what are we thinking. Well, I kind of forgot how to swim the first time I jumped in, check the video it explains it all. However, after our first dunk we swam for 45 minutes, Mom made us get out because it was getting dark. Boy was she smart, a few more minutes and we would have froze on our way home. When we walked in the door it was about 7:00 PM! It was fun and CRAZY.

My First Grade Program

We Got Our Craft Allergies Taken Away

Man I need to find some better pictures of me! I really just wanted to share with all of you how unfair my mother is! The other day she took away all of our scissors, pens, pencils, markers, papers, glue, you name it she hid it. She called it taking away our privileges, I call it grounding. When I suggested to her that if she could take our privileges away for not taking care of our stuff we should be able to do the same to her. The conversation went like this, "Mom, I think if you don't take care of all the stuff in the kitchen your food allergies (privileges) should be taken away!" After she looked at me totally confused, then laughed, and said I don't think so. I don't get it, why can we get our privileges taken away but not hers.

Emery

Do You Think It's Worth It

Okay so I thought I was already to get this tooth pulled (my first tooth). Grandma Kathy offered 5 whole dollars if I would let her pull it. I tried to be sooo brave but dang it, teeth pulling hurts. In the end I think it was all worth it.

Now I have a HUGE HOLE in my head!!!

Goof Who?

Grandpa Papason came to town and we went goofy golfing. We had a blast enjoying the great weather and hanging with our family. We sat in the large ant hole, hole because Dad thought they would be some really cute pictures. So here are our really cute pictures.

My Battle Wound Three

Okay so I started to put pictures but they were a bit graphic but, that won't keep me from telling you all about it. We were playing dress up one night. Darby and I would change clothes and come show Mom, Dad and Jo. I had got into the little bathroom to change, you know the one Mom has decorated all "African". Well I had just put back on my nightgown, and went to turn off the light when that stupid little elephant decided he didn't like me in his way and he poked my bum bum with his tusk. Can you believe that? He even drew blood. I screamed so Mom and Dad would come and give him the talking to of his life but they got there and just started laughing. Needless to say all of us girls look pretty funny. I can't sit, Jo has sores everywhere, and Darby has stitches!

Emery

If Darby Can Show Her Battle Wounds I Can TOO

Okay so Darby thinks she knows pain! She has no idea. You should have seen the crap I got. It was like viral cold sores coated my mouth, then spread to my fingers and even a couple of spots on my head. Thankfully, the doctor gave me some good pain killer, I think Mom would have had my hide if not. Even though it was really contagious no one else got it, whew!

Josie

Don't Play Ball in the House

Yea, yea I know Mom has told me a gazillion times to not play ball in the house but when Dad is wanting to play it's really hard to not play. I went for a ball and my feet went one way my chin when the other and I hit it on the tile floor. Mom asked Sister Rassmussen our neighbor to watch the other girls and they (Mom and Dad) took me to an urgent care by our house. I received some good pain killers and 7 stitches. I'm still debating whether or not I want a scar it would be a cool battle wound but I might not like it so much on my wedding day.

Darby

Pose!

Walk Walk Walk Pose, Okay so maybe we've been watching America's next top model a bit much but just look at our best photo this week, okay for at least tonight anyway!

And our small group shots!

Dance Dance

Today was my dance recital. We have the neatest teacher, we get to play all sorts of games. My favorites is monsters. We walk around on our tip toes while the dragon is asleep (lights off) so we won't wake him. But he wakes we have to fun to the corner. It's a good way to practice walking on our toes.

Carving Contest

We went to the pumpkin patch down on Power and found pumpkins then we had a pumpkin carving party. I choose to make a silly one (with mom's help) Darby wanted a scary one and Emery, well I'm not quite sure where she got her inspiration.

Yummy Pumpkins

Who says kids don't like pumpkin?

I'm just so cute

I just had to share with you how cute my parents think I am, look how many pictures they took in one sitting!

You'll notice mom got my hair in to a ponytail! I finally look like a little girl!

Riding Bikes

Saturday was so much fun. Dad told us that since I finally learned to ride my bike with no tears, and no training wheels that we could take the 2 mile ride (1-way) to the dog park! I was so excited, I didn't even complain the whole time. Mom had to take Jo in the trailer and she fell asleep it was so cute!

Emery

Mother-Daughter Princess Party

While I was at school mom took Emery to Saver's to find some princess outfits! I got this new black skirt and Emery got a Belle dress. We got to put on make-up, and wear mom's jewelry. Mom even let me wear a tiara. Mom said she was to fat to be anything but a Hawaiian princess but I think it makes her look fun. We had fun making cupcakes, and reading princess stories.

Darby

UGHH

Aren't we cute! We love being three sister who get to dress alike.
