Our Drama Queen

Around our house there is a lot of drama--a lot of loud drama. Much of the drama can be traced back to Abby, and Eric has affectionately called the frequent drama episodes as "The Abby Show." Many times we need to remind her to harness "The Abby Show." So when I found out about "Adventures in Acting" camp I knew this would be a great way for Abby to unleash "The Abby Show" in an appropriate environment, time, etc. Of course "The Abby Show" had "stage fright" for the first half of the week, but I could see none of this "stage fright" during her little performance today. It was so fun to see her use her imagination and at times lead her class. I'm hoping she'll continue to like theatre. In my opinion Abby and drama just go hand in hand!

Numbers Two and Four

I recently took my numbers two and four, aka Will and Evy respectively, to get their portraits taken as Will just turned six and Evy is now 7 1/2 months old. I really wanted to get Evy's taken at six months of age, but sometimes life just gets in the way! In a perfect world, I like to get my children's portraits taken at one, three, six, nine, and twelve months of age. After the first year, I take them every six months until they turn two and then at every following birthday. I love to see how much they change over time, and I'm a total sucker for pictures/portraits.

The studio I have been taking the children to since we moved to Utah, Fotogenix, was offering a blog cd with a minimum purchase (which I, of course, met). As I post pics of my evens, here is a little rundown for each:

Will:

*Mr. Lego Man loves Legos, loves to build his own planes/spaceships/cars and loves to build sets from Space Police, Indiana Jones, Agents, etc., loves if they have at least 500 pieces!

*Mr. Sweet Man loves to give hugs, tell me I'm the best mommy in the world (ha!), and tickle my arm when I'm starting to lose it.

*Mr. Bug-my-Little-Brother does just that. Period. All day.

*Mr. Cyclist enjoys riding his bike without training wheels.

*Mr. I'm Hungry has a hollow leg. Where does all the food go? He's been known to eat two Costco hot dogs and a 1/2 slice of their pizza for lunch!

*Mr. Reading enjoys reading everything he sees.

*Mr. X-box 360 can't get enough of Lego Star Wars.

*Mr. Silly likes to be just that!

*Mr. Would Love to. . . take Karate, go to Legoland, play in water all day.

*Mr. Science/Bug Man loves to ask, "Why?"

*Mr. Eager-to-Please

*Mr. Friends galore

*Mr. I'm-Settling-into-my-Own Skin

Evelyn:

*Miss I like to smile

*Miss I'm Mommy's easiest baby so far (Please stay that way!)

I'm so grateful for these two lovies!
