Kara and I made this adorable tutu together. It was fun and really simple to make. I totally plan on making more of them with her as soon as I get to the fabric store. I was trying to get her to put on some shorts under it, but she refused. It was kinda funny. at least she had on tights and underwear with it! she later took it off when some relief society ladies were over, and just came downstairs in the shirt and tights!

She has been begging to take another ballet class, but I want to wait til the summer. I told her she can take a swim class again, and now she asks me about it every day after school. I need to remember to get her signed up soon.
At preschool, they had a story book party. They brought in a book at the beginning of the week, and then on friday, they all dressed up like a character from their book. Wal-mart had this cute elmo costume on clearance for $3, so I sent in a sesame street book with her.
She wore it around for several days right after we got it.
Poor Kiersten was so jealous! who wants to dress up like a princess when big sister gets to dress up like the great elmo?
Kara loves showing off her new clothes she got for her birthday. This is the pose she does when she's trying to look "lovely". It's the funniest thing.
and of course, one of her famous funny faces!
She even asked me to get a picture of her on my lap. Good thing my camera has a timer so I can cave in to her demands. ALthough I had to be talked into it, I really do like this picture, and I'm sure it's one I'll always love looking at.
Kiersten is waking up with crazy hair-do's just like Kara used to. I love that she is following in Kara's hairy footsteps. Well, with the exception of the curls Kara always had, but Kierstens hair is adorable in it's own straight, messy way.
I went back for the cookie monster costume so they could dress up together. Kiersten was thrilled to get to be elmo! A few days ago I was in wal-mart, and these are not on clearance any more. Maybe the ones they have now are slightly different or something, but I'm glad I got these on clearance when I did. The costumes like this are $15 now!
I just love these pictures I took yesterday morning of the girls dressed up like a king and queen. Kara is lucky to have a little sister who will just go along with whatever she wants most of the time. Later in the day, Kara walked all over the house with her purse and Kiersten's keys, and a baby doll. She said they went grocery shopping, to the dry cleaner, and to the gym to work out. After she came out of the "gym" (really the laundry room), she kept saying, "ooh, I so tired. I worked out a lot, mom. I need to eat, I so hungry." I had to laugh because I guess that's how I sound in the car on the way home from the gym. haha. Then last night Ben had asked her to get something, and she said, "just a minute, I working out. when I'm done exercising then I will, okay?" He thought that was too funny. I guess I've created a little exercise monster. But I also have to say it's worth it to have reached my goal of getting under a certain weight! I have lost 30 lbs since january, and hopefully I still have a few more I can get rid of in the next few months. Now that Ben has time to work out, I'm sure he'll zip right past me with a ton of weight loss, but I can still be proud of my own.
