A week of firsts!

Our girls are growing up!! Crissy took her first bite of rice cereal, Julia learned to ride her bike, and Emma got up on the wakeboard yesterday! Yes, I am the proud mom! Emma actually taught Julia how to ride her bike while Jason and I were in our neighbors garage. When Emma told me she was helping Julia learn to ride her bike I told Emma that was so nice but never thought for a minute she would really do it. I turned into hyper cheerleader mom when I saw Julia come down the street riding her bike. I think I may have embarrased Jason a little with my excitement!! Oh, and we can't forget Grace. She said Caillou this week for the first time!!

What a blast. It was so fun to see the videos. It was almost like we were there. I am so sad that we dont live there to share all these moments with you. It is so fun to see the girls and share even though we are so far away. Jason was the epitome of physical shape running next to Julia. Very impressive Jason. It seemed like the baby loved the cereal. Jackie did you take the video with your little camera or the big one? I want to get me one.

Ok, so are you done with the last book? I am dying to find out what you thought. I have been very quiet, are you proud of me? Did you ever finish the host? I decided I get a little to obsessive about the books. Cant wait till the movie comes out. My friend went to a party and her mom has a silver volvo. Everyone was taking pictures of it. Funny huh. I have thought so many times about mama mia. Did you ever get the soundtrack? Love you guys. We miss you still so much.

I stopped in the middle of Host to read Breaking Dawn! Host is very good but I had to read Breaking Dawn. I will be done with it tonight or early tomorrow!!! We will discuss!
I took the videos with my little Nikon camera. Costco is selling one right now. And yes, I did buy the Mama Mia soundtrack and I LOOOOOOve it!!!!! Last night I blasted it and started dancing and the girls lit up! They were so excited and we were all dancing! We miss you guys too. I'll be calling one evening abou THE BOOK!

Those videos were really fun to watch. So sweet to see Crissy enjoy her first cereal, and Julia...all great little milestones!!!! SO cute that Emma taught Julia how to ride a bike. And I can't believe Emma is wake boarding! In that super choppy water too!

That is so cute that you posted all of those videos! I loved it! I can't believe that Emma can wakeboard! That's awesome Emma! The water looked really rough too! I'm jealous that you can do that and I can only ski! I'll have to challenge you one of these days! Julia I'm so proud of you that you are riding a bike already! Wow! Your going to be able to keep up with Emma! Carissa looks like she's been eating cereal all along. She knew exactly what to do! I'm happy she likes food! And here is a shout out for Grace...WHOO HOO!

I think my favorite is of Grace yelling for Jason while Julie is riding her bike.
