Shandee's Birthday

My little middle is 5!!!! Shandee is such a fun little girl! She talks so cute and we just love having her in our family. She has her grandpa Cleve wrapped around her finger. She just loves doing everything with him and she always has. Happy Birthday Shandee V. we love you!!!

Shandee had her birthday on Wednesday. Since our families are so busy and Gary works nights we decided to have her family parties on the next two Sundays. So I was worried that Shandee would feel disappointed and not have a good birthday. I asked Gary's sister if we could have Shandee's cousin sleep over on Tuesday. Whenever Shandee is talking about her she says, "My best friend", so Audrey slept over and we had tons of fun making cakes and getting ready for her birthday.When I got home from work we were waiting for Ryleigh Jo to come home from school so we could open presents and have cake and ice cream before Gary had to go to work, Shandee asked if she could go outside and I said sure you can it's your birthday you can do anything you want on your birthday. When I went to call her in I could not find her I was looking for her when my mom called and asked if I had lost Shandee, my mom asked her if her mom knew where she was she said, "It's o.k. it's my birthday I can do anything I want on my birthday and I wanted to come to grandma's house!"
Then for a present from grandma and grandpa they go the mall to get a build a bear. It was really cute and Shandee got a horse that she named Ariel. As soon as she was done she said lets hurry home to show grandpa.
Shandee had a great day for her birthday. It turned out to be a really fun day and she was just wore right out!!

Expressing my feelings

O.k. so a few things have happened with my oldest daughter lately that have been bothering me and I am wondering if I am teaching my daughter all that I need so she is acting the way I hope that she will.
I teach primary and I was sitting in front of Ryleigh Jo's class and I heard a little girl say to her that she should not be wearing that dress, that it was really in modest and her mom thinks it is bad to wear something like that. The dress Ryleigh Jo had on was just fine, it was a cap sleeve, anyway, after that Ryleigh Jo came and sat by me and was really upset. It makes me sad to think that people are judging that way at such a young age. I try to teach Ryleigh to be nice and to mind her own business. I know that they are just kids, but it made me realize how much kids act like their parents, they are just saying what they hear in the home. because this little girls parents are always making comments and judging people and it really bothers me.
Then today I was watching her at dance practice and some other girls from the other class got finished early so they were watching them finish dancing. I was enjoying myself watching how silly she is and how much fun she was having, then these two girls started talking about her. They were saying that she should not be a dancer and she doesn't know what she was doing(This is her first year) it really made me sad, then they just kept going on and on about how she acts weird and she's a pet (i guess that meant teacher's pet) and just some really mean things and I just sat and listened as the tears trickled down my cheeks. I know they are just kids but it just makes me so sad. I know it is only going to get worse as my kids get older, and grow up. I don't know if my heart can handle three girls growing up. Anyway my biggest thing is that I just hope that I can teach my girls how to act nice to everyone, because I don't want anyone to hurt over things my kids may have said about them. And I know it happens and I am still working on it because kids are just so honest and they don't know how hurtful words can be. Why is parenting so difficult?

Dancing

Ryleigh Jo and Shandee started dancing class today. I had been debating if I really wanted to let them do it. But after Shandee did cheer camp and just loved it I decided to give it a go.
Shandee goes at 3:00 for an hour and Ryleigh Jo goes at 5:00. So I have to hurry home from work to get Shandee back in town on time and then go and get Ryleigh Jo. It is a little hectic, but that's o.k. I guess that is what my Tuesday's will be from now on. Running back and forth.
Shandee was really excited she said she had a lot of fun and can't wait to go back next week. Ryleigh Jo said it was really hot and she just don't know if she can do the splits. I think it will be fun for them, I'm excited. Now we just have to get them cute little outfits to dance in and I also need to find ballet and tap shoes. I told Ryleigh Jo she should use her money to buy the ballet shoes and she said she would use $2.00 of the dollars and I could buy the rest. If only they only cost that much, oh well they will have fun times!!!!
