Today my sweet little girl turned 6. It’s hard to believe that so much time has passed by. I could not have asked for a more sweet, loving, and precious little girl. She is so beautiful on the outside and on the inside. Inherently she knows what is right and tries her best to always choose the right. As I mother I could not be more proud of my daughter. At school she gets along with all of her class mates and tries to make friends with everyone. She’s excelling in school and is so far ahead of where she supposed to be as a kindergartener. One day while her kindergarten teacher was testing her for reading she finally had to stop at a level “i” because she was getting bored from reading so much. They start their reading level at “a” and then go up the alphabet from there. She loves to learn and is like a human sponge absorbing all the information that comes her way. She asks me all sorts of questions and a lot of the time I don’t know the answer so I tell her that we will have to look it up online. Now when I tell her I don’t know when she asks a question she responds, “Oh, we’ll have to look it up online.”
For her 6th birthday Kelsey asked me to make her a Hello Kitty cake. It turned out really cute and was fairly simple to make. We got Kelsey some rollerblades for her birthday, and a play gun (from dad ). Kelsey also got a present for Mylee and Lanaea—a game with the horse from Toy Story. They had a fun time playing the game together. I love you sweet Kelsey and I can’t wait to see you grow through the years. You are a precious daughter of God.
This winter we signed Mylee up for a ballet, jazz, and tap dance class. It’s been a sweet experience to see my sweet Mylee grow up and get involved in activities like this. This was the first class we signed her up for. She’s been doing really well and really enjoys it. Her teacher is really sweet and has some really fun ways of helping her students remember dance steps. For instance, for first position they have to let their heels kiss each other. For the hand positions in ballet they pretend they are putting scoops of ice cream on a cone. These and others have really helped Mylee remember her dance steps. It’s been sweet to see Mylee try to teach Kelsey some moves. Mylee’s signature moves are the penguin walk (a tap step) and a somersault. Whenever Kelsey does a cool trick she usually fires back with a somersault. 
On February 19th, we went to the circus as a family. It was just a small circus, but the girls didn’t know any difference. We had a wonderful time. They had girls doing acrobatics on sheets of ribbon hanging from the ceiling. The girls were fascinated. Well, except for Lanaea. Blake and I mostly kept busy chasing her around and rescuing her from falling down the concrete stairs. They had an act with dogs doing all sorts of tricks and an act with lots of ponies and an act with motorcycles in a metal ball. After 2 hours, we eventually left because our girls were losing their attention. It was actually a good time to leave because they were just bringing out the elephants and Mylee was terrified of them. She saw them and cried and cried. It was good times.
I was in charge of Kelsey's class valentine party this year. It turned out great! The kids had fun and we had lots of good food to eat. Because of the obesity crisis among children in the US, it's Texas law that they can't eat sweet at school--only a couple times during school year--so made it heart-healthy and served heart-shaped sandwiches, fruit on kabobs, chicken nuggets, and
