March Madness!!! Just kidding...

Montana may be the sweetest, most gentle dog ever when it comes to having little girls climb all over and around her!

No, that is not a yawn but a scream of rage!

Much better!

Harper really wanted to see herself in the mirror, so she came up with a plan...

and executed it.  Well done, Harper Paige!

Bow and tutu day at the Weinsteins!

A second gold medal tie for sweetest, most gentle dog goes to Dixie Lynn Chicken Nugget Weinstein who did not even flinch while Harper put on her medal!

AAAHHHH...so pretty!

And, finally, the ballet videos from the parent viewing in February...enjoy!

More February Fun!

Finley's birthday celebration at home after her favorite dinner - Sushi Hour.  She loved her birthday crown from school and insisted that Harper and she dressed fancy for dinner, too.  I am really getting my money's worth out of those Christmas dresses.

Finley helped me make the cake.  And, Harper and Finley decorated it with pink frosting and LOTS of sprinkles!

Dadda shows her how to blow those candles out!

Opening birthday presents and special valentines!  

Jack wants to know if there is anything for him???? 

Just some sugar from his valentine, aka Mama.

One of Finley's new outfits and her new Ariel shoes!  

Harper in high heels - what?

NO videos yet, I am trying to figure out where they went on the computer!!!  Thank you everyone for the wonderful gifts - we appreciate it so much!!!!  (Consider this your thank you card, too!)

Ballet and February Fun!

I attended Finley's ballet class last week; it was parent observation day.  I also filmed some short videos and will post those next time.  I have to watch them all and decide which ones turned out well enough for public viewing.

Looking good!

They were told repeatedly NOT to hang on the bar!

However, the teacher never told them to suck it in!  At what age is that appropriate to say...if ever...

My angel dogs - hanging out away from the girls.  When I yell at the girls -which hardly ever happens, they immediately go outside.  They know trouble and run from it!

Harper is soooo busy and gets into everything including toilet paper!  She looks os proud!

Girls got haircuts, and Finley got a beautiful French braid!

The nap continues to be hit or miss.  But when it does happen - Monty is there in a heartbeat.

Watching Lady and the Tramp - she always lays on Matt's side of the bed!

Finley got her birthday crown from school yesterday and has been wearing it all weekend!  Four tomorrow!'

Happy New Year or MLK Day or whatever!!!!

Winter finally comes to Canada!  

 Christmas presents arrived before, during, and after  - which the girls loved!

Jackie liked what Santa brought him, too!

Happy Birthday, Jackie - 9 years old on Jan. 1 - two old dogs napping!

But, not too old to party - Monty looks thrilled for the big New Year's Eve Celebration!

Good news for Monty and her parents - the celebration took place around 8:00 pm and involved Finley wearing her swimsuit over her jammies and a downloaded ball dropping on TV!

Harper, too, is feeling the summer vibe; she is wearing her swimsuit cover-up.

Pony also got into the spirit of the New Year after Finley and I decorated him with some of the confetti that was and is still on the floor.  I keep finding more each time I clean!  I think that he is just really happy to have lived another year after surviving Hurricane Irene!

Harper has been fighting a formal nap, so now she just naps when and whenever if at all.  This day she found a partner in crime - an animal who will nap when and wherever.

Thank you to everyone for all of the wonderful and generous gifts this year and for mailing them all the way to Canada!
