There were no complications and we were out of the hospital by 1:00 Sunday afternoon. We are all very grateful he’s here.

Girls Singing

These videos are from the end of last year. I’m just learning how to use You Tube and post videos.

Dance Recital

Dariya and Sarai were both in the May Recital this year. They are both so talented and beautiful. They did wonderful.

 

 

Sarai got up and danced without any help. I walked with her until she got to Miss Melendy and the stage, then I snuck away. She did wonderful. I just wish the sun wasn’t in her eyes on the second dance.

 

For the first song Dariya did they used “I feel pretty” it was so cute to see her facial expressions. In the second picture she is in the back. It was hilarious; they had the audience laughing.

The second song they used “Tomorrow” from Annie. She was so beautiful and elegant, I was in tears. In the first picture she is right in the middle.

I have video of all the dances my girls were in. If you ever want to see them just ask. My mom is working on getting them to YouTube so we can share them more.

Playing with Keri and Turtle

Keri has a friend she calls Turtle and the girls loved playing red light green light with him. They also played Hoola Hoop with aunt Keri on the Wii fit.

 

Dariya’s Friends

These are pictures of Dariya and Sarai at various outings: Dariya’s school zoo trip, her friend’s birthday party, recess after the rain, her class Valentine’s party, and her own birthday party.

Dariya reading/writing

Today Burton and Dariya had a conversation over my IM while Burton was at work and Dariya was on my computer. Sarai typed the first 2 Sarais. It went like this:

Crystal says:
sarai
  sarai
Burton Wright says:

Crystal says:
Dariya  loves   you!
Burton Wright says:

You have just sent a nudge.
Crystal says:

Burton Wright says:

Crystal says:

Burton Wright says:

Burton Wright says:

Crystal says:

Burton Wright says:

Crystal says:

Burton Wright says:

I heard of a similar conversation she had with a girlfriend of mine while I was taking a nap and she messaged me. She told her I was sleeping and that she was Dariya.

She learned phonics last year in preschool and then spent the first semester going over them again and learning more complicated ones. Now, she is reading books and figuring out words.  She is soo awesome!!!

Christmas Recital- Sarai’s First!

 

Here’s both the girls before going on stage. Sarai didn’t want to wear the hat and barely made it on, but when the music started I lost her to the performance. They both did awesome!!! I couldn’t have asked for more.

Hiking with Grandma

We like to hike and our favorite place is called “Hole in the Rock”.  It is a fun place that you can hike up the back of a big rock and climb through the middle. It creates kind of an amphitheater kind of feel and you can see a lot of the valley. It’s beautiful and such a sort little hike. Sarai was able to do it was she was only 2.

Fall Garden

Here’s my garden and pretty much my backyard. We got a few things from it to eat but for the most part I just got more experience. Hopefully some day I will own more dirt that reaches more sun…. I’ m just so demanding.

 

Halloween

Sorry guys that this has taken so long. But, here’s Halloween pictures.

This is the back drop for our fish pond for the ward party. We got a box from the trash of an appliance store and painted it… It turned out well. Dariya wanted to be Word Girl so we attempted to make a helmet… the first one didn’t turn out so well. We made Dariya’s costume with the help of Grandma Newey’s sewing skills and I found the Alice costume at the thrift store and just my luck Sarai decided she would wear it… It pretty much is luck with her.

 

My Little Alice in Wonderland and Word Girl ready to hit the town.

Arizona Museum for Youth

I took the girls to the AZ Museum for Youth with one of Dariya’s friends, Mia, and her brother Logan.  They had a blast. So many things to do and hopefully they learned a few things too.
