Aelita's 5th birthday!

Last Sunday Aelita celebrated her 5th birthday. She had a lot of fun with everyone that was able to come. The party actually started when we got home Friday evening and found that cousins zack and tiana and their mom had arrived from st. George and the girls were so excited to see them again. She was also excited that Erin and Chance and shawna and Marshall were also able to come. Aelita really loved all of the presents that she received and plays with them all. The gifts that she got were a nintendo DSi, game and case, a snow white doll, a tangled doll and coloring book, plastic food for her little kitchen, book with a magnadoodle, cookies, book of Mormon stories, a BYU backpack with some school supplies, and lots of hugs. I also made her cake again this year and every year I keep saying I'm not doing it again so we will see what happens next year:).

Almost 5 where did the time go.

In about two weeks Aelita will be turning 5 years old. She is so excited to have her birthday party with Lexie,Emily,Erin and Chance and the many others that will hopefully come as well. She decided that she wants to have pizza for dinner wih every one that comes as well as cake and ice-cream for dessert. She also wants a Tangled theme so we will see how well that goes. She is so excited and can't wait for her party.

Ballet! Seriously.

Ok so Aelita's babysitters daughter is in dance and so now Aelita wants to do ballet when we get to maryland. However I'm trying to figure out just how were going to manage paying for that one.

Moving......again

In august we will be moving yet again. This time...clear back to Maryland. We will stay in Utah until august. Then we will head to Maryland. The plan for now is for grandma cora and grandpa mark to drive a u-haul truck back from here to Maryland while Oma Judy flus back with mommy and the girls. Once we get there Aelita will get registered for kindergarten at Calvert elementary school. Hopefully we get there before school starts out there.

My Little Overachiever

A few weeks ago i bought some things to help Aelita get prepared for Kindergarten, like some little books to read and some workbooks to help her with math and writing and reading comprehension. well she has done really well with them and is now almost finished with all of them. Here are some of the things that she knows now.
Reading:
she can read
see
be
go
are
I
a
Math:
She can add
1+any number
2+2
She can also add up to ten using crayons and her fingers
Writing:
she can write her name and any other word as long as she has them to look at but no longer needs the dots to trace
comprehension:
she can tell you what happens in a story after it is read to her.

Aelita loves to learn and i really love that about her. She is going to be such a smart little girl and i hope that she continues to have a love of learning.

My 4 going on 16 year old

Aelita seems to think that she's such a teenager lately. She always gets an attitude when ever I tell her no and will just sit on the couch giving me the evil eye and pouting. Since spring has supposedly started her asthma is back in full force. She still loves school and is going to flip when she discovers that kiana has deleted her theavh me kindergarten game Crome the iPod. Aelita is looking forward to starting kindergarten this fall(however I'm not that excited yet maybe as the time gets closer I'll get more excited about it. I'm still adjusting to her Turning 5 this summer. Well that's about it

Growing so fast

Aelita is growing so fast. She will be 5 in just 3 short months and is already so smart. She is learning how to add simple numbers like 1+1 and  also subtract simple things like 1-1 on a game that i have on the ipod called teach me kindergarten pretty soon I'm going to have to download the 1st grade version just so that it can keep up with her willingness and longing to learn as much as she can. i really hope that she keeps up the love of learning when she starts school this fall.  She still loves to watch t.v and play the Wii. She actually prefers educational games and her dance game over any of the other games that we have.
