Catelyn's Busy!

Seriously, this girl has a lot going on. From contacts to Cindy Crawford. Let's see.... Where to start.


  • On Wednesday, May 21, Catelyn had an eye appointment and she got contacts. She also had a loose bone embedded into her gums, which the dentist removed. (That was weird. Like a sliver, in her mouth.)
  • On May 23, she had to turn in her form to perform in the Talent Show. She'll be singing.
  • Today, May 27, her whole grade did their wax museum projects. Her glasses came in, so we need to go back to the doctor to have them fit.
  • On May 28th, she and her whole grade are going to Yellowstone.
  • On May 29th, she has an appointment for her contact check-up.
  • On May 30th, she has the Talent Show.
  • On June 3rd, she has her class party and they are going Rollerskating.
  • Mix into that some babysitting and piano, and the girl is booked!

But today, let's focus on her WAX MUSEUM PROJECT.
Nothing like a huge end-of-the-year project for an 11 year old. Catelyn's class did a wax museum and she was assigned to choose someone from Illinois that has had influence. After careful consideration, she choose Cindy Crawford.


We researched and discovered how SMART Cindy was in High School. I'm sure she's still smart! She's the icon of what a supermodel is, and her mole became a beauty trademark. She's the highest paid model on the plant, and currently is still modeling! She has a lot going on besides modeling, though. Baking is a hobby she enjoys and she is involved in a lot of motivational stuff for inner beauty.





We borrowed a ballroom dance dress from Liz Seedall and gave her some big hair and a mole and off she went to spend two hours giving a little speech about Cindy and what kind of influence she has had on women and girls.

I'm hoping to run her to the eye doctor this afternoon to pick up her glasses. And tomorrow she'll spend the whole day in Yellowstone.

WATCH HER ON YOUTUBE
This isn't the best quality, because it was so noisy in there, but at least you get a sense. She talks so fast (wonder where she gets that from.)

The Opposite of Christmas Morning

We are having the opposite of Christmas morning at our house.  No toys.  We have one of these for storing toys: And several of these for the same reason: And last night the kids thought dumping them out for the sake of dumping toys would be fun.  This is a major rule breaker in our home.  I have had problems with this in the past, (even Mykalee knows this) and i have told them if it happens again, all the toys will disappear. And last night, after I found out what they had done, the toys have been grounded.  FOR A WEEK.  I hope it's as devastating as possible, so that they will learn I am serious when it comes to dumping toys out. {Also, Brooklyn is the only one who is exempt from this, as she was in bed.  Innocent.} On a side note, we did get the kids this on Friday.  It was time.  They seem to love it.

Catelyn--The Birthday Girl!

She knew.  I told her that she was getting a dress for her 8th birthday.  We tried some on, and fell in LOVE with the one we ended up surprising her with!  Doesn't she look too grown up?   I teared up as I watched 12 more years flash before my eyes as I saw her in this mini-wedding dress.  But it was the one for her.  We knew it. With Grandpa Dean's passing, we received special permission {which Kyle didn't like to have to ask for, because in the church handbook, it specifically says "Members should not ask for special permission to baptize their children. . .blah, blah blah....*Oh!! not that I am making fun of the handbook.  I just don't what it says exactly* I argued back that this was a rare exception, and we should at least ask. {Also, not as rare as I thought-- as I found out Friday night -March 18- that the family who had a viewing going at the same time as ours, at Coltrin's, had a baptism and a funeral in the same day as well! ...
