#28-Get the Girls Sleeping in Their Own Beds All Night

This goal has been done for a while, but I was afraid that if I blogged about it I would jinx myself and they would start coming into our bed again. :)
The girls are sleeping great in their own bed. On rare occasions we will get one of them in bed with us in the middle of the night, but not very often. It is so nice to have some room to sleep instead of praying you don't fall over the edge. :) I don't have a picture to accompany this post because I'm afraid that if I took a picture of them sleeping it would wake them up.

#4- Run a 5k

On August 6 my school held a 5k. As soon as I heard about it I was so excited that I would get to pass off another goal. I talked Neil and Misty into running with me. We had a lot of fun, even though they had to go pretty slow to wait for me. Neil pushed the girls all the way. Neil got 3rd place in his age group! We are running another one in a few weeks and I'm so excited!







#37-Take the Girls Horseback Riding

I believe it was July when we did this, but could be wrong.
We went down to the Durtschi's house in Ephraim to let the girls ride their horse. They absolutely LOVED it!

Here they are getting acquainted with the horse before they start riding.


Once the horse was saddled we asked Holly if she wanted to ride first. She was a little scared and said she didn't want to. When we asked Taylor if she wanted to ride she didn't even hesitate. She ran right over to get in the saddle. She had a blast and didn't want to get off. She got several turns because she was having so much fun.


After Holly saw how much fun it was for Taylor she was as timid. She also had a lot of fun riding.

I'm so glad that we have friends who have a horse and were willing to let us come visit and ride.

#27 Do The Girls' Hair Everday for One Month

So, I didn't do very good at posting pictures every day, but I did complete this goal. It was usually fun to try to come up with new 'dos. It was also great because slowly the girls got better about getting their hair done and now they don't usually freak out about it. Here's a few pictures of more hairstyles that we did.
