2 Dancing Princesses

Emma & Alli had their dance recitals on Saturday. They both did so great and I was so proud of them.

Alli is in a tap/ballet combo class and they did a cute tap routine to "ma, he's makin' eyes at me". All the girls in Alli's class are so sweet & completely adorable. It's been so fun for her this year and we sure love the girls & their mom's. Here's Dancing Princess #1...

Here are the girls in Alli's class - aren't they the CUTEST??


Emma is also in a tap/ballet combo for her age group. She has had a lot of fun and it's been fun for us to see her become a little more graceful. She loves to get all dolled up and was so excited when I put some makeup on her for her recital. She is such a beautiful little girl and she is growing up way too fast. Here's Dancing Princess #2...

Here's part of Emma's group. Most of the group shots I took with my camera didn't turn out well so I'm hoping one of the other mom's has some good pics.

Happy Birthday to Connor!!

Sunday was Connor's 7th birthday. I have no idea where the last 7 years went - 7 years old seems so big! We were up at my mom's house and did a little family birthday party with some cousins. We are going to go bowling next week for his friend party and I'll post more pictures of that later. Connor - we love your energy and your sweet smile - our family would not be complete without our sweet boy!!
See how sweet & innocent he was when he was born??

He was super cute on his blessing day and had even put on a little weight!!

At 6 months old he was even cuter and we spoiled him ROTTEN for his 1st Christmas.

Pictures from his 1st birthday...

He was already into cars by the time he was 2 years old. He already has about 4 cars picked out that he wants to own when he gets big (a blue Mustang, a monster truck, a Dodge Charger and a Toyota).

He was a true 3 year old and I don't know how I survived that year!

By 4 he had mellowed a little bit but he still keeps us all busy!

The movie "Cars" came out one day after his 5th birthday so we went to the movie for his party and had a ton of fun!

Last year when he turned 6 we were at Lake Powell - we'll always remember his fun birthday at the lake!!

Here he is on Sunday blowing out candles at my mom's house. He is such a good boy and we are so lucky to have him in our family.

Last Day of School!!

I was so ready for school to be out and my kids to be home with me. They had such a great year and we're READY FOR SUMMER!!

Emma's kindergarten teacher this year was SO GREAT!! She is super sweet and Emma is really going to miss her. Here's Emma with the best kindergarten teacher EVER!!

Emma loves to sing and I was so excited to attend her kindergarten program. I was not prepared for her sadness - she cried with her head down the ENTIRE program. It was soooo sad! I think she wasn't feeling that great and when she saw me come into the cafeteria she wanted to sit by me and not with her class. Oh, well, here's a sad picture.

She did perk up as soon as the program was over and it was time for snacks!!

Connor is sooo excited to be a 2nd grader next year. He took off this year and did awesome in math. His teacher was great and we're going to miss her!

Here's Connor with a few friends - Carson & Christian.


Now - Speaking of summer - the last day of school was crazy weather here and not like summer at all! My kids wore jackets to school and as we were walking home from school it rained on us and was actually chilly!

Right after school we drove to Utah for a wedding and guess what?? We got snowed on more than once. When we stopped for gas in Panguitch it was snowing - the kids were trying to catch snowflakes on their tongues - it's a little hard to see the flakes but they were there!! Anyway, it was freezing!!
