They Danced The Winter Blues Away

An amazing teacher with some adorable girls...

 

It's been a lot of fun! 

I've had a blast, and I know they have too :) 

Until next time...

Dance Recital

Our girls... how I eat up every girlie moment with them. 

This was one of those girlie moments, when I got to watch them dance and sparkle for their family and friends! 

And it was the first time Minnie went on stage without her big sister and it was a little tough for her.

A few tears were shed.  I held her hand and coaxed her on stage.

 Then I got to see a little confidence dance in her eyes when she realized she was front and center, doing it all on her own. 

I was so pleased and celebrated with her! 

She felt so big and older sister Princess kept telling her what a big girl she was now (the little mommy in her shining through!).

Another mile stone crossed and a fun dance recital accomplished for our little dancers.

Rewarded with cute flower clips from their awesome teacher Mrs. Julie!

They look forward to them every time.

 

You two make us smile :) 

 Thanks to our family and friends for being there for them! 

It only adds to their excitement to see you in the crowd.

Dancing Queen

Cousin Mae rocks!! 

The girls and I had a little date to watch Mae dance on stage. 

She is a performer! 

We had a lot of fun cheering her on while watching her groove. 

 

Way to go, Mae Mae!

Show Time

Our little girls LOVE the stage. 

Mrs. Julie has been a lot of fun and they have enjoyed every second!

Sorry the pictures look so weird. 

My camera is dying :( 

We always get a kick out of watching the girls dance. 

Their personalities shine through! 

Love it.

{Aunt Cami saved the day and helped mom with their hair, since mom has been losing her mind lately.  Thanks, sis!}

Thank you family for coming to cheer them on! 

They get super excited to see familiar faces in the crowd.

Award time!

A new flower clip and certificate for every dance achievement.

Isn't Mrs. Julie amazing??

 

Way to go, girls!!

Loving The Stage

 

I've been having so much fun with these girls and dance!

They LOVE memorizing their parts by practicing them every day. 

 Before each recital, I get to play dress up with them :) 

And performing for their biggest fans is so exciting.

Seeing their beautiful, grinning faces makes my life!

Thank you, Mrs Julie!! 

We think you're pretty awesome :)

Little Dancers

These two would dance all day every day if they could!

So, I was pretty darn excited to learn that my good friend Julie teaches dance out of her home.

Of course, I signed our little dancers up right away!

And they have had a blast!!

They've learned all kinds of fun moves, 

and count down to their recital when they can show off their hard work for daddy.
(Concentration)

If you're in the area and interested in an inexpensive way to involve your kid-Os in dance, let me know.

Julie is great and so much fun!!

He's All Growed Up

And married!  My little bro's a married man!  

He tied the knot with a beautiful, smart, sweet, fun girl.

I'm so excited to be able to call her "sister".

Our family just grew a little! 

Hm... I think they just came for the food...

Now we're smiling!

Visiting family and old friends...

Timmy got passed around :)  

Lucky me!  I actually got to sample some of the yummy goodies.

Cute girls!  They danced around together the whole evening...

She's a natural!

Being the second oldest of 9, my cousin Eve knows how to make a baby happy! 

Sport found a little buddy to run around with...

My little/tall Benny boy...

I use to make him pull me around in our wed wagon like a horse! 

I don't think I could boss him around so easily anymore...

Sisters!
