Dance Recital

YEAH! Our final dance recital for this year! It was so much fun to teach these girls dance. They are such great kids, I love their personalities. Some day's they were a little much, but can you blame them...I am a freakin fun teacher! LOL!



We did 4 dances this time...unfortunately, my husband didn't take pictures of each dance, and the ones he did take, were extremely blurry...so here are a few I took after the recital.



I wish you could of seen all the costumes...they were super cute! Thanks to my wonderful aunt Melodie...she totally did an awesome job with them. There was a ribbon dress to a tippy tap toe dance, a butterfly dance with wings and a tutu, then a puppy dog dance, and then our uptown girl dance with the red dresses. Way fun!

Preschool Graduation

Amiah didn't graduate this year, she still has one more year of preschool. She still was part of the ceremony!

Each student took a turn and did a song, and an activity in front of the audience.

This is her singing her ABC's, which by the way, she did awesome at!

And this is her leaping like a Frog across the stage! LOL! Too fun!

Weekly Photo Challenge " Out of Focus"

Here is my photo of a flower I took in California...the flowers there are amazing!


Here is Mindy's photo of her daughter playing with bubbles. Too cute!

It is funny, cause I thought of doing that same thing, but I didn't because I used bubbles in a previous challenge! I guess great minds just think alike! LOL!



And our challenge for this week is:

"At Your Feet"

Sprinkler Time

When we came back from picking up Amiah from preschool, the sprinklers were on. As soon as Aiden saw them, I knew what he was thinking...it was hot outside, so I for sure let him run in them. He had a blast! Amiah on the other hand, is a little chicken sometimes...so she didn't get in, but she watched from the door, and kept asking Aiden if he was having fun. Once they turned off, it was time to go in, which was fine by Aiden, he was starting to get cold anyways. Here are a few pictures I grabbed before the fun ended! Enjoy!

Two College Graduated Sister-In-Laws!

"Out of Focus"

A week with 3 kids!

This past week I got the opportunity to watch my friend's sweet girl! She is such a character, we had so much fun with her at our house all week.

It was a magical princess week, full of adventures around the house for two 4 year old girls. Aiden tried to fit in as best as he could, he usually ended up being the dragon or the tiger trying to attack the poor princess. They always found a way to defeat the ferocious beast.

I wish I could of had time to take more pictures, it was a crazy week for me as well, from senior shoots and everything else going on with the house.

But here are a few I managed to snap the last day she spent with us!

"Texture"

Here is my picture...can you tell what it is? LOL...it is my daughter's shoe on top of tin foil. I thought the texture from the the feather on the shoe looked fun, and the tin foil added a little more to the background.



Here is Mindy's picture, it is from a flower at her apartment complex...how cool is that...I love the color, and detail.

You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily. You are a naturally creative person.
