Our Big Recital

Here we are at dress rehearsal, watching all of the other classes perform!

This years recital is fantastic!

Here we are on the big night. The girls didn't feel well. I was a bad mommy and gave them motrin, apologized to the other parents... the show must go on. They were troupers and did awesome. I was so excited to see them on stage together! The recital was at the same auditorium I had all of my recitals as a kid, talk about bringing back old memories!!! Steppin Up Dance Studio Rocks and we love it!

Easter

Easter was beautiful weather this year.

We hosted at our house, had great food and a fun easter egg hunt for the kids.

We also got to sit outside and enjoy the new patio set.

Yo Gabba Gabba

One of our favorite shows on TV is

Yo Gabba Gabba and we won tickets to see them LIVE!!!

It was by far the coolest kid show we have seen to date. The girls were jumping out of their seats. It was pretty cool for Shane and I too,

we got to see Biz Markie live too for Biz's Beats!

Swim Lessons

Finally Payton is no longer terribly frightened of the water.

Even though she is with the little kids, we thought it would be good for her to be the big brave sister and show Paige what swim lessons were all about.

Trying to conquer her fear of water has been a 3 year process.

Paigey on the other hand, has no fear and when asked to touch her chin to the water on the first day, went completely underwater.

We have our hands full with that child!!!

Dance Costume Preview

Here we are at the dogtown parade on st. patrick's day.
Our first time down there on the actual St. Pats day. It was fun!
Then we went to our friends house for reuben sandwiches and cabbage.
It was delightful, they had a bonfire and
Dave's dad drove all the kids around in a golf cart.

It was nice to spend the day as a family.

Our friends live next door to the cemetary that my dad is buried in,
We always stop there when we visit them.

Payton wanted to give him some beads.
