Dance

Finley just completed her third year of dance...and once again impressed this mama!  Every week, I would leave practice with her thinking "she sure has fun with her friends, but hasn't learned anything" or "she's just not a dancer, but at least she has fun".  :)  Well...she is really just made to be on the stage I guess.  She got up on that stage this weekend and knew the routine, smiled, and simply impressed!  So proud of her!  It helps that she loved her costume, hair, makeup...and the fact that she had cousins, nana & papa, and great-grandma in the audience watching her!  

The theme this year was "Enchanted"

There were so many cute costumes...and the Disney princesses even made an appearance!  :)

Pretty girl!

Throughout the day she kept saying "I wish I could get flowers...do you think someone will buy me flowers...oh, those flowers are so pretty"  Well her daddy came through and surprised her with flowers after the second show was done.  Her smile was priceless!  :)

She was at the top of a lift...she looks a lot like Baby from Dirty Dancing if you ask me!  :)

Bubbles

After many, many, MANY months inside...we are so happy to be outside enjoying any amount of sunshine we can soak up!

AJ has learned how to blow bubbles...and thinks it's a lot of fun!

Happy Birthday Finley!

She's six...going on sixteen!  It's a wonder what a year in school full-time will do to a girl!  :)  She comes home every day with so many stories.  She has learned so much this year.  I'm amazed at how well she reads, how well she does with math...and just how much she's matured over the year!  

She looks worried to be turning six...

Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Finley learned how to ski this winter and LOVED it!

She could have gone every day...no matter how cold; and we had some cold days this winter!

And this lucky girl got ice cream after every ski session!

She's growing up so fast!  

Her laugh and smile are infectious!

Our cowgirl!  She has enjoyed birthday parties, play dates, etc. this year!

She completed her Awana Sparks book this year.  It was a difficult transition for her initially (they have to know the verse and where it's found in the bible), but she stuck with it and did great!

And He's FOUR!

Ace turned four in March...he was very excited to have friends over to celebrate with him.  He loves to play!  He is very easy going and laid-back.  BUT...he also loves to play tricks and can be very sneaky! :)

It's hard for me to think that he's four...I remember the day he was born so clearly!

This boy loves sweets!

So much so that he needed two crowns!  UFF

Love him!

He is so soft spoken and fun to have one-on-one!

Love this!

He finished his first year of Awana Cubbies a couple weeks ago.  He learned his verses each week with such ease.  He didn't necessarily look forward to going each week, but never complained and always came home stating that he had fun!

We signed him up for PreK too...ah, the time goes too fast!
