You Make Me Feel Like Dancin'

Addison recently had her dance recital. The song her class danced to was 'You Make Me Feel Like Dancing'. It was precious! She has had a really great first year of dance. When she started the year out, she was excited, but she went through a little period where she didn't want to stay for class (I really think it was mostly because she didn't want to be separated from me...the parents have to stay in a separate waiting room during practice). But our family rule is that if you start something, you have to finish it. So we made her stick to it and finish the year out. And she eventually started falling in love with her dance class and looked forward to it every week. She was so excited towards the end when it was time for her costume and dance recital! We are very proud of her!

Here are two video clips...the first one from dress rehearsal and the second one from the recial!

Baseball Season

Baseball season is in full swing...actually we are over half way through the season. Playoffs begin on May 19th! Bob is enjoying coaching and Weston would live on the baseball field if we let him. We were proud of him last week...he bounced his first ball OVER the fence! Our entire team gets better with every practice and game!

And look who wanted to dress just like her big brother for last nights game!! It's hard to believe that the little baseball pants Addison is wearing used to be Weston's! She just might have to keep wearing this whole outfit to the rest of the games this season for good luck because we played so well last night. We beat the team ranked ahead of us 18 to 6!

Let's hope the Detroit Tigers can keep up the good work!

Easter Sunday

Easter Day the children enjoyed seeing what the Easter Bunny left for them! We had dinner the Saturday before Easter with Bob's family and celebrated with my family on Easter Sunday.

Spring Break Trip

We traveled to Atlanta, GA for the first half of Spring Break! We had a lot of fun. We went to the American Girl store and bistro. We had dinner at the bistro, Addison chose a new ballerina outfit for her doll, and her doll, Kirsten, got a new hair 'do! We also went to Open House at Turner Field/Braves Stadium, World of Coca-Cola, the GA Aquarium, The Varsity, Olympic Park, and enjoyed swimming in our hotel swimming pool. It was a nice getaway!

Addison's School Easter party, parade

The week before Spring Break, Addison had an Easter party, egg hunt, parade, and singing performance at preschool!














Here are two video clips...one of part of the parade and one of the children singing songs in the sanctuary. Both were priceless and precious! If the children singing don't warm your heart, I don't know what will. :-)

Weston's Spring Choir Performance

Weston enjoyed participating in the Spring Choir performance recently. They presented a musical/drama titled 'Jonas Druthers'. It was about Jonah. It had a western theme and it was super cute. The kids did a great job delivering a Christ-filled message through music and drama!






And here are a few video clips I took of the performance:







Choir is officially finished for the year...we'll start back up in the fall!

Easter Egg Hunt with friends

Addison wanted to have a few of her friends over for a little Easter Egg hunt, so that is what we did! We had lunch, hunted eggs, played inside, and then outside with bubbles, houla hoops, sidewalk chalk, etc. It was a fun time with sweet friends!

I need to catch up...

I have lots of catching up to do on the blog, but we are officially on Spring Break--and we have some fun things planned. I'm hoping sometime over the next week, though, I'll have some "down time" so that I can catch up...until then, here is a picture of the kiddos back from St. Patty's Day. A leprechaun came by our house and "tinkled" in the potty without flushing and threw some confetti around and left some stickers/tattoos for the kiddos! They got a big kick out of that!
