Year End Dance Recital

Ali's big year end dance recital was last Friday. It was so great to see them perform all their dances again. It is amazing to see how much she has improved over the year. Next year will be even funner with Emily dancing as well.

Here is their ballet dance, this is the first time that they performed it this year.

Cars That Go Boom was Ali and Emily's favorite dance. It is hillarious because Emiy knows all the words for the entire song. Ali is in a hot pink outfit.

Ed Hardy Shoes was their Hip-Hop dance. They won first place for this dance at every competition this year.

This next dance is "Dream" Ali is so excited that she got to keep the pillow from this dance. It has become her latest side kick to cuddle with.

All of the comp teams danced in this next dance. Ali is the one that comes out of the left if you are looking at the screen. She is carrying the trophy.

The highlight of the dance recital this year was the "Dad's Dance." All of the girls dads had to go and practice for two weeks to do this fabulous dance for us. Matt is wearing a white bandana on his head and he has a blue Jazz Jersey on. He is kind of hidden in the back of the crowd, but he does come out for a little duet with our friend Levi.

Ali's Kindergarten Graduation

Ali had her preschool graduation on the last day of Kindergarten. She was so excited to be done with her first year of school, and she is really looking forward to being in 1st grade next year.

Here is her class walking in to the library before their program.

Swimming at the Pool

Emily loves the water. I think that my kids would literally live at the pool if we could. It is so nice to have it so close, and a place to go for free. It sure makes for some enjoyable hot summer days.

Ali picked up swimming right where she left off last year, and I must say that she has even gotten better. She is so crazy and always making us laugh these days with her impersonations of people and things. The picture of her with her thumb on her mouth and pulling her ear is from Robin Hood. Matt has gotten the girls to like the movies that Matt watched when he was younger. Robin Hood is one, along with The Sword in the Stone.

Emily swims all over the big pool with her little chickadee vest on. She thinks that she is pretty good, and has no fear of the water at all.

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a pretty boring weekend. Matt had to work so it started out with me and the girls just goofing around and being lazy. Then on Monday Matt was off, so we had some fun with Mr. Cooper, Fritz and Brittany.

We went to the Duck Park in Layton.

Emily was so excited when she saw the park. She ran like crazy. She is so funny, she runs leaning forward slightly with her arms sticking out behind her.

The girls love hanging upside down on the monkay bars.

They also like to go really high on the swings. Emily is even loving under dogs.

Some sweet poses.

The girls and Cooper have so much fun together.

Ali found this lovely duck feather that she was so proud of. Unfortunately, I lost it later during the evening. Of course we went through a whole loaf of bread, and the girls were complaining that we did not have enough. Coopie had the right idea and brought four loaves.

Wheeler Farm

Last week was Ali's class field trip to Wheeler Farm. Matt, Emily and I got to go with her class, it was so much fun. The kids loved it.

Mrs. Wheeler, Ali's teacher is retiring this year so we tried to get lots of pictures of all the kids together for a book for her. I don't think that we ever got the whole class.

Emily was so brave, she touched most of the animals that we got to see. She loved the cute little baby pigs and the bunny. Ali looked like she was having fun on the wagon ride, but when she got back she said that it was so boring all she got to see were trees.
