Birthdays and Dancing for Joy...

Wow the past few weeks have been busy!!! Here is a quick glimpse into our lives for the past few weeks. Okay really the pictures are all from the last 6 days!!! Enjoy....

Landon wondering why we are putting fire on a cake in front of him!!

Daddy helping Landon blow out the 2 birthday candles!!

Drew and Shelby waiting on cake and ice cream!! Mimi taking pictures!!

Isn't she just beautiful!!

Landon playing basketball on his new set!!

A MUCH needed gift!!!

And to go with the helmet....

Guess what happened a short time later....

This boys and girls is why you should wear a helmet!!!

Casey was invited to Ella Rose's birthday party. Okay Casey was the party. Mrs. Rebecca and Mr. Jeff treated the girls to a trip to Build A Bear!!

Here are the girls waiting to stuff their bears. Can you tell that they picked matching bears?!! Big surprise there!!! NOT!!!

Giving their bears a "fluff" bath.

The fact that both girls picked wedding dresses was a shock!! Casey really wanted a mermaid outfit for her bear but when she saw what Ella Rose was getting she wanted the same glass slippers and mermaids apparently don't wear glass slippers. The worst part was how sad she was when we got home and she realized that we were not going back to buy the mermaid outfit!! I told her she had to save her money just like the big kids.

Today was a happy/sad day. Casey went to her first day of dance!!! She was so excited. I think part of it was because she knew Mimi was picking her up after dance. I can remember the first day that Shelby took dance. We still had a set of taps and ballet shoes from when Shelby started taking dance that Casey could use!!! Plus a friend sent us a few leotards which were the perfect size!! (Thanks Christine--I'm pretty sure that they came from you!) I only had to get her a set of tights.

No problem.

Ready for her dance lesson.

Shelby also took a tap/jazz lesson. She is trying it out to see if she still likes/enjoys dance. She will have some catch up to do. She did a good job today. I know it was difficult since it's been 4 years since she took dance.

Now we are on to another busy week and anxiously awaiting our vacation.

One of the joys of homeschooling....

taking a vacation that can be fun and counted as school!!!
