The Greatest little Dancers in the World

Bridget's tap dance

Boogy Woogy

Abby's Ballet

Poor Bridget had scraped knees , so this part
of the dance was difficult for her.

Two Beauties!

Abby and Miss Julie.

On Saturday June 6, Bridget and Abby had their spring Dance Recital. The Theme this year was "Children Of America". All the songs were patriotic. It was quite fitting that the performance was on D-day. My favorite dance was Bridget's tap dance. It was to "Boogy Woogy Bugle Boy". The Choreography was a little more advanced and it was really fun to watch. I wish I had gotten a video of it. Bridget's Ballet dance was to "God Bless America". Abby Danced to "Great Country" and "America The Beautiful". Their teacher Miss Julie has so many students that she does two recitals. Ours was at 9:00 am. The teacher asked Bridget if she would stay and dance in the 11:00 show. Abby decided to stay also. It was a long day but very fun.

Old Friends and New Friends

Last Friday we visited with two of my friends that I have known since elementary school. Jenny, Alisa, and I had fun catching up with each other. Our children had fun getting acquainted with each other. It was raining in the morning. Abby prayed that the rain would stop so we could swim. The rain stopped but it was very windy. The toys kept blowing out of the pool. The kids did not seem to mind though.

The Many Faces of Anna

Springtime

Abby and her friend were buried in the sand.
What Fun!
(what a lot of sand to clean out of the tub)

I have not posted for a long time

I just wanted to share this video. It is kind of long and there is a foot that keeps finding it's way onto the camera.(Bridget was supposed to be reading, but did not want to be left out) This shows how much Anna likes to dance and she never gets tired. Later we all joined her and danced together until it was time for bed. (what a workout)!

Not to brag or anything but I made the dress Anna is wearing. I made it when Abby was that age, and I am still proud of it.

New Bed

We recently moved Anna to a toddler bed. Her crib was falling apart. She had adjusted well and really loves her bed.

Anna's Birthday Party

What a special birthday girl, she has her very own Coke.

Grandma Steed made her birthday cake.
She is so spoiled having cake and coke on the carpet.
