Tiny Dancer

On June 4th, Miss Avery had her very first dance recital.  She did AMAZING!  She shook her hips like crazy, knew all the steps, and smiled her little heart out.  I was soo proud of her.  I really think she may be a dancer for the long run.  Her dad and I were trying to get her to sign up for softball this year and she said "Absolutely no.  I go to dance".  She is already talking about her next dance recital.  Cody also had HIS very first dance recital as well.  He did the daddy daughter dance with Avery and also the dads hip hop number.  It was so funny and he did awesome as well.  He may be a dancer for the long haul as well!  The pics didn't turn out too good because they were moving so fast, so I can't wait to get the video to watch it back!  After, everyone came back to our house for some lunch and Avery got to be the center of attention for a while.  Congrats Avery and Cody on an awesome recital!

Memorial Day Camping 2011

A few months ago we decided to trade in our old camp trailer for a newer one.  When we bought our first one we didn't want to spend a crazy amount of money because we didn't know if the fun of camping or the trailer would wear off and we didn't want to waste that money.  Well, turns out, we loved camping all the time and the trailer made it even better!  Cody found a brand new trailer that had sooo much more room for us for the same payment of our old one and was and it was sooooo nice.  SOLD.  So for Memorial Day we took the trailer out on it's maiden voyage.  We as usual had a blast.  I think we were made to live in the woods with our kids and dog running wild.  Maybe someday...

Our beautiful new trailer :)

Fire!

Curly

Avery has a dance recital coming up and she has to have curly hair.  We decided to use the sponge rollers over night to make the optimal curl.  Alexis decided she wanted curly hair as well so I rolled them both up.  I thought they looked so cute all rolled up like little old ladies, that I just had to take a picture!  :)  Love them!

Sweet Shop Cottage Fair

Alexis had her last cottage fair of 1st grade.  She learned so much this year and loved her teacher as usual.  It was so much fun watching her show us all that she had learned about the food groups and her science project.  She is so sad to leave 1st grade and her teacher Mrs. Mendoza, but I'm sure she will love 2nd grade just as much!
