Wendy Gymnastics

Wendy has been taking gymnastics from DTDS this year and she has loved it.  Each week they do fun new things and her cartwheels are looking amazing.   She is already looking forward to taking again in the summer!

Lacie's Graduation BBQ

Lacie graduates next week so my amazing sister Alisha came down and threw her a fun graduation BBQ.  It was the perfect weather for it and we had so much fun visiting, eating, and asking her a million and one questions about her future plans.  I am so devastated to lose my free babysitter ---- I mean sister ---- but am excited for her to start such a fun, new chapter in her life.  CONGRATS LACIE!

Dance Recital

This was our first dance recital where we got to watch both of our girls perform and it was amazing.  The first night Wendy said it was scary but the second night she wasn't scared at all and said she had the "most fun ever"!  Emily performed with beginning company as part of the Opening Number and also Lollipop.  Wendy danced to the song Be Our Guest.  Alisha traveled all the way to watch them the second night and the girls were so excited.  Having her there meant so much to them.

Wendy's Preschool Graduation

I am still having a hard time believing my little girl is headed to kindergarten in the fall but we had so much fun watching her preschool graduation program.  They sang songs, had parts, and accepted their diplomas.  We were so proud of her.  She has really loved going to school.  Yep, she makes us call it "school", NOT "preschool! 
 

 

Baby Animal Day

Wendy was counting down to baby animal day for weeks.  She was so excited and was not disappointed.  We went with the Palmers and had so much fun.  LeeRoy took Wendy around to hold and watch all the animals while Lacie and Emily spent most of their time dipping string into wax and water to make a candle.  We also watched a sheep get sheared and made our own butter.  After we left we headed to Rupes for ice cream and lunch.  It was the perfect Saturday!

 

Dance Pictures

I just received dance pictures for the girls and they are so amazing.  Micha Wixom from Shuttergirl Photography took all of the photos and I love how they turned out.  Wendy wants to go buy a "big shiny purple frame" to put hers in and Emily already has hers up on her wall.

 

Draper Competition

Last weekend was Emily's last dance competition of the season in Draper, Utah.  This time Lacie watched Wendy so mom and Lorenzo could come with us.  We spent most of our time watching dances but were also able to sneak in some shopping during the day.  Some of Emily's friends and teammates were staying at the same hotel as us so they were also able to stay up late swimming and playing.  We had a great time and are now looking forward to the end of the season dance recital where we can watch both of our girls perform.
