Dance: Bay and June

Here is Bay at her final recital. She did wonderful. She does every step and sings loud when she is suppose to. She finally "got the gold", as she would say. Good Job Bay! She is happy to have June in her class with her this year. We may have to separate them in the line though. We'll see. Hopefully we won't have to have separate classes because it will be nice to wait on them at the same time in one trip.
Here is June's Summer 5 week "mommy and me" class. She loved it and is excited to take dance a full season with Mrs. Connie this year.

Lately

Haven't posted in a while. Bay has managed to get her finger caught in a mouse trap and get stung by a bee this past week. Poor girl. God is making her stronger through it all. She needs these things. We were eating at a Chinese restaurant in lexington with Tony's dad and the girls went to the other side of the room to play with some other children. next thing you know, I heard Bay crying. The other daddy said she must have touched the mouse trap in the corner. Her finger was blue, but fine. not broken. I was mad and distugsted that they even had a need for mouse traps. yuck. I guess Bay learned her lesson. Too bad we had not dicussed the dangers of those thngs but ya know mouse traps don't come up very often around here. thank God. She did fine with the bee sting. no allergies or anything. Now we just clean and organize while we wait for Grandma to come visit. Bay's cowgirl birthday party this Saturday. I have a lot of prep work to do. I hope we have the money to do it. It will be a shopping scramble the day before the party since Tony gets paid friday. The weather is suppose to be wonderful. Pictures to come.

bunk bed day 2

Bay and June both took a nap on the bottom bunk together. Bay didn't like that at first. She told june to get back in her bed. That night june slept up top and bay at bottom. And that's the way it has stayed.

Bunk Bed day 1

Bunk Bed day one. or night one since we put it together right before bed. Bay slept on bottom and June slept on top. I felt comfortable with June on top with the rail. Plus she is a super duper climber as I saw today at the park. There is a good climbing tree which June loves to climb. all the way to the top. I had to go and get her. Monkey!

Garden Photography

Our flower and veggie gardens are blooming and fruitful. Praise God for His beauty and nourishment. Our bean pole teepee is almost full.

Inside the teepee looking up. I have some orbs at the top with fabric, string etc. inside them for the birds to use in their nest.

I am so behind on blogging. Posts to come include Bay's dance recital and June's first dance class.

Mama cow took her calves out for lunch

Today is national cow appreciation day. We dressed as cows and went to Chick-fil-A for a free lunch. I kept thinking about all the people that would be staring at us and how stupid I felt. Once we got right inside the door people began wanting our pictures. I wish I would have painted the spots on instead of pinning them. The spots wanted to curl up and therefore you can't see them very well in the pictures. WayFm 105.9 was there and took our picture too. It is suppose to be on their website. We went to to counter and ordered our food while everyone smiled and cheered for us. we must have been their first cows for the day. The manager actually brought our food out to our table. The girls got a cow toy and a balloon too. Pretty Cool day. Tomorrow is Bob and Larry from Veggie Tales at the christian bookstore. Luckily we don't have to dress up for that one.

She got the gold...and we are still paying for it.

Bay finished her first year of dance classes. She truly is a natural dancer with rythym and drama. She did wonderful at her recital and got her first gold trophy. I still owe her teacher the last month dues. Not sure if she will do it again next year. I definitely think she should pursue it later. I would love to try gymnastics. Not sure if i can afford it though. They even have iceskating here. Wouldn't that be awesome in the future.
