My Little Lollipop


Lizzie recently starred in her first recital. Well, I say "starred" but she was with a group of cute little sailor girls. But this was the wrap up of her ballet/tap class for the year. It was SO much fun watching her perform and made her mommy and daddy VERY proud!! They did a tap routine to "Good Ship Lollipop" and I do believe got the biggest round of applause after their performance!! (That could be the proud Mommy talking though again...).


The best part for me, I think, was during the morning performance (they did a morning and an evening performance) when she spotted us in the audience and just locked eyes with us and had the BIGGEST smile on her face the whole time!! Then when she came back out for the big finale at the end, she once again spotted us and had a big grin on her face and waved to us again!!

This picture is a shot of her in action during the performance.



Here is a link to a video of Lizzie at dance practice a few months ago. I will try to get the dress rehersal version up on here, if I can figure it out...

Here are some pictures we took on "Picture Night" at practice.





After the pictures were taken they danced in their outfits for the first time and the parents got to watch!!








Good job Lizzie!! You did a great job and Mommy and Daddy are proud of you!!

The Birthday Boy!!

Believe it or not, Mr. Dylan is now one!! It doesn't seem like it could have already happened, but it has. Of course he doesn't have a clue as to what is happening and what a birthday is, but Big Sissy knows what a birthday is!! We woke Dylan up to singing "Happy Birthday" and he got his imfamous grin on his face, but I still don't think he knew what was going on!! He knew his favorite person - Lizzie - was in the room!! We later did it again with Daddy on the speaker phone singing too.

That night was Lizzie's T-ball practice and after T-ball we had cupcakes. Dylan is a boy after his mommy's heart - he LOVES chocolate!! He did not leave a bit of that chocolate cupcake to spare!! Frosting and ALL!!

Here are a few pictures of the cupcake eating!!
