Emma's Fabulous Dance Program!!!

Emma started taking a Tap, Ballet, Jazz Combo class at our YMCA and it was been wonderful! The teacher is such a sweetheart who loves the kids and is an amazing dancer herself!

Emma's Amazingly Tangle-d Birthday Party

For Emma's 5th birthday, she wanted to do a Tangled birthday party. So, I started getting some ideas for an awesome birthday bash!!!
Her invites turned out so sweet and fun. What do you think?

We made 3 foot long blonde hair braids to hold barrets and flowers barrets for the girls hair. The girls LOVED the braids and danced around with them the whole party.

We were also really lucky to have one little boy invited.
And he LOVED making his Maximus stick horse!

Flower cupcakes were a hit! Who doesn't love beautiful flowers?!?!?!

Happy Birthday my sweet Emma! You are such a doll!

Chalk and Watercolors for Party favors!

Art supplies ROCK!

Sweet picture for her room!

Can you tell Emma LOVES this book? Funny girl!

And let's be honest here, what Tangled Party is complete without
LANTERNS!!!!!!!

Sarah's Piano and Emma's Graduation!

So it has been a month, but I am getting back to the blog! Yeay! Good job!

Sarah has been taking piano for 2 years and she LOVES it!
She had her Spring Recital in May and she did amazing! She played 2 songs- her Classical piece was "The Merry Widow Waltz" and her Contemporary song was "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".

Sarah loved both songs and practiced ALL.......THE........TIME!!!!!!

I was really proud of all her hard work. Her songs sounded wonderful. She has been working on dynamics (the louds and softs) and they were amazing!


Had to take a second to snap a picture with Sarah and her wonderful friend Ashton!


AMAZING piano teacher Jamie Snarr and Sarah! Thanks for all you do!


Quick silly family snapshot! We never get one with everyone looking. hahahaha!

The same night as the piano recital was Emma's graduation from preschool. It was a really fun evening!

Had to get a quick shot with Emma's great friend Regan (who is actually Ashton's little sister). Cute girls!!!!!!!


5 little ducks went out to play!!!!!!!!!!!!


Emma and her fabulous teacher Mrs. Lori! We love you and miss you already!


Getting her diploma!


Emma, what a doll! She is getting so big! Her teacher said she is VERY ready for Kindergarten and we can't wait!
