Mississippi Ballet Theatre Recital 2009

This weekend was Meghan's dance recital and this year even Connor participated! Meghan had several costume changes and even ventured a solo this year! Connor was a train conductor and danced to Thomas the Train-- he really did a great job. He was a little overwhelmed by the bright lights and stopped his dance to look up at the lights! They both really did a good job and we were so proud!!

Meghan and Jon even got to dance the father/daughter dance again this year. She really loved it and although I don't think Jon necessarily liked being on the stage I think he genuinely enjoyed dance with Meghan.

Dylan's Visit

My parents, Amanda and Dylan all came this past weekend to see Meghan and Connor in their dance recital and to celebrate Trevor's birthday. It was a good visit- even though I don't think they are quite used to the chaos that is our house!! We were all just amazed at how big Dylan is getting and how happy a baby he is! He is so sweet and hardly cries-- although he does like to scream!! He is really trying to crawl and I don't suspect it will be long before he figures it out!!

Easter

We had a really great Easter Sunday and hope all of our friends did as well. We dyed eggs, the Eater Bunny came (of course) and hid 42 candy filled eggs in our backyard while we were sleeping-- he even spilled some while he was jumping and left some candy on the grass. Connor wanted to know if I thought he hopped up high and hid eggs in the rain gutter-- I convinced him it wasn't likely! Kyle then hid all of the colored eggs for the kids to find and we made sugar cookie cutouts-- complete with a Xmas tree and a bat! We ended the day on the front porch watching the kids play with cars in the gutter of the street because it had rained so hard that the water was rolling!! What a day!

Connor's Olympics

Each year at Connor's preschool they have the Olympics- with opening and closing ceremonies! They each get a medal and it really is a fun day for the kids. Connor had a blast and loved getting his medal. They do all sorts of events- limbo, balance beam walking, horse races, basketball, etc. It was a lot of fun watching him!

Disney Part II

Well, it's been a while since I have updated my blog- life has been crazy busy since we got back from Disney World. Between all three of the younger ones playing ball, Trevor's karate and Boy Scouts, and Meghan's dance I feel like I spend most days running around like a chicken with my head cut off!I obviously can't put everything about Disney on this page- it would take up way too much room- but Meghan wanted me to put her princess pics up. We (just her and I) had lunch with the princesses at Epcot and she trully loved it. There were 5 princesses total and they each came to our table and said Hello to her and posed for pictures. Her favorite, as usual, was Cinderella.
