Laela's First Dance Class...

Laela was taking a small dance class at daycare, but she started the real 'dance school' today.  She goes every Monday evening and she will have a recital in May! 

 Madelynn is joining us too!  (I LOVE this picture because it really shows their personalities.)

 Well...I was a little blind-sided by this one. Laela was so excited. She has been talking about dance for months now. This girl has shown us moves that I didn't even know existed...then...we stepped into the room and she started crying.  Oh my GOODNESS!  Laela cried for almost 10 mintues (Not as long as she cried for her first soccer game, so that is progress.)  She did not do any of the tap.  Then came ballet.  They changed shows and she did not perform, but she didn't cry!  Then they did a little tumbling and she did her roll-over and table-top walk!  Here she is doing stretches (or at least thinking about doing them!)

 Oh the way home she told me, "Mom, I will do better next Monday!"  No prob Laela.  You make me crazy, but I still love ya!

BTW....when we got home, Laela put on her tap shoes and she did everything the teachers did.  She wasn't perfoming today, but she was listening ... which is what I told her to do ... always be a good listener at school!  :)  LOVE THAT GIRL!  Soon she will be rockin' it.  It may take her a little bit to get warmed up, but she will do GREAT! 

Circus 2012...

We took our yearly trip to see Ringling Bros. Circus. This year, the Eung's and Parker's joined us and we had a great time!

 The beginning had everyone on stage and it was awesome!

D was all eyes and ears! This was his first circus, so he was taking in everything!

Okay...lasted for the first 40 minutes and then he was OUT!  (Yes...he napped through the CIRCUS...elephants, tigers, clowns, LOUD music, etc.)  Way to go, son!

About 45 minutes of nap was all he needed! 

Thought this picture was awesome, but it is turned sideways (and I can't seem to fix it.)  SORRY! 

First haircut for D...

It has been time for the last month or two, but I worried about his swivel head!  L and I were a the kid salon getting her hair trimmed up (pictures at the bottom) so I just scheduled D an appointment.  He getting wings on the back sides and the top was just too long.
Before...

This kid was watching EVERYONE's movement!  He also heard music (no one else heard it) and he was dancing like crazy during his haircut, but the lady continued to cut and did awesome!

 The after...   :)

 Happy pictures with his handsome new haircut, daddy, and sister!!!  We were all so proud of our little buddy!

And L's trim because at least 2 1/2 inches off of her hair. It look so much better and I think she feels better now. She is constantly wanting to wear her hair down, so this will help a little with the heat and tangles! This was her 4th or 5th haircut, but she has never had her hair washed by the stylist. Ahhhhh...

After...

Now the kiddos are ready for 'back to school'!  :o)
