Recital

I have been looking forward to recital since the costume catalogs started arriving at the studio! Sami took three dance classes this year which meant three costumes and three dance pieces!
First up was Jazz. I thought this outfit was so bright and fun!

They danced to “Magic” by BoB. It was a cute dance. The girls all did a great job!

Next up was ballet. I was SO excited Sami had a tutu this year!

I made these hair bows for the girls hair…they were super fun to make!

They danced to “Angel’s Lullaby” it was so sweet…and yes I cried!

Last but not least was tap. The girls tapped to Annie’s “Hard Knock Life” they danced with sponges and buckets…it was ADORABLE! Sami and her “dance BFF” Fayeth even had cute little solo parts where they did the speaking parts. <3


All of the classes did a great job!!!! We were so impressed with how much she has grown as a dancer this year.

Memorial Day Weekend Fun

The weather over the long weekend wasn’t the greatest, but thankfully the sun was shining for a trip to the beach on Memorial Day!

Since the rest of the weekend was so yucky it appeared EVERYONE thought it would be a good idea to go to the beach. There was NO where to park…poor Matt dropped the girls and I off, and he parked FOUR miles away! YIKES!

The girls enjoyed themselves though! Skylar still isn’t too sure about the sand. She doesn’t like that it moves beneath her….but we did get her to play and dig a bit. She especially loved her Mickey Mouse Clubhouse pail and shovel!

Sami loves the beach! I am pretty sure she loves everything about it…sand, water, the sound of the waves…she loves it all!

Skylar kept yelling “wawweee” which is water. I kept carrying her down to the water, but she would not go anywhere near it. Funny girl! Sami filled a bucket with water and brought it back up to the blanket for Sky to play with.

I think Skylar was smart to avoid the water. It felt like it was full of ice cubes!!! A friend at dance later told me the water was 55 degrees! YIKES! No wonder it felt so cold. As you can see that didn’t stop Sami…

One of Sami’s favorite things at the beach is getting buried in the sand. Sometimes she reminds me so much of me when I was little.

We ended the afternoon with sand angels…so fun!

We are looking forward to many more fun days at the beach this summer!
