Dance Recital

Shaye and Sydnee have both been doing dance this year.  Shaye took a hip hop class, and Syd was in a tap/ballet class.  The recital was on Saturday, and it was so cute!  Neither of the girls were ever very enthusiastic about going to their weekly dance class, but they loved performing and did a great job.

Her ballet dance as second.  By that time she had really been bitten by the stage bug.  She did a lot more "acting" in her second dance.  She was shaking her hips and smiling and having a ball!



Shaye's hip hop dance was lots of fun.  She really got into it, you could see the attitude on her face while she was up there doing the moves.  They had one part of the dance where all the girls did a solo move.  Shaye threw her legs under her in a circle like a break-dancer.  It was really pretty cool!







Oh how Sydnee loved her flowers.  And this is the first trophy she has gotten.  She was very proud of her things and didn't want to let them go.  She carried all of it on stage with her for the finale.



Once again, living in Houston is great because family gets to come to these type of events.  All the other kids always had grandparents and large crowds, and now our kids have spectators too!  Even Jaxson with his blue candy lips thought the girls did a good job!

Memorial Day

We headed to Surfside Beach for Memorial Day this year.  As long as you go early, its a great day to go.  And the beach is always a sure bet when it comes to the kids.  They don't care if its full of seaweed or crowded, they have so much fun!  The big kids built sand castles and dug a huge hole to get in, the little girls played on at the edge of the water all day splashing in the waves, and everybody had fun swimming and visiting.

As always, Paige wasn't sure at first.  She didn't like the sand on her feet or the waves, but it didn't take long before she was venturing too far out and I had to keep bringing her back in.  My little dare devil!
