Dance Recital

Tonight was Alexis' first dance recital. She did such a great job! She did both tap and ballet, and she remembered all of her steps. The recital was so cute, and at times, hilarious... we had a great time!

Doesn't she look so much older with her hair up in a ballerina 'do'?

Doing some tapping...

Ballet...

Parade

Yesterday we went to the Orland Day's parade. Both kids loved it, although Alexis says she loves it even more when she is IN a parade. Last month she was in a parade with me and my coworkers, and that was just about the greatest day of her life! Dave was in complete awe of all of the firetrucks. He definitely loves his trucks.

Alexis was reading to Dave while we waited for the parade to start...

The trucks are coming!

Very exciting!

Free candy?!? This is great!

Summertime

Summer has most definitely arrived. We have been getting in a lot of pool time. Dave loves the water, but spends all of his time above it... he never sits down in there!

We have found that the pool and the sandbox side by side are not the greatest combination... although the short people seem to love it.

Huge hawk in the tree!

Preschool Graduation

Alexis is officially a preschool graduate! Gramma Debi came to visit and we all went to Alexis' preschool graduation show. She is growing up so much, and we are so proud of her!


Alexis was a 'hot tomato' in her preschool show. She had to fan herself with her arms and say "I'm a hot tomato!" into the microphone, and then she sang a song with the other kids.

Cort, Alexis and Gramma Debi after the show...

Proud parents!

Alexis loved her balloons!

Now on to kindergarten!
