Dance Recital

Abby's first dance recital was on June 2nd.  She was a beautiful dancer, the class leader!

 Before the dance recital.  Abby wanted a picture with Livi and Papa.....Livi did not want to cooperate.

Abby wasn't in a picture-taking mood, and her costume came off almost as soon as we walked in the door.  She did let me get a few pictures with her flowers though.

I love the one below....my little diva actress!  Maybe I'll use this one when she wins her first Oscar.....

I am so thankful for Modern Dance Arts and Abby's teacher, Miss Felicia.  My little girl LOVES dance, puts her whole heart into it, and is GOOD at it.  More than anything, it was such a gift to me to see her up there on the stage dancing her little heart out!

Scooter Crash

It's ok to laugh---she wasn't hurt.  I think my favorite part is the little "uhhh" sound she makes at the end!!

Sorry....

Seriously....where does the time go????  I swear I just blogged a couple of days ago........

Volcano Fun

Dave and I introduced Abby to baking soda/vinegar volanos.  It took her a minute to 'get it' but then she couldn't get enough!

In fact, we used up the white vinegar AND apple cider vinger in the house!  And had a nice, colorful driveway until the next rain......

Happy 4th birthday!!

A few pictures from Abby's 4th birthday party at the Tiger Safari.  It was a hot but a lot of fun!  Will try to go on a cloudy day next time though! 

Sitting under the shade looking at the smaller animals

The coolest part (for me, at least) was that Abby got to feed a tiger.  With a long stick, but still.  You can see it jumping up in the second picture.  Who knew they eat raw chicken??

 And here's the birthday girl!!

She cleaned up, as usual.  She got Princess dresses, puzzles, lots of toys, chapstick, and her favorite-- a scooter!  She's a madwoman on the scooter now-- going to have to teach her how to use the brake better!!!
