Pink Dogs Recital

The photo quality is bad, but here's the best of the rehearsal photos

Nana, Papa and Cinderella waiting for the show to start

I know this is blurry, but isn't my girl just breathtaking...

My Goddaughter and Godson and my Star

After the show, Pink Dog was awarded lots of flowers and prizes

Pink Dog did a fabulous job in her dance recital. This is her fourth year dancing and by far the best performance ever. She really grew so much this year. It helped that her God sister was teaching her class. Pink Dog adores her and really looks up to her. I am so proud of my girl. She is rather shy and doesn't care to take too many chances, but tonight she shined!

VBS

My girls praising our Lord!

Vacation Bible School concluded with a show for the families. It was a wonderful ending to a fun week for the girls. I am in awe that my girls learned so many songs and signs in just one week.
Singing so sweetly

Cinderella really belts it out.

Dancing to the groove

Shouting for joy

Praising, praising, praising

My Angel Girl

Here Jesus is her best friend

Here they wake up in the morning and say Jumbo, Jumbo to the Lord.

(Jumbo is Swahili for Hello)

Water Fun, the 2nd party

This is the second party of the day for Cinderella. She LOVED climbing up and sliding down. These are some of the children that she knows from daycare.

Up she goes...

Then down...

The reward; the pool at the bottom.

The Horse Party

Love the pink boots with attitude.

Cinderella was invited to a Cowgirl birthday party. She had a blast and was able to do a lot of fun things. This was her first time to ride a horse.

Talking to the bunny and the chicks.

She chilled with the birthday girl

She looked out at the pasture and checked out the horse in true cowgirl style

Here she is after her first ride

The first time riding Mater

She made a stick horse

She checked out the roosters and hens that kept cockadoodle doing

She tossed around the horseshoes

She had stick horse races

It was a great time.

How Funny is This!!!

Seriously, how funny is this?

My 6'4" big brute of a brother and I got our hair done at the same time. I love that I was able to capture this moment. Here is Mr. Attorney at Law reading his Cosmopolitan while his hair is wrapped and being processed under the dryer, all the while wearing his animal print cover. I love that I was there and captured it all.

It looks like he is into a really good story.

He said he used to read Cosmopolitan all the time years ago when he went to the salon. He was able to keep up with what girls want. He said it came in handy when dating - ha! Gosh I love this guy.

Dance Classes

Pink Dog takes her lessons very seriously

I love how the girls look here

Is it just me or is "A Chorus Line" coming to mind?

Sweet Angel

Loving this move

The dance recitals are only a few weeks away and I was able to see both girls dances at their class this week. They both did terrific. I think their recital will be wonderful. This is Pink Dog's fourth year and Cinderella's second.

Best Friends

This is Pink Dogs Best Friend C. They totally love each other. I am so happy that my girl has a close friend. C came to Pink Dogs school about 6 weeks after first grade began. It was the beginning of a beautiful thing. They have so much in common. They are both the tallest girls in first grade. They both have black hair. One was born in China and the other has a Chinese father. Their birthdays are only 6 days apart. How wonderful that God placed in my girls life a friend that she can relate with so well.

Here Pink Dog is letting C borrow her gloves at the ice skating rink. C was so happy to get them because she was freezing. We are hoping that we can get the girls together a lot during the summer and hope that they get in the same class again for second grade. C was very shy when she arrived at her new school. Pink Dog has lots of friends, but didn't have that one special friend yet. They both needed each other.
