New Dance Photos

Here are a few of Brynna's latest dance pictures.

Enjoy!!

Influence

This one's for you Trish...

Set-up: Two weeks ago I introduced Brynna to the movie "Grease." She was mesmorized by all the songs and laughed at my singing of them.

Today: We were in the car and one of the DJ's said the name Sandy and in the back seat I start to hear "Oh, Sandy, babyyyyy. Oh, that Sandy."

I almost drove off the road from laughter.

Another generation of our family who loves "Grease." It makes my heart proud!

Brynna's First Day of Preschool!!

Yeah! Brynna finally started school!!
She loved going to meet her new teachers and new friends. When I asked her what her favorite thing was today she said: swinging, sliding, monkey bars, playdough, playing with the doll house, singing, and getting bubbles.
That pretty much covers the day!
P.S. She was awake at 4:30 this morning too!

Tiny Dancer

Brynna is participating in another Fairy Tale Ballet class with the local Park and Rec. program. Today was an Ariel dance and she was so cute with a hula skirt and flower in her hair. Then she fell apart...

Toward the middle of the dance she was to pick up a towel laying on the ground behind her. Well, one of the other girls took her towel. Instead of getting the remaining towel, Brynna sat down and cried her eyes out.

Hopefully next week will be better!

First Week of School Report

Well, Keelee has already found a new boyfriend, Cody. She also has two others in the wings, Bryton and Collin. She told me earlier this week she finally understands what the word "crush" means because Collin has a bad crush on her. He even sent home a love note - kind of a "check yes or no" type note.

She also told me that so and so thinks she is so popular and she's really not. Great, this garbage starts in first grade now!

It's going to be an interesting year.

Too Cute!!

Vidal Sassoon

Before I went to bed last night, I noticed a clump of hair in the sink. I picked it up wondering what doll this came from - then I realized it was real, and it was straight. I ran across the house and woke Brynna up to find a huge hole by her left ear. Great.

So, I took her to the kiddie salon today and she has a whole new hair cut. The stylist took off about eight inches - two inches shy of being able to donate it. Major bummer.

Anyway, now she really looks like mom!

First Day of School

Keelee started first grade today and she was so excited she could hardly sleep last night. This morning she was bouncing off the walls. I finally had to sit her down and read a book with her to calm her down. We'll see what she says when she gets home today. Hopefully, it's a good report!

Brynna starts in two weeks!!

I can hear the quiet calling me...

No more diapers or pull-ups!!!

Brynna has made much progress in the potty training department...we've finally gotten her down to just panties for all times of the day. So there might be a few wet nights but our budget is happier!!

Prize Winner!

We just got a call from the local library - Keelee won the grand prize for her age group in their summer reading program. She won a cute Disney Princess Fun Kit! Way to go Keelee!!

School Shopping

This past Friday the girls and I went on our annual school shopping adventure with Jenni and Abbey. A fun couple of hours was had by all. But the highlight of the day was Brynna telling me that she HAD to have a cheetah print skirt so she could be "cheeta-licious." Since she'd been so good and hadn't asked for anything else the entire day, I gave in.

More highlights...

Keelee's favorite place was in water; our strawberry picking haul; grabbing candy at their first parade; Brynna the mermaid!

A few highlights from our trip...

Brynna's two favorite spots were digging in the garden and "go faster" on the 4-wheeler; Keelee finally lost her first tooth - if she could have she would have announced it on national news!; mom's highlight was meeting Coach Lucia; mom and dad made news dolls for our girls at the MOA.

We're Home!

Sorry for the lack of posts - but you all know why...

We've been in Minnesota for the past month.

And what a lovely month it was.

Pictures to follow as soon as mommy gets some much needed sleep!

Happy Father's Day!!

To one and to all we hope you have a great day!!

Much love,
Keelee and Brynna

Lollipop, Lollipop, Oh, Lolli, Lollipop!!
