Recital pictures to come....

Thanks to everyone who came to Megan's dance recital last night. She was so cute and we really appreciated you making the trip. I kind of feel like I have post overloaded today, so I will wait a few days to post the recital photos. It will give you something to look forward to. :)

Summerfest

We had a great time at Summerfest this year! Megan and Jaxton loved the Art Yard. They made froot loop necklaces, painted, made gigatic bubbles, and did a couple of different crafts. I think they would have been happy to stay there all day. I managed to drag them out of there eventually so I could get myself a shaved ice. :)

Sugar High

Yes, I bought them each a huge cotton candy. Don't judge me.

New Bike!

Megan finally got a big kid bike! She is kind of scared to ride it because she thinks it goes "too fast". This is mostly due to the fact that our street inclines very slightly. So I have to stay right next to her while she's riding it so she doesn't freak out that she's going to go to fast and not be able to stop. We have been having fun with it, though, and taking rides around the cul-de-sac.

Riding bikes with a friend is fun!

Nature walk

Megan and I went on a little walk around our neighborhood one day, and she was really enjoying all the fun stuff we saw--flowers, dandelions, bugs, you name it, we stopped to look at it. This was such a fun walk, until Megan said she had to go to the bathroom and we had to run all the way home. :)

Annie Get Your Gun

So I'm finally getting around to putting up some photos from Annie Get Your Gun. Almost a month after it closed. Yeah, I'm really on top of things. Here are a few shots from the show. I know you're all going to love the last one.

Backstage at Annie Get Your Gun

Here are a few backstage photos. One with my friend Paul (that mustache--ick!), who I have done three shows with in the past year--Millie, Savior of the World, and this one. He is my other brother. (Sorry, George.) And another with my friend Molly, who is the craziest, funnest girl you'll ever meet. I love my red and gold ball gown!

Scared of the Dark???

I just had to tell this story about Jaxton cause it's about the funniest thing I've ever heard him say. Last weekend, I went up to Mom and Dad's house to help get things going for the office remodel. Since Angela and Kessee are in the Philipines, Gabby and Jaxton are staying up there. On Monday morning, I had gone into the downstairs bathroom to change my clothes and I shut the door behind me. While I was in there changing I heard Jaxton start coming down the stairs to get some toys. He stopped about halfway down the steps and realized all of the lights were turned off in the basement, so it was pretty dark down there. Not knowing I was in the bathroom, he yelled, "Grandma or someone, will you come turn on the lights downstairs? I'm scared." So, I yelled back, "I'll come turn on the lights!" There was a little pause and Jaxton asked, "Um....are you a ghost???" We all got a pretty good laugh out of that one! Kids say the funniest things.
