My Little Ballerina

Sam had her first dance recital last weekend. She is in a class called Creative Movements for 3 year olds and loves it. It is so funny because in her dance class and in preschool she is kind of known as the class clown, but at her recital it was down to business! She got pretty serious about her ballet moves and when she was on stage she was focused! There was no goofing off, or getting embarrassed, it was her time to shine and she knew it. It was hilarious!


There was much celebrating after the recital! Sam and her friend Brinley!


Nick surprised Sam with some flowers after her performance that she wouldn't stop smelling! What a good dad!
Both Nick and I were Proud Parents!


And where was Cooper during all of this you might ask??? Don't let this innocent look fool you!







This was the real Cooper during it all! Making messes and running around in the back! WE LOVED IT! What boy wants to sit and watch dancers honestly??? Instead they eat cake!

Christmas in July??

Nope... just feels like it! :)
We had our Ward Christmas Party last Saturday and the kids loved Santa! Cooper was a little concerned at first... but then realized that with Santa came free treats. He loves his treats!

Last year Sam was alittle afraid of Santa because one night I told her that she better stay in bed because Santa was watching her. From then on she thought someone was outside her window watching her. Not good mom! This year she seems to love him!


Just a few pictures of the kids enjoying the out doors. The weather is beautiful here in AZ and we are taking advantage of it! Cooper loves his rocks...



And Sam loves her trampoline!
