Fun in the water

This picture is after Kira's last night of recital on the way home. Think she'd had a long week?


Kaylee decided drawing on herself with the chalk was more fun.

We went to a park with water fountains for kids to run through. I didn't think Kaylee would even go in it so I didn't bring her swimsuit. Shows how much I know. She was the one I couldn't get to come out!

Kira is becoming quite the poser.

Updates and recital time!

Kira had her first dance recital tonight. She did great!! It was so cute to watch her dance. I was so glad to see her get out there and do a good job. She had a ball watching all the bigger "princesses" dance too. I think she's going to want to do dance again now. They got through most of the song just fine but then one girl got a little confused and went to the final pose instead of lining up for a little more of the routine. All the other girls didn't quite know what to do so they all eventually ended up in the final pose and they just kind of fazed out the music. It was pretty funny.

We went to the pool twice this week and the kids had a ball! Kira met some of her friends there and loved getting in the water and splasing around. Kaylee took a little while to warm up to it but then loved it too. We got a pass so I'm sure we'll be spending quite a bit of time there this summer.

We got a sandbox and slide playset for our backyard free from one of Kyle's clients who was moving. Can't beat that! The girls love playing in the backyard. I can actually let them go out and entertain themselves while I watch from the window and get a few things done in the house. I really enjoy that.

Other than that... nothing too much new. Just getting used to this heat and humidity we've had lately.

Getting ready for recital night.

The final bow.

Kaylee is so big and brave!

They both love the sandbox.

Our new playsets for the kids (courtesy of some clients of Kyle's). Thanks!

Kiki loves cuddling with Kira and Dad. They are the only ones he snuggles with.

Kira loves wearing her dresses.

Kira flew her new kite for the first time and loved it.

Kira has been pretending to "get married" lately. She came up with the veil and flowers herself.

Kira's Dress Rehearsal

Kira had her dress rehearsal for her dance recital on June 10th. They all looked so cute! Kira was behind a friend who decided she didn't want to move or dance. Kira was very confused and not sure what to do so she just waited her turn. Finally, she got in the groove with a little help but still was concerned about her friend. At the end, she's supposed to be back to back with the missing girl so again, she was not sure what to do. We can't video the actual recital (yes, they have DVD's for sale I am buying) so this was the best I could get so far. I'll post more pictures of her all dressed up on recital night which is this weekend. I'll post more updates and pics at that time too. Hope all is well!
