Our Blog

This blog spot is primarily a photo/memory album for our family. It also serves as a way for us to share what is going on in our lives with our friends and family that don't see us on a regular basis. Ashley, Worth, Ellie, Emma, and Mack

The calm before the storm

It was a pretty laid back week this week. Ellie had a parent observation night at dance. On these nights we get a sneak peak of their dances, but most importantly try on costumes and adjust as needed. Mack had a couple of T-ball games in which he is improving with each game. We actually had nothing to do this weekend, which has been nice. Mack and Worth went to Monster Jam in Tallahassee, FL. The girls and I stayed in Valdosta and got some summer clothes shopping taken care of. Ellie has, all of a sudden, shot out of all of her shorts. They look like underwear on her, so we had to go buy some bigger shorts and some new summer dresses. As much as I hate to admit it, it was so nice to shop with the girls minus Mack. Ellie even commented, "Mom, it IS really fun to shop. I never usually like it because Mack whines the whole time." We missed him, but we got a lot done in a short amount of time minus the really cute 4 year old monster.

The end of this upcoming week will be Emma's 7th birthday. This week we will be preparing for her birthday party which will be Saturday. It is REALLY hard to grasp that sweet baby Emma is no longer a baby anymore. :( More to come on that next post!

Ellie in full concentration with costume donned. 

The ballet dance is beautiful 

Ellie's jazz class is 3rd and 4th grade combined. It is a HUGE class. So big, in fact, that they dance in groups taking turns during the performance onstage. There is not enough room on stage for all of them. They did such a good job though. It is amazing what these dance teachers can do and how creative they are with the performances. 

Jazz ready

I'm in love with the tap costume. Very 20s flapper girl. It's going to look great onstage. Tap is much harder this year. Ellie leaves tap with very sore toes and feet, but she has learned a ton this year, and she absolutely loves the class. 

Friday night on the new back patio furniture. Bowers pile up. 

Mack's ears were safely covered for the Monster Truck Jam. 

He had so much fun with his daddy, and continued to talk about it  all night and was still telling me about it this morning.
