Handy Manny

It's nice to have our own Handy Manny (Disney show for those of you not in the preschool loop). James has been working hard around the house. This week he did another set of windows. This time he did the dining room windows, last time the living room ones.

Aaahhhhhhhh!! Oh, pshew, I thought that was Jason coming to get us for a second!!

James on the "stage" he made to do the job.

The window on the right is new. The other one, in progress.


I will have to take pics of the windows in and done. I haven't had a chance to do that yet. It's looking better all the time!! Good job, honey!

June Fete

This weekend was the June Fete. Our awesome neighbor, Nicole, gave us tickets for admission. We headed over on Sunday and had a blast!

Livi pretends to not like rides. She cries and says no when you try to put her on, like she is starting to do in the pictures below. Once the ride starts, she warms up to it. After it is over, she says, "I have fun!" What a goober.

She really didn't want to do this one, and I'm not sure if she liked it, she never let go of the sides once it started moving. She still said, "I have fun!" though.

After the boats, I asked if she wanted to go on the cars. She whined and said no, but she LOVED it. She was smiling and waving. That was BIG fun.

Juli LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the roller coaster. (She's in the second car)

We convinced Livi to go on the dragons against her will. She was smiling and yelling wheee! Go figure. (They are the two little heads in the middle there.)

Livi wanted to go on the motorcycles with Juli, but she was too short. Maybe next year kiddo. Juli had a blast though.

We had some ice cream, played some games, made some sand art and spin art. Overall, it was a good day!

Waiting for the show to start.

That's about all the pictures we have from the recital. We weren't supposed to have cameras there.

That being said, here's a video. LOL

(Can't get the video to work right now, but will post it later)

Dance Recital Rehearsal

The girls had their rehearsal tonight. They were SOOOOO cute! They did great on the stage and had a good time. We had to wait a REALLY long time for the professional portraits to be taken, but everyone was patient and well behaved, mostly.

Getting the pep talk from Ms. Tracy.

I have a video I will get posted later, so check back.

Girls, Girls, Girls

While I was at Karen's shower, the girls stayed with Aunt Jenn, Aunt Karen and Sara. Looks like they had fun as once again, one of the aunts found my camera and put it to use.

Sara is such a good sport. Even being mangled by Livi and falling over she is still happy!!

Karen's Baby Shower

Today was Karen D.'s baby shower. It was a great time and she got a lot of great things!

Cute dress clothesline.
