Dance Recital

Allison has her first official dance recital this weekend. Check back next week for pictures.

She is doing two acts - one ballet and one tap.

Here she is at rehearsal.

Ben the Bulldog

I would like to introduce everyone the Ben. He is the new addition to the family. He is my parents new dog. He is a six week old American Bulldog. Donovan and Allie love playing with him. It is amazing how fast they bonded with him. Ben comings running and wagging his tail when Donovan calls him.

A few more pics of Ben...

Katie bar the door, Allie's FOUR!

It is amazing how fast four years goes by.

Some of Allie's accomplishments in this last year are: she can write her name(Upper and lowercase), count to 30, simple math (1 + 1, which big brother taught her), and ride her bike (with training wheels).

She loves dance class, her blankie and jumping on the trampoline.

She is such a goofball! Some of the things she comes up with have a laughing so hard we cry! Her favorite joke (she came up with) is:

Knock, Knock...Who's there?...A rope...A rope who?...I rope you like knock knock jokes!

Of course she tells you this about ten times in a row!

Trampoline Fun

We bought a trampoline last year. We took it down for the winter and since the first day of Spring the kids have been bugging us to put it back up. Well, we finally did this weekend. Here they are having fun!

Family

Here are some recent pics of the family...

Bowling with the Champs

This Sunday we went bowling with the entire family (both sides) for Matt's Birthday. We had a blast and of course the birthday boy had the best score!! Glad we all could get together!

Yet Another

Donovan swallowed yet another tooth on Sunday. His lower right Lateral Incisor.

He refuses tell us when they are loose and when they are loose to pull them, so he lets them get so loose that they are barely holding on. So he swallowed another one eating Easter Dinner at Busha's house.

That would be number 5 lost, in case you are counting.
