blah blah blah blah blah

morning. well it is here. and it is now. so that's what i'll say!

ummm. oh yes. yesterday was the dress rehearsal for the girlies dance recital. it all went so well. except for the fact, i thought it started at four. and it really started at four THIRTY. oh well. i'm just glad my mom and sister came along too. and in my 'defense' there was another dad and his kids there shortly after four as well. so at least i wasn't the only one super early.

we got to video tape their practice run. amelya did so wonderfully!! it was beautiful to watch and she did all the moves. i didn't know if she would or not! there was one girl who stood there and sucked on her costume the whole time. this is also one of the girls who never participate in class because her and her sister are too busy sucking their thumbs. and after looking at the pictures her sister also didn't do much of the dance. i do not understand how their mom can be okay with that. wait. yes i do. she drops her kids off at dance and rarely watches them, so she maybe doesn't know that they don't do anything. someone should tell her. oh yes. amelya also showed off her lady-likeness and ate her boogers while on stage. see at one point they have to plug their noses. well she did that. felt some snot and then ate it. it's all on tape. so it'll be a fun video to share as she gets older!!

breigh's went wonderful too. except we didn't get it all on tape. they started as we were walking in. so of course with three other kids to bring in none of us were ready. amy did a great job catching most of it. and my pictures turned out only okay. so hopefully saturday i can get more. and better ones.

oh yes we can buy dvds of the show. for thirty dollars!?!? argh. that's ridiculous. so we'll see.

i was so proud of my girls up there. they did fantastic. i was nervous. i'm still a bit nervous because saturday the auditorium will be FULL! but i don't know if they will realize that anyway. so we'll see i guess. it'll be fine. because i'll pray about it. and pray for and with them. and they'll realize with jesus on their side-it's all good.

i'm loving my new camera. i did a 'photo shoot' with amelya and breigh yesterday. and took pictures at dance. so i'll leave you with loads of pictures!!

amelya during our photo shoot. this one was my favorite of her!
even with boogers she's a cutie!! :0)

what they did until the rehearsal started!! :0)
breigh posing!!

amelya posing. look at her get up on those tippy toes!

dustin chillin' in his carseat. but i must post pictures of him too!!

caitlyn. she wouldn't pose for me at home. but would sit wonderfully for me at the school. which means. whoo hoo. cutie pie pictures. this one was my favorite. and look at all that hair she's getting!!amelya concentrating hard on stage!!making her momma proud. a semi decent picture of breigh. i'm nixing the bow for the performance though. they have to do a sommersault. and it fell out after that and she was all worried. but still cute nonetheless!!

so there you have it. so darn adorable!! today is story time and mcd's day. tomorrow and friday i have no plans. and friday night is amelya's first recital. then saturday morning we'll rush around to leave the house and get to the recital by eleven fifteen. it's all good.

so have a great day. and peace out!!
