The Big Recital!

This past Thursday was the big dance recital! It was held at the Opera House here in Eureka, and I think almost the entire town showed up. Seriously, people who didn't even have kids dancing came. It was packed and the audience was so fun, they cheered so loud and the kids loved it! I have been teaching dance and gymnastics for 4 months now and I love it. I was a little too busy at the recital helping all the girls get dressed and up on stage and all that fun stuff, so I didn't get any pictures but some other nice ladies took some, so when I get them I will post them. Here are some pictures of the little gymnastics class and of the little ballet class I have when they were at practice!


This is my smallest class, they are dancing to kiss the girl! Aren't they so cute! The little one on the left in the blue almost fell off the stage at the recital. I had to run up and push her back, it was a close call. But everything turned out ok.


Here they are again showing off some ballet moves. I had a total of 3 ballet classes, 2 hip hop classes, and one gymnastics class.


Here is Tayton in his gymnastics class. He had so much fun and everyone told me how cute they were on stage. Their song was "Let's Get Ready to Rumble!" It was cute and they did a great job, then they got medals at the end of their routine. Tayton was really excited!


Another picture of the gymnastics class, I had 12 kids in it but not all of them wanted to get their picture taken. Sorry, I didn't take any pictures of the other classes but I will post them later.


Look at how spoiled I am! My mother-in-law gave me flowers for the recital, and then the kids in my ballet and gymnastic classes also gave me flowers. I was so excited! Thanks everyone! I has so much fun at the recital!



Here is Tanna in her Easter dress after I washed it. She is feeling better except when she stopped throwing up she got an ear infection and right now she is getting her first tooth. Poor girl, she has only been sick once before this, I feel so bad for her.


So pretty!


Tanna's favorite thing to do right now is open up all the drawers and pull everything out, it is so fun for mom!


Caught Ya!



Last but not least, it is Taytons B-Day tomorrow! I can't believe my little boy is going to be 4! Happy Birthday Tayton, we love you!

Tanna is soo cute, and getting so big! And I can't believe Tayton is 4. Just yesterday we were both pregnant with our boys.

Holy cow, Tayton is going to be 4! Where does time go? I remember perfectly going to your baby shower when you were pregnant with him. I can't believe how fast they grow up. Happy Birthday Tayton!

Happy late birthday to Tayton. I hear that the longer it takes to get teeth the better off you are to not get cavities. Sariah and Erika's teeth are so spaced I don't think cavities will be a big problem. The Easter dress is adorable. We are going to Utah in June. Any chance you will be there too?

You're the best mom! Tayton is 4???? When did that happen? I love the dance pictures. I didn't know you were teaching; you would be the cutest little teacher. Those kids are so lucky!
Wow, Tanna is so beautiful! I love her adorable dress. Sorry to hear she was sick. Don't you just love ear infections?
You're so sweet to do something nice for your neighbor. That is so funny that you remember that, I barely remember it myself.
How is your brother in the DR doing? Where is he now?
I miss you guys! Please give Tayton a "Happy Birthday Hug" & Tanna a big hug from us.
