The Time..

Saturday morning Bella had her dance recital rehearsal..That meant all dolled up and ready for pictures and a run through of how this Friday is gonna run...She looked so grown up, and it scared me!

 Lainey, Abby & Bella received their awards in Dance...

 I LOVE this picture!!! I kept telling her to make sure she smiled, and she did a great job!

 OK...Scary red glowing eye alert!

Abby &  Bella.....do you like the .98 cent hot pink lipstick? Can anyone say..... Wet N Wild?? do they even make that anymore?

 This one was a little washed out..... But they could almost be sisters!

Looking forward to the real thing....she looked great up there! I explained this is the reward for all her hard work! I am going to video her 2 dances, and try to figure out how to use YouTube...so everyone can see it!
Happy Day All!

Blurry But Pretty

So we had crazy weather over the weekend..and I decided after the rain was gone and the sun glowingly was peeking out, that I would take a few pictures..

For the life of me I could not figure out why they were a bit hazy and blurry...well the next day I realized WHY...The VR (vibration REduction got switched to off on my camera)

Saying GoodBye

So Thursday was Brynne's last day of preschool...Bitter sweet for sure! I am so happy at how much she has grown there, learned there, made friends and LOVED there...learned about God, Participated as a group, shared special times with friends and the entire experience on a whole, has been everything I could have wanted for her first time at school!
Saying Good bye is never easy, and I really do not look forward to the next month or so when more goodbyes will have to come...I Hate good byes.

Scott and I went to her class party, got to see their circle time routine, days and month, and their calendar..who gets to be line leader and help with snacks...they did some songs and dances for us! It was sssooo cute!

The start of circle time..

 Kambryn and Brynne...best friends!

 These two were inseparable....

 Brynne did the date...May 19-2011

 During one of the songs, all the girls hugged Brynne...Leah, Whitney, Brynne and Kambryn..so cute

 Brynne and Zack...Cooper and Kambryn

 The hugging was hilarious, they thought so too!

 Sweet Girls....

 Mrs. Cindy, Brynne and me...

 Zack and Brynne....

 this girly loves her Daddy....

So something I did not expect to happen did...and it killed me. We were all saying good bye, Brynne hugged her friends, and then when it came time to say good bye to Kambryn, she cried. We made our way to Kambryn, and then once she hugged her, Brynne was standing there, with her head down. Really I did not think anything about it, I said "Brynne, come on", and when she looked up at me, that was it! Her face was a little red, and I saw her lip quiver....she started to cry. OK, talk about heart break, and I lost it.

I did not think she would react this way, Scotty and Bella never did..but Brynne is different...

she is me..to a T.

The ride home, she kept pulling out her bag, of all her special things from school, along with a book that Ms. Cindy had made...and she would talk to the book, and she would cry a little. Talk about feeling like a loser! I feel like I am disrupting their lives...again....this is an awful feeling..I keep being Thankful that they are young, that they are resilient, that they will be happier in the long run because we will all be together, but that is hard to see "RIGHT NOW", especially for them.

So since then, just about everyday I pick up her things and put them back in her back....every day she takes them out and looks for them....

This is going to be a long summer.....

Dallas Arboretum

This is a little late, kinda like my life lately....late, unorganized, hectic, chaotic and the list really could go on and on...but I won't! Just bare with me as I try to keep up the next couple months with us relocating, Nicholas coming to visit and packing, which I have already started!!

Tuesday was Bella's field trip to the Dallas Arboretum...It is a huge place of tons of acres of well kept grounds and exhibits! I wanted to go there in early spring, because I saw the outrageous amounts of tulips and flowers that they are known for...but we did not make that trip. Her class did a green machine class and a pioneer day class, both were great! They really had a great time, and the weather was beautiful!!

 Mrs. Hoover's class...most of them!

 Some of the girls...

 They had the most amazing fowers...everywhere!

 Green Machine classs, where they learned about about seeds and how plants grow.

 dissecting the bean seed

 Mrs. Hoover and her son.... heart her  and her hat!

 Pioneer Exhibit

 The lady teaching the class had the kids close their eyes to imagine life, unlike it is today....I LOVE this picture..
