Happy Mother's Day

This is my new kayak I had planned to debut today. I was sick instead, but I can't wait to get it out on the lake!

Ben's first sandbox experience. He loved it and played for about two hours! Will says he's a natural outdoors!

All smiles in the sandbox

Just diggin' in the dirt

At least they all had a wonderful day...that's what matters!

Our First Dance Recital

Fancy Footwork!

Good job, Emma!

Now that's steppin'

Emma was a little ham. She came out smiling and they actually had to walk her off of the stage at the end. I think she liked being at the center of the audience's attention. Kate doesn't seem to care as much for dance and frequently tells me she wants to stay home, but she was a trooper for the recital and they both did an awesome job!

Two Little Gymnasts!

I think I can do that too!

A balancing act.

Notice there is no spotter here. Kate slipped in a little extra action while waiting on the next task. Pretty good for a two year old!

This was at the end when Kate was scolded for not sitting while the others finished their routines...that's my Kate! She went first out of her group and didn't miss a step. In fact, she added a few. I think she enjoys the freedom of gym moreso than the rigid dance routines.

Emma stretching it out!

Emma on the rings!

They both did a wonderful job at their first gym showing!
