Peyton's Dance Recital 2012

Peyton had her dance recital last month.  She was in 3 dances and loved every minute of it!! She of course did amazing! She is a natural and we love watching her get up there and perform!

Way to go, Peyton!

California

Peyton had a half day on her last day of school so we had the car packed and headed straight to California as soon as she got out!  We were meeting our friends in Newport for the week so decided to go a day earlier and spend some time together just the 5 of us.  We stayed at a hotel in San Diego and then woke up and went to Sea World!  We took the girls night swimming and make smores on our patio!  Such a great time!  Sea World was so dead so it felt like we had the entire park to ourselves. It made for  some great quality time with our girls

SMORES!!

 Presley loved feeding the Sea Lions...we could of spent all day feeding these things....

 Presley is my roller coaster girl!  So is mommy so it works out great.  Trevor and Peyton pace the bottom of the ride until they know we are safe.  This picture was Presley and I before the coaster went down the hill.....

Then we headed out to Newport Beach to meet The Dunnes (flew in from ATL) the Vaughn's and the DiLandri's.  All together there was 18 of us!  8 adults and 9 kids!  Such a great trip and the kids play all day!  I didn't take a ton of pictures but here are a few.

Graduates!

We wrapped up the school year!! Presley finished her 4's class and will be doing one more year at La Casa ( summer baby and we decided to hold) in their Pre-K program.  She has grown so much this year and is social and busy girl.  I am excited to have her home with me one more year before we send her to Kindergarten...crazy how fast it goes.

Daddy Daughter Dance

Peyton and Trevor had their first daddy daughter dance!  So fun. The theme was denim and diamonds so they got cowgirl/boyed out!  It was a long dance (2 1/2 hours) and Peyton made Trevor dance the entire time!  They closed the dance down!!  With 3 girls in the line up Trevor will be dancing the rest of his life!

Not the best pictures....Piper was trying to squeeze into every photo

Baby Girl James

My beautiful sister is having a baby girl at the end of June and my mom, sister Jenn and I threw her a shower last weekend. We had so much fun with this stork theme! Everything turned out wonderful and she got so much fun stuff for their baby girl! Conrats Kevin and Lindsay- we can't wait to meet her. Thanks for letting me host the shower and be a part of your special day! Here are some pictures of the shower!
