Big day!

On Wednesday we had a big day at our house! Jadyn graduated from preschool and is off to Kindergarten in the fall! They had a cute ceremony for the class that day and the kids were so adorable in their graduation hats! AND I found out today that Jadyns wonderful teachers who I ADORE, are also going to be Heidi's teachers in the fall!






That same night was also Jadyn and Heidi's ballet recital. All through the program I kept thinking to myself that I am glad that we aren't continuing with dance (Jadyn isn't interested anymore and Heidi we are just going to do for another year or two until she is old enough to do other things) but when they came on stage I was a little sad that we aren't! they were so cute!!
It's not that there was anything wrong with the recital, it's just that as they get older, the music they are dancing to, what they are wearing, and some of the moves... well I just don't want my girls to be a part of that!

Fun backstage


I was a little nervous that Heidi would walk on stage and see all the people and get nervous and just stand there, but she surprised me and finished the whole way through, in fact she was the last one off stage, she didn't seem to want to get off!

Jadyn loves the spotlight!

With their teacher, Miss Bethia

Grandma and Grandpa Tagg and Grandpa Taylor came to watch the big show.

I am a beaming mommy!

ps my friend Mika made the entire costumes (except the headbands which I made) she is so talented!!!

pps. After Jadyn's preschool wrap up picnic party this morning, she asked if she could plant her flower balloon in the garden, of course I said sure, and then forgot about it, until I cam home from grocery shopping later on. What a doll!

ppps I am planning on fixing the grass growing through the wall problem soon, in case you were worried...

It's amazing how a recital like that can get to us eh? All dressed up and on stage - so fun!

Can't wait to see what Jadyn's next activity will be - any ideas yet?

Hailey, she will be doing Gymnastics in the fall! She is sooo excited. And continue with swimming too, and josh really wants to get her started on piano in the near future too. And no I cannot believe they are this old already! In the fall they will be 5, 3 and 1! Nuts!

That is fun that they had a graduation for the preschool. The school here doesn't do one which made me kindave sad. Oh well. Cute dance costumes. We too aren't doing dance next year. jaycie didn't really love it and doesn't want to go in next year so who am i to argue? It made me wish that she would reconsider after i saw how cute she was during the recital but alas. Great job on the headbands.
