One more gift...

I keep forgetting to write about this, but Olivia got another great birthday gift from the Arkansas Grandparents!  She got a really cool dancing Barbie doll!  We finally got it up and going--she takes 10 batteries!!!  Olivia has enjoyed dancing with her in the kitchen.  It is really cute!

Tiny Dancer

Olivia started dance today!  We found a great place that offers age appropriate classes and incorporates ballet, tap and tumbling.  She is in a class for 3-4 year old girls--but Olivia is the oldest.  She was so excited about taking dance and for over a week now she has asked everyday if it was the day to go to dance.  Today they did some ballet and then some tumbling.  She loved every minute and didn't want to take her dance clothes off when we got home!!!  Here are some pictures of what she did today!

 So excited before class!

 In the ballet room.

Hula-hoop!!  The cute part was that she was turning around as she turned the hula-hoop!

This looks like one of Nana's pilates moves!

Balance beam!

Tumbling stretches!

Oh what fun she had!  I bet next week she will be even more ready!  Next time should be tap!

Pool Fun!

Olivia got a great (big!) pool from Grandpa LJ and Grandma Linda for her birthday.  Today we decided that it was time to get it put up. It took a while to blow up and a long time to fill it up, but the kids sure did have fun!  Now to wait for the water to get warmer!

Thanks Grandpa LJ and Grandma Linda!!

Football

Jake started a new adventure this spring, which was flag football!  He really loved it and he was pretty good too!  He even scored a touchdown this season!!

Notice how he has to wear his hat each time!  I don't know what it is, but he has to wear the hat and backwards! :)

Jake turns 9!

I can't believe this but Jake turned 9 this year!  He had a great birthday this year!  Here are some pictures from the last of the events.
