A Princess Recital!

Reese has been taking ballet at her school since January. She absolutely loves it and Wednesday which is ballet day is her FAVORITE day of the week. Since she is at school for ballet the dance recital was going to be the first time to see her in action. Reese had a tummy bug all week and we spent two days doing this...


and this...


Poor baby just did not feel good and I was starting to really worry if she would even be able to go to the recital. Fortunately by Friday she started to bounce back and was able to go to the recital on Saturday morning.

I don't really think she had any concept of what a recital even was but she was most excited because her teacher said they should wear makeup:)


Very thrilled with the makeup....


Y'all know I am NOT a good photographer so we snapped a few pics before the show and I thought I would rely on the professionals to take the actual performing pics:)



Nanny and Poppy with the tiny dancer!


My favorite pic of all...


Reese did great. She knew all the words to the songs and most of the moves. She wasn't shy at all! We are so proud of you sweet Reese!!

Mother's Day 2011

Reese and I made a trip to Oklahoma this year to spend Mother's Day with my momma. It was a quick trip and I didn't even think to take my camera but I snapped some pics with my phone.

Reese and Nanny planted some flowers. Reese loves gardening..aka "digging" so this was right up her alley.



After playing outside nearly all day we topped it off with a trip to Braum's. Yummy



Happy Mother's Day to all my sweet mommy friends:)

Easter at Primrose

On Thursday we got to go to Reese's school to celebrate Easter with her class. They had a little party for the kids and an egg hunt. While some of the Daddy's and staff were hiding eggs they kids entertained us with a few songs....this one was "I'm a little raincloud".


Followed by the Bunny Hop which Reese thought was FUN:) She was probably more "into" the performance then any of the other kids. That girl loves to sing and dance.

Finally it was time to hunt eggs. I snapped a quick pic while she was waiting in line to go outside. I love her REAL smile..rather then her forced smile that shows up sometimes in picutres.


Here she is with her teacher Mrs Bilquis whom Reese loves. I think Mrs Bilquis sings nearly everything she says to the kids. It's funny:)


This is Reese's little friend Caeden. As with most kids this age they have a normal love hate relationship...but I think they play well together most days:)

The Easter Bunny and more...

On Saturday before Easter we took Reese to the Easter egg hunt at St Andrews. They had much more then just eggs! There was a petting zoo..look at that huge turtle!



Reese really liked these little baby chicks. There was also a baby pig that kept squealing every time someone picked it up..it was making me laugh:)


There were 3 or 4 bounce houses. The lines were long for some of the attractions so we took turns waiting in line while Reese went to bounce..it worked pretty well.


There was several ponies at the pony ride. Reese wanted to ride with one that had her tail painted like a rainbow and she got lucky when it was her turn to get her first choice:) Some of the ponies were a little grumpy so I was kinda nervous!





We were waiting in line to see the bunny and right when it was our turn the Easter bunny had to go potty. No way! I was so proud of Reese that she waited patiently for him to return:)

Finally we see the Easter Bunny!!





After all that is was time for the egg hunt. Reese was pretty good at the egg hunt thing and she was particular to mostly pick either pink or purple eggs, her fav color of course! Ha! Love that girl!

The Circus

This past weekend we took a trip to the Shrine Circus. Reese nor I had ever been to a circus before so we were pretty excited:)



We saw some lions...


A whole bunch of elephants...


and talked to a clown:)



During intermission they brought out the animals for you to ride or pet. Reese wanted to ride this pony...and she had fun but the ride was really short.


I REALLY wanted to ride the elephant and since the pony ride was so short Reese decided she wanted to ride the elephant too...It was so cool! Those things are HUGE!







Reese's favorite part was the elephants dancing and acting silly..it was actually pretty impressive to see the way those huge creatures can move!
