Dance Recital '09

Today was the big day that we have been waiting for.
The Dance Recital.

Madelyn did a wonderful job.

At the grand final all the girls came out on stage and kind of dance around while the audience applauded. Madelyn was feeling the music on stage, she was out in front and was the last person you saw as the curtain was closing. She was not shy up on stage.

Allyson thought the show was exhausting.

Nashville

Over the weekend we made a little trip to Nashville. We had a really good time.

We went to the children's theater. We saw "Lilly and the purple plastic purse".

The girls loved it. I recommend it to anyone. Allyson loved every minute of it.

This was intermission. They were a little tired.

This is Allyson outfit she pick out after her bath one morning.

Love the boots and hat.

YES! Allyson still has the pacifier. She only get's it at daycare during naptime and at home when she finds one hidden. The other morning at daycare she refused to remove her coat most of the morning. Well they figured out why she wouldn't take it off. She had hidden a pacifier in the pocket and would go in the corner when she thought no one was looking and take a few sucks off of it and put it back in her pocket and go play again. I don't know what I am going to do with her.

Madelyn's Dance

O.K. So I know I haven't been doing a really good job of keeping up lately. But I am home today with Allyson, as she has pink eye. So I am finally sitting down today and doing this.

This is Madelyn dancing at the high school senior night. This was a few weeks ago.

I didn't know how she was going to react to the crowd. But to my surprise she was a pro. She was really into her dancing.

Madelyn has a dance recital in May.

Ice Storm

Here are a few pictures from the ice storm

I really thought this tree was going to fall.

The girls played in the snow for a little while. In the background is Matt's car before the tree fell on it. We had to replace the back glass and the car is currently being repaired and painted at the body shop. I didn't get any pictures of it because it fell when we didn't have any power and Matt removed everything before we were able to come back home.

Nat's Birthday

Natalie's birthday party was at Skate's Alive in Owensboro. This was the first time Madelyn has ever been roller skating. I wasn't sure how this was going to go............

As you can see Madelyn spent most of her time on the ground. I think in about two hours of skating, Madelyn made it around the rink about 4 times.

But Madelyn usually has fun anywhere.

Merry Christmas

Just a few pictures from Christmas

Madelyn and Allyson in their Christmas Eve attire. They are ready for a fun filled night at Grandma Debbie's house. Where their is a visit from Santa. Don't they look cute?

In the back ground is a present that Santa made all by himself. A Barbie house is just what Madelyn wanted. Way to go Santa you did a fantastic job!!!!

Madelyn got a bike Christmas morning. This was so funny. The bike was on the other side of the Christmas tree. Madelyn came in Christmas morning looked at the tree, looked at the cookies Santa had eaten on the table, and still didn't see the bike. So we had Madelyn open a Christmas ornament and hang it on the tree, well she hung it by the bike and still didn't see it. So we had her move it, told her to go over, over, down, down, over. She kept getting closer to the bike and finally she ran into the wheel and said "Hey". It was so funny. Well that just confirms my conclusion that she is just like her father something has to be right in their face to even notice it.


Madelyn and Allyson riding their bikes the day after Chirstmas. Wasn't it perfect weather to get a new bike?

Madelyn recieved makeup from Santa. If you look closely you can see she has hot pink eye shadow on.

Well I still have more pictures to come as we still have Christmas from my side of the family to go.
