Horses, horses, horses...

I don't think a little girl can smile any bigger than this...









So midget has had horse camp this week, and is in heaven. She reads all her horse books, watches her horse movies, likes horses on her clothes.... you get the idea. So to spend her days surrounded by them, and getting to ride them, is putting her in her happy place :) She is doing really well, and looks so at home up there on the horses. We got her a private lesson after camp today and tomorrow, anad i got to watch and take pictures.

Monkey got some new trucks yesterday, and was thrilled with how they worked. He got some wax too, and apparently that helped his boardslide?

Summertime fun...

Finally, the recital and all the drama it entails is over. We are from here on out on a mission. My mission is to avoid all drama, and to make sure my kids have a nice, stress-free summer. We spent yesterday swimming with friends, and playing video games together. Today my sweet girl went to horse camp. She is so at home up there, and loves it so much. It's great to see her have some fun after the rough weekend she had. A nice relaxing time.
The countdown is on for dad to come home. We have a small party with friends planned a bit after he gets home. Alot of his old friends are coming for it. They are all excited, as these guys are like brothers to each other. They almost all have kids now, so that will be fun to see them all together.

Recital Day

My sweet girl had her recital yesterday. It was at a much bigger place than she is used to having it at. Once we got there she was very nervous. We left here at 715 to drop monkey off at my mom's house. That was a life saver, he would have been miserable there for so long. We were at the convention center from 930 until 730 at night. It was a long day, but well worth it. The girls have so much fun backstage anyway. This place had huge rooms for each group, so that was alot nicer than being in a school cafeteria. I took video of the dress rehearsal,so i didn't get any pics this time. Lugging all her stuff in by myself, and trying to run to be with her and get the pics and videos was too hard. So i decided she was the priority and let the stress go of trying to do it all. She had more fun that way, and i think i did too. Next year she has promised her daddy they are going to do a daddy daughter dance. Here are some of the pics from backstage, and i will have to figure out how to get the video on here too :) I'm sure my tech support son knows how!

Recital

We are super-busy right now. Tomorrow is midget's recital and then camp. Things will slow down then, right? Here is a pic of her in her new glasses, she loves them. and of course, monkey and Sheldon hamming it up :)
