On a roll....

Just made this the other night...

now I can't wait to make this for our trip to St. Louis to see the Cardinals play.

I love how her shoes will match perfectly.

SO addictive...this sewing thing ; )

Dance Recital and Fathers Day....

Saturday, Avery had her dance recital at the Blair school of Dance.

It was a very stressful yet exciting day for us all!

Avery got right out on that stage and did her dance. She surprised us all...considering she normally doesn't move a muscle with her hands sticking in her mouth on observation nights.

Here she is on stage ( you should be able to click to enlarge)

Sunday, we had a cookout for Fathers Day.

It was a great day....heat and all!

This week we are doing swim lessons everyday for 2 weeks.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Carnival fun!!

We are headed to the...

CARNIVAL

He did it again....

Eddie surprised me for my birthday with tickets to see COLDPLAY on Sat. AND we got to stay at the LOFT

It was an Awesome show...our second time seeing them and we both agree this time was Even better.

So, thank you too my wonderful husband ....who is really getting good at these surprises ; )

Another thing we did this weekend...that I am SO excited about is getting the kids this....

and they had a special going on so we got this too...for FREE!

You can't beat a deal like that!! We will have it here and installed Friday. We haven't told the kids yet...we are going to surprise them. I can't wait to see the look on their face!

One more day.....

Dawson will be out for the summer on Thursday...finally. We are so ready for summer to begin!

We have basketball camp next week and then VBS the week after that.

Our family vacation this summer we will be going to St. Louis.

We will have to wait until the fall to go to the beach :(

I made this book for Dawson to give to his teacher.

It's a "fill in the blank" type inside where he can write some things about having her as his teacher. I also left areas for him to draw a picture. It turned out really cute.

I would love to hear what everyone else is doing this summer...

I am adding to my post from yesterday....Dawson came home with his certificate. So, I had to take a picture of him with it...and I finished the teachers gift this morning.
Dawson has been saying all year that his teacher loves chocolate and wanted to give her some for her gift.
We got her favorite chocolate (according to Dawson) and I filled them in a used jelly jar and a sandwich bag.

*** Our Weekend ***

Hope everyone had a beautiful one!
