Dance Recital Weekend

Emily's dance recital was this weekend.  The amount of growth I've seen between last year and this year is just amazing.  Yes, she is still four and I'm not talking about future rockette or anything, but she really worked hard this year and has grown a lot.  She has been working all year at doing a bridge and finally started to be able to pick her head up off the ground the last month or so and actually did it on stage!  Considering she seems to be following after her Mama in the arm strength and flexibility category, this is awesome!  She has such a positive attitude and just keeps working at it!  Keep it up Emily!!!  I never thought I'd be happy about being a "Dance Mom" but my little princess has sucked me in! 

On Sunday, we had a nice family day.  We all went fishing, then played with the sprinkler and pool in the back yard and ate dinner on the deck in bathing suits (well, the kids did anyway).  A great summer weekend!

Here are some pics of our weekend of fun!

She did such a great job!

Had to pose by the artwork since we did that after the recital last year!!

And check out the confetti she scored from the finale! 

Will got to hang out with Pop Pop for the recital.
