Frozen Musical Theatre Camp

M&M had a great time at Frozen Musical Theatre Camp this week!  They practiced each day learning their lines, singing their songs, and practicing the dances.  Little M's group sang "For The First Time In Forever" and Big M's group sang "Love Is An Open Door". It was fun to watch their performance tonight...they both did such a great job.  Next up in July...Mary Poppins Camp!

Summer Fun!

It's been a hot week and what else could we do but go swimming?  This photo from our visit on Wednesday was just too cute not to share.  M&M had a blast with their sweet friends floating on this donut float.  What a fun day...looking forward to many more!

Max

It was a sad day in our house today.  We had to say goodbye to our puggle, Max.  He joined us as a puppy when Big M was only 1 1/2 years old.  Big M and Max were buddies so it has been especially hard on her.  He was a crazy puppy and we'll never forget the gas lines he chewed through or the rose bushes he ate. Unfortunately, he had not been 100% well for the last 2-3 months and it has been hard to watch his health decline.  Here's a few pics for M&M to look back at someday...

Last Day of Kindergarten and Third Grade

It's so hard to believe another school year has gone by.  M&M have completed third grade and kindergarten!  They have grown and changed, but are still our sweet, little girls.  Thank goodness Mamaw and Papaw were here to capture the "last day of school" photo while Charley and I traveled.

Dance Recital 2015--Burnin' Up

I am so proud of M&M.  They did an awesome job in their dance recital earlier this month.  Little M's jazz dance to "Jail House Rock" was just too cute. Big M danced gracefully to a combination of classical pieces titled Tahiti Trot.  They have worked hard and it showed. We were able to watch lots of awesome dancers in the recital. This was probably M&M's best recital so far and we loved every minute of it. 

Little M Can FINALLY Ride A Bike!!!

We have known for about a year that Little M was ready to ride a bike, but SHE had not decided that she was ready yet. We hoped it would happen soon since she was about to outgrow her bike and we knew the next biggest bike probably would not have training wheels.  About 1 month ago, someone suggested we take off the pedals so she could balance on the bike and scoot along.  Well, Little M gained some confidence and figured it out.  Check out this video of one of her first rides.  She wants to ride her bike all the time now!  We couldn't pay her to ride her bike before she learned to ride without the training wheels. Big progress!

The Tooth Fairy Visited Twice This Week!

Little M lost two teeth in a four day time period this week!  She let her daddy pull one right after school Monday and had another one loose and ready to pull by Thursday morning.  Little M really wanted to lose one at school so she could get the prized tooth treasure chest. It all worked out...she pulled one out Thursday morning at school just before leaving on the school field trip to the zoo.  

Big smiles after getting that tooth out!

Yay!  She just pulled another tooth at school!
