Friday, June 24th

so, this post finally catches up on pictures from May and some pictures taken in June after Brenna's dance recital. Above, my mom and Brenna before the dress rehersal. Below, my beautiful birthday cake that Dustin's parents did for me - isn't it pretty!

Brenna and I playing in the backseat on the way to a wedding.

shortly after my birthday, Brenna's school had a face painting day - I did all the painting on the kids faces, but before we got there, we had to stop at all our railroad tracks (we cross 3 on the way to school each day) for these little "trains"

I did Brenna's face at home before we went to school to save some time (which was a good thing as I finished all the kids shortly before lunch)

Last week when the weather was nice, Brenna and I went up to the Akron zoo. Brenna of course enjoyed the carousel, farm land, and the jelly fish wall the most. We also had our first experience with the touch tank being open - I think Brenna really enjoyed touching those animals...

Brenna after her first night of Acro classes - she loved all the tumbling. I didn't get any pictures, but Brenna also started hip hop classes this week. I think she will really enjoy having both of these classes this summer!

Hello All!!!!

Hope all is well out there! Things have been good here - I am really surprised how fast June is flying by here!

Brenna had last week off from dance class, so we tried to fill our time in other ways (especially with Dustin being in Detroit all last week). We went to the zoo, made some homemade sidewalk chalk paint, took lots of walks, and had some friends over for the day. This week has been pretty quiet so far - lots of rain here this week (the weather has been so terrible this year, Brenna hasn't been in her new sand box at all :-(

Brenna is very excited that her preschool class gets to "perform" at the church's community event tomorrow. They have several songs that they will be singing - I will try to get either pictures/video of it - I'm sure it will be cute!

Speaking of cute sayings, I told Brenna last week that she was a bed hog - she woke up the next morning (she tends to crawl into our bed in the middle of the night these days) and asked if she was a hedgehog. It was really cute when she asked me about it!

Well, that is about it for now!

Take Care!
