A few random Pics I found

Ok, Mom. I have added a pic from me at the beach! But be warned...I am on the move to get all this extra baby weight off by Christmas! I may not make it all the way back to my "Hooter's" size, but at least close to it!!!!!!!!

Playing in the Rain

Yesterday started out as a stormy day, but eventually it just turned to all rain. The kids were dying to go outside and we hadn't left the house at all. So, what does a good mommy do? She lets them go out and play in the rain!!! They both had so much fun and it brought back memories of playing in the rain when I was a child.

The pic with Banastre squatted down and hands on his face was all his idea. He came up to me, grabbed the camera and said cheeeese.... So, I took out the camera and this is the pose he gave me. I have several like it and he even had sissy doing it too!

I am sure that the next time it rains without storming they will be asking to do this again.

I warned you!!

Ok, I warned you that soon there would be tons of pics!!

Banastre's version of a cart wheel. Get down and look at him in the same way and he will laugh uncontrollably!!!!

Banastre's new phrase "Hi Ba-beee"

Banastre is growing by leaps and bounds right now. His favorite word is mine or my. As in "My Pooh", "My Tigger", or anything else that is "his". He loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Thank goodness for DVR. I have every episode ever made recorded and we watch them all multiple times a week. Whether the TV is on or off he will walk to it and yell "Oh Toodles". If you don't turn it on, he will let you know how upset he is. He has two new Goofy dolls that must do everything and go everywhere with us. He attempts to count, but his numbers are restricted to Two, Threeeeeee, and then if nothing happens at three he will say nine.
He loves the pool and water. He especially loved the sand at the beach. He was perfectly content to sit under the umbrella and play all day.

Ok, that's all I can think of tonight. I am sure I will be adding much more over the next few days.

Fun on the Beach

Showstoppers

We had a great time at Myrtle Beach for Elizabeth's competition in Showstoppers National Competitions. The Mini Dream Team Competed in Tap with "If They Could See Me Now" and Modern Lyrical Jazz with "My Wish". The girls did outstanding. The Tap routine finished 10th place overall in Mini's (8&under division); the Jazz dance was just barely pushed out of the the top ten. I don't think I could be any more proud of her accomplishments this year.

This was Elizabeth's first year competing and the Mini Dream Team competed in 3 Regional Competitions and then 1 Nationals. They placed in the top ten at EVERY competition. Elizabeth recently told me her dream is to dance at Walt Disney World. With this beginning, I think it is definitely possible!!! We are trying out a new dance school last week and this week. Hopefully we will find that it is the right place for her.

All of the girls in the Mini Dream Team presented ELizabeth with a Showstoppers T-shirt that they each had signed as a going away present for her. We were both very touched by their gesture and they will never know how much it means to ELizabeth!
