Kiki's first dance recital!

Last week Kiki  had her first dance recital and did an awesome job.  She is in a tumbling/ballet class and has learned a lot of fun dance moves. Here is her dance.If you

listen closely at the beginning you can hear Raleigh.

Raleigh had to wear her Rapunzel dress and follow the dancers out of the room when they took a potty break.

Before the dance she and her class showed us some other cool moves they learned.

These are her teachers.

This is her class

 She got some marshmallows at the end of the class and was super happy about it.

 Can you tell how many treats Raleigh is allowed to have?

 We finished off the day with some yummy Culver's ice cream!

Stitches!

 Kiki got 4 stitches on her eyebrow yesterday! Poor thing, she was so excited about getting candy that she tumbled down the stairs and cut her forehead on a stair. But don't worry, she didn't drop the candy! She was actually really brave during the whole thing and was very cooperative. She even enjoyed hamming it up for her photo shoot. All of these pictures were taken within one minute. I guess she decided she needed to look sad in some of them because she had an owie.

 She also couldn't resist putting on my hard hat that Dada used last night in his cub scout skit. Apparently the skit was really good but I missed it because I was feeding Madi.

We were all sick last week so one day we stayed in our pajamas til lunch time. Aren't they super cute?! Madi even posed for the picture.

Kiki's first dance class!

 This past week Kiki started a ballet and tumbling class. Her teacher is Miss Ellie and does a great job making it fun for the girls.

 I was amazed with Kiki's posture. She sat up straight the whole time.

 The teacher had the girls do somersaults and finish with a "tada" after each one.

 At the end of the class she got a sucker for all her hard work!

 

Earlier in the day she took time to cuddle with her little sister!

Madi!

So I am finally putting up pictures of Madisyn. She has the cutest cheeks and has really started to smile a lot this week. This picture of her is with her blessing dress on. My sister was super nice to make it for her. I put some more pictures in here so you can see the whole dress. Absolutely gorgeous!

 Here is Madi with her super cute smile!

 Well I wouldn't be a good mom if I didn't include pictures of all my kids so here
 is my favorite one of Raleigh from this month. She was playing peekaboo with her feet. I know it isn't sanitary but it sure was cute!

 We also had family over last week and it was super fun. We love our new sister-in-law/aunt! This other picture is of Kiki just being silly. She dressed herself that day and was so pleased with herself.

 One of Raleigh's favorite things to do is hold Madi (her favorite is to poke her eyes)!

Raleigh is 2!!!

Raleigh had her birthday on Sunday and turned 2! She is most definitely a 2 year old in that her favorite word is "no!" and she loves doing everything her big sister does. The theme for her party was zebras and pink because pink is her favorite color and zebras/horses are her favorite animals.

 This is her birthday cake. Didn't I do a good job with the cricut?

 Here is Raleigh blowing out the candles with her grandma.

She had fun opening her gifts with daddy. When I was showing her these pictures from her birthday al she could talk about was daddy. What a daddy's girl.

 The new cousins also got to have a photo op together. Here is baby Madi and baby Masie together on my lap.
