Recital Time

Kayla had a very busy past few days getting ready for her dance recital.  As always the recital was amazing and we were so proud of Kayla and her team, all of their hard work really paid off! 

Dress rehearsal for tap.

No time to change costumes, so the girls practiced their ballet routine in their tap costume.  

Kayla and her dance buddy, Kendall.  ( I have night vision on, haha)

During a break in rehearsals, we headed to Chick fil a.  

Friday night, Kayla had a long night as she was in two shows and a part of five dances in each show.  

Kayla had great friends and family that came out to support her!

Eric participated in the Daddy Dance again this year.  Kayla has so much fun dancing with her daddy on stage!

 Day 2. Let the craziness begin!!  On Saturday, Kayla danced in four shows.

The girls had LOTS of down time backstage but had a blast hanging out together.  

Freshening up.  

Heading over to the stage to dance, Leader of the Pack for the last time.

After the show party at Red Robin.  The girls were SO excited to be invited to this all company party.  Did it matter that it was 10:30 at night and they had been at dance since 9:45 that morning??  Noooo, they were FULL of energy.  Wish I had half of it!  

SO far behind!

I'm so far behind in updating the blog, so I have put just a few pictures from past events in order to get caught up!!

Kayla was learning about how to make paper at school and decided that they needed to rip a branch off of a poor tree in order to get some bark.

Swim time with friends, Emmy and Nate.

 For some reason, Kayla got it in her head that she wanted to make a zip line.  It was hilarious!  Kyler didn't want Kayla to get hurt so he insisted that she wore her helmet.  Haha!!

 Family fun at the Spring picnic at our church.

 Kyler has been working so hard on learning how to swing by himself.  The tongue sticking out, means major concentration.  : )

My parents took us to see Scooby Doo Live on stage.  Kyler loves Scooby Doo and loved the show.  We invited our friends, Stephanie and Nate to come along with us.
