Twirling Across the Stage

This year's dance recital had an around the world theme and Morgan's class was America! We just love this class and love our teacher Mrs. Tracy even more. I'm serious there is nothing sweeter than a bunch of little ballerinas! Their ballet was to "America" and they did an amazing job! We were all so proud. Their tap dance was to "God Bless America" and it was a little less together. But still so precious! Ha! I think my favorite part is that Macie can now sing every word to "God Bless America" and truly can't wait until she gets to be a ballerina next year too!

Front and center she did great!

Morgan was thrilled that her sweet teacher, Ms. Roberts, came to watch her! Ms. Roberts had three girls on stage this day: Morgan, Delina and Anne Bailey.

Singing into Spring

As we wrap up the end of another school year, my favorite Spring Programs for the girls occur. This year Macie's school did "Down on the Farm" and she was so proud to be on stage! She has been singing "Old MacDonald" for weeks now. It was precious as usual. Goodness I love this school!

Morgan has been working hard in choir all year. Their Spring Program included all ages and even handbells! The kids did an amazing job this year!

My Little Artist

We have a local art gallery in town and each year they do a show containing pieces done by students from Tupelo Schools. When Morgan got a note saying some of her art was chosen she was thrilled! She will tell you that she wants to be an artist when she grows up so this was very special. We are so thankful for this town that supports its school in such a positive way. It made Morgan so happy!

She found her art way at the top!

And she had TWO pieces!

Proud family

We made it to Florence to celebrate Carrie's birthday!

Easter Celebrations

We had a wonderful Easter again this year. With Morgan having a long weekend, we got to seriously enjoy some family time. It was a low-key year and we stayed home to celebrate with our church on it's 150th birthday. It was a great time to celebrate one of my favorite times of the year!

Macie's class hunted eggs too!

Ready for the Easter Bunny to come...

... and he did!

It's a Zoo Out There!

Morgan had a day off school so we decided to have an adventure! I packed the girls up and took them to the Memphis Zoo. We got there after lunch and had so much fun that we stayed until it closed! It really was a beautiful day outside and we all three enjoyed our time there. It was a great day!

See you soon Memphis Zoo!

Wet and Wild Washington D.C.

When your Grandma wants to take a trip with her girls you always say, "Yes!" When she wants to go the next weekend, you say, "What about in the spring?" But you definitely make the plans! Grandma wanted to go to Washington D.C. since she hadn't been there in years. Grandma, Mom, Carrie and I packed our bags (and umbrellas) and met in the city. We had a great time playing tourist! But most importantly we had a great time just making memories. I can't tell you what a blessing it is to have those memories to add to our heart. I can't wait until we plan our next trip!
