Ella's whisper

Ella's new favorite thing to do is whisper in people's ears.  Although she doesn't quite get the concept of actually saying words it just ends up being the sound of whispering, if that makes any sense.  Anyway, today in church she finally actually whispered in Adam's ear.  She told him she needed to whisper two things to him.  So she leaned in and whispered in Adam's ear... "two things."  Yep, she tells the truth,  :)

Build A Bear

 Yes, it's true...  We took our kids to Build a Bear.  Makenna went for a birthday party a couple of months ago and she loved the bear that she made.  When she got money from Grandma Gina for her birthday that is what she wanted to do.  Cole of course decided that he needed to make one too, even though he has been saving for months to buy a lightsaber, but whatever.  If we were making one for both of them, we knew we would have to do one for Ella.  They loved going and looked forward to it all week.  We headed up after Cole's soccer game.  The kids picked out their bears and got to help stuff them.  They got to put the heart in and make a wish on the heart.  They all got to wash and brush their bears and pick out a cute outfit.  Of course, the girls picked out girly frilly dresses and Cole made his into a soccer player.  Ella calls hers pink bear.  They all love to sleep with them and snuggle.  It was fun for them to go and they loved it.  Now of course, they want new clothes for the bear.  Maybe when they save up some more money...

Makenna's Dance Recital

Ballet

Hip hop, they do some cute outfits for it!!

Jazz, dancing to Adam's favorite song..  Conga by Gloria Estefan...

Makenna had another dance recital last week.  This is her third year taking dance.  This year she took ballet, jazz and hip hop.  It was a lot of work for her and she is happy to have a break.  She really doesn't want to take dance anymore, but I am trying to have her take it longer.  I am hoping that she just needs the summer off.  Hip hop is my favorite.  It is so cute to watch these little kids up there doing it.  She danced to Billie Jean, which was perfect because she loves Michael Jackson.  She had to perform two days in a row and she did a great job!!  We are so proud of her!
