A "really big show"

Well the ballet performance was a success. Hayley started off the performance with some typical class clown antics (do I have 2 class clown's in this family???). Soon, though, she settled in and actually did pretty well throughout the class show.

This week we also had fun with Lily. She stayed with us a couple days while Mom, Dad and Jack were away and we had a great time. The girls were both so excited to have 2 sleepovers in a row! We went to the playground and the pool while Lily was here. It was such a good time, Mom didn't even get a chance to take pictures! Sorry.

Saturday we had a fun morning at buddy Andrew's birthday party and celebrating Grandmom's birthday at dinner at the Japanese steakhouse -- everyone's favorite! Sunday we did more celebrating as it was Sammy's 9th birthday! (Next year he'll start collecting social security and hopefully they've got something like doggie medicare....) And, Cole lost his 3rd tooth. Thank goodness we got past the holidays before that big one came out.

Tomorrow is PJ day at Hayley's school, St. Patrick's Day and Kirk's birthday! It should be another exciting day. Have fun!


Hayley gets the crowd laughing. This is in response to Miss Jessica asking what ballerinas DON'T do when they do a plie. (Answer is...stick their butt out...courtesy of Hayley...with visual...)

The port de bras.

Doesn't she look dainty???

This was the big finale.

A curtsie to end the show -- almost ended her friend Megan too! ;)
