Here are a few of the pictures (not the best ones...I want to do some editing on the best ones). Here is a look at blubonnet pictures from the years past. My how Haley has changed!

Ballet preformed to Great is Thy Faithfulness:


Tap preformed to Be Joyful:

Drill to The Fruit of the Spirit is Self Control:


Grils of Grace Dance Recital

TODAY WAS THE BIG DAY! One year of dance classes has brought us to this day! Halye has been so excited for everyone to see how much she had learned. I think that I was more nervous than she was! The girls all did a really great job! The theme of the show was "The Fruit of the Spirit" and the bible verse that summed up the meaning of the show was
Galations 5:22-23. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindmess, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. Against such things there is no law. Each dance told about one of the fruits of the spirit. Sorry, the blog is backward so you might want to start at the end and work your way back. Dustin will post the video later!
THE END
Austin and his little buddy, Belle!

Austin likes to put the ball on the tee and hit it off. He is so talented!

Smiling becuase he was splashing himself!


Two cute kiddos!

You may ask where was Austin in all of this fun! Well, Austin got to spend the evening with Amanda Allen a fellow kindergarten teacher and friend. I was not at all worried about if Austin would come out from the evening alive, I was concerned that Mrs. Allen may not survive all of Austins craziness. She did survivie and on Moday I will find out if she still consideres us friends :) We can't wait to repay the favor and watch Miss. Reagan!!! After the recital we picked Austin up and after dinner Austin got to go in the pool for the first time. Most of the time we are in the hot tub. Austin loved the pool though!

Haley making her silly face!

Nothing like a tutu on the head to end a beautiful, graceful evening!

Haley being a nut!

Mamee, Pops, and Haley


Sorry Natalie! She wanted me to crop her legs out but I couldn't do it! If my legs ever looked like that I would want them showing :) So here is Natalie, Haley, and Marcus!


Beautiful! It is hard to believe that 4 years ago she was just 5 lbs. 5 oz. and now she will be starting pre k next year! She is only 25 pounds now :)


I love this one!

Lots of pictures of Haley outside. I couldn't pick just a few so there are a lot!

Here is Haley with her ballarina bear that Aunt Laci and Mimi got her!

Haley with her very very proud Mommy and Daddy!

Mimi and Haley...for some reason we didn't end with a picture of Aunt Laci but she was there to support Haley too.

Haley with her flowers that Aunt Nana and Marcus got her!
All of the girls!

At the end of the show all of the girls got a sash that says the Fruit of the Spirit. Here is Haley getting hers.

Tapping up a storm.

Haley and her friend Mattie.

Her last performacnce was tap! This was our favorite. It was really cute! It was on the friut of the Spirit "joy".

So sweet!

They looked like little angels!!

Haleys ballet number was on "faithfulness"! She loves ballet becuase she loves to wear the tutu!

Her dance group!

Haleys first dance was about self control. This was her drill number! She was really a tropper on this one because is the middle of her dancing the poor things skirt started falling down but she just held it up and kept on going. It was very cute!

So beautiful and grown up!

Haley was super excited and ready to start the show!!!
