Maya's 5th Birthday

We went to Chuck-E-Cheese for Maya's party~ The ticket blaster was the highlight of Maya's day! It was priceless! She was waiting for it to start blowing, not real sure what to expect... I can hardly believe she is 5 years old! She's way to big to be my little baby!

Friends and Fun!

Maya and Julia have become best buddies this year!

All Maya's classmates tie -dyed tee shirts and made these cute hats! They were the cutest kids at the picnic! Christopher and Maya posing together.

Watch me mom!

Friends, friends, and more friends! Maya doing the little rascal wave...

Bye-bye! Until next year! Maya took swim lessons at UNCW for two weeks! She started out in a class that used a bubble and by th end of the session she was swimming without a bubble and trying to dive in head first! She loves the water and is fearless! I didn't get good pictures at the pool, but there are more to come!

My Dancing Queens

McKenna and Morgan had their dance recital this weekend. All their hard work paid off! It was a great show, a tribute to Broadway. This is Morgan's 6th full year of dancing, boy she shines on the stage! McKenna has been dancing for four years and has made great improvements too. They were lucky to be able to dance in two dances together. They opened the show with the song "One"

This is a shot of Morgan's dance group.

Morgan did a jazz dance to "Dancing Queen!" How appropriate, the costume was great! McKenna danced to "The Wiz" for her jazz routine.

This was my favorite dance of McKenna's, "I want to be an Angel."

She was so beautiful and graceful!

The finale of the show was "Memories" from Cats. There were 3 different classes doing this dance. It was really cool! This is a group picture of a lift that they did! This was Morgan's group at the curtain call. She is on the right end. I joked with my friends that I could always tell which one was Morgan because she is the shortest one on the stage. HAHA

This is Mrs. Shannon, the girls dance instructor. She has known them since McKenna was 2 years old. She has a lot of talent and is so patient and great with the kids! Thanks for a great year of dance.

Happy Mother's Day!

How blessed I am! We had a wonderful Mother's day together. Tony helped preach at the church services this morning, so the girls helped me take these photos! Morgan took this one and did a great job!

McKenna even zoomed in on us!

We had the gang over for barbecue ribs. They turned out great. It's hard to believe how big all the girls are getting.

Tony had a a business meeting in Myrtle Beach and invited me to go too. We stayed in a great room with a beautiful view of the ocean. Tony played his first real game of golf and loved it. He now wants to take it up as a hobby... God help us!

Aquatica Fun!

We had a great time at the water park! This is the way to spend the day in the hot Florida weather.

This is one of the kid areas. It was huge!

The water was heated so it wasn't too cold. Just the way I like it.

This was the roaring rapids. You wore a life jacket and it pulled you through the rapid waters. So cool!

They had a huge beach area.

I had to put this picture in because when I first saw it I thought it was Amy! Can you see the resemblance?

They even smile under the water!

This was an aquarium along the lazy river!

We all rode this slide. It was very fast!!!

Maya loved the slides too!

They do love each other!

Morgan and Tony on the way down!

We had a great time. There was one slide that we rode that went under the ground through a tank with Commerson dolphins in it. They swam by you as you shot through the tube. It was too fast to get pictures.
