Here is Denali after pictures!  Here dance teachers are helping her pose for her pictures.

 Isaiah had picture night for hip hop and tap, and it's so nice seeing him so excited.  I remember when we started and he was so nervous, and that is not the case anymore.  It's so good to see him so confident!

 Grandma Vicki has been here the last few days to help us start off summer with a bang.  Lots of walks and shopping and eating!  It was fun Grandma.

It has been a busy week, and with me not feeling great, it sure is good we have friends who are willing to step in and take over!  How lucky we are!

To start off, Quinn lost her front tooth.  Her other front top one is loose and so is one on the bottom, so we are going to be toothless for a bit here in the future.

 Next up was Quinn's first dance recital of this spring season.  She was wonderful.  She smiled, and this is the first time that I saw her looking for me and the kids.  Once she saw me, she smiled even bigger!  I tell you what I don't take the little things for granted any more!  That smile was amazing!

Quinn and I got to the recital after the rest of our family, and here is how I found them.  Denali nestled on top of dad's head and Isaiah in his lap!  I love my family!

Now, next weekend is the big recital for all three of them, so they have all been getting their out fits ready, and they are excited.  Denali has the flashiest of costumes and loves every bit of it.  I am already excited to get pictures and have fun with this new event for two of them.

Finally we had the last day of school.  Isaiah is now a 3rd grader, and Denali and Quinn are now 2nd graders.  Oh they are growing so fast.  We are out growing clothes and my little kids are not so little any more!

 Thanks to Chrissy for taking pictures, I was a zombie in bed at the time the bus was getting to our house, so thanks.  I love how the kids are good with silly pictures.  I feel like we have had some crazy days lately, so their moods show what craziness we have been going through.

 My kids and my students at school both have artwork published online through Artsonia. 

So I had to share some of their pieces.  Feel free to go to Artsonia and see more of our creations.

I have been cleaning out my phone which has thousands of photo's on it.
I probably put these on here before, but just in case, here are a few favorites from my phone.

Have a great day!  It's friday!

 A few more pictures from our trip out to the Sand Hills.

 As John told us stories and showed us where he grew up and went to school, I learned that getting directions from him, and the way he gives directions are not at all the same.  I thought I was going to go crazy!    Thankfully we survived the tour.

 His school.

The house he grew up in from 5th grade on.

I mentioned the app waterlogue a few weeks back, but I keep having fun playing with it.

Phew that is a lot of information I've added on here in a few days!  

Blessing to you all!  Thanks for checking in on us!

 Quinn has had a new PT for the last few weeks, as Suzanne had her baby.  Cathy is wonderful.  I love seeing how everyone does a few different things with her, and how everyone at Handprints and Footsteps is so kind and professional.  I'm so glad we have this amazing children's therapy center in Lincoln.  We are so lucky!

 Isaiah had a relax and read lunch at his school last week.  I got to go and have lunch with him.  I love it when I get one on one time with my kids.  I learned about owls, Barbque Chicken sandwiches, poems about pickles, learned who is who, of his friends.  The time flew by, but I'm so glad I got to have that moment with him.  What a fun lunch date!
