Dance Recital

We had a busy weekend with dance.  Friday night Monroe had pictures and a dress rehearsal.  I was nervous to do her hair and make-up, but they turned out great!

Her class



Their first song was "Blue Suede Shoes"





I love her face here

Their second song was "Cowboy Sweetheart".

Their second costume
Their last song had a space theme with "Can't Sit Still" mixed in.  They love that song.

What a bunch of dolls!

Isn't this picture the sweetest!


Monroe's recital was on Saturday afternoon at College Park.
She loved getting fancy!  Her favorite part was the lipstick.





Monroe got to the stage for the first song and started crying.  We were shocked.  We tried encouraging her from the audience, and she eventually finished the song.



She was better for the second song, but her hat wouldn't stay on.





The third song was the girls' favorite.  They know the song well and get into the moves.
I love Paisley in this picture!



You can really see Monroe's attitude in this picture!







At the end they were supposed to do cartwheels or the splits :)

The finale



Monroe had a lot of fans in the audience


Her teachers

Later, I wanted a couple of pictures in her silver costume.  She thought her grandma's should be in a picture too.




Monroe's first dance recital was a big success.  We are so proud of all she's learned, and we can't wait to see her dance in the future.

April Phone Dump

This house has so many windows, and I love them.  We get wonderful breezes through the house.

Each month, Monroe's preschool takes pictures of the students with birthdays that month.  Monroe's picture is on here, but her name is not.  I'm not sure if she is Madison or Morgan :)  She actually gets called both.

 Zach and I drove through Monroe, Nebraska, so we had to stop and take some pictures.

 April snow

 The snow was melting very fast, so Monroe jumped in puddles in her snow suit.


Zach's cousin got married on 4/11.



Grandpa made the cake pops and died Monroe's mouth blue.




They had a photo booth that was a lot of fun!








This is Monroe's first official neighbor play date.

Megan's 30th birthday celebration

I love this picture!

Monroe got legos for her birthday.  We have had so much fun putting them together.

Playing in the puddles
(I think every picture I will take of her in this outfit is going to be adorable!)



 Monroe had her last dance practice on Tuesday.  They practiced their three dances and then gave completion certificates.
