What a Weekend!!

This past weekend was a crazy busy weekend, but full of some fun times, for sure!! 
It began with a dress rehearsal on Thursday night for Alexia (which also happened to be her 7th birthday)...

Back in December, Alexia decided to take a break from Gymnastics and give Dance a try...hard to believe just 5 months later, she danced in her very first recital.  She loves to dance and the Hip Hop Jr. Class she took was a great first class for her.  She did great in the recital, despite the fact that she was completely wiped out from having the flu leading up to it.  We were all very proud of her!!

 Here are a few pics of her in her costume and at the dress rehearsal.



So, apprently I didn't realize how long her pants were until I saw this pic...thankfully, my mom was in town to do a quick alteration for the actual dance recital on Friday night!  Thanks Mom :)

 After the rehearsal, we came home and did a small birthday celebration with Alexia!  I simply cannot believe these 7 years have gone by so fast!  What an amazing young lady you are becoming, Miss Alexia!

As mentioned earlier, my parents came into town for the weekend festivities, which also involved giving the girls their birthday presents.  Grandma and Papa got the girls very nice roller skates. 

Alexia LOVES them and has roller skated every day since...Megan is slowly warming up to them.  They are a little bulky for her tiny little ankles, but she'll get use to them eventually.

How am I going to get this girl to keep a barrette in her hair?

On Saturday, Mom and I spent the morning hitting some yard sales, my Dad and Scott opened the pool (YEA!!) and we all went out to dinner at Dukes on the river since it was such a nice evening :)

Then, on Sunday...Alexia had a make-up softball game, which allowed for a lot of the family to come out and see her play!  It was a pefect day for a softball game and the girls played their best game yet!!

While everyone that came to see Alexia play was cheering her on...I think Joshua was her biggest fan! 

After the game, we all headed to Dairy Queen for a sweet treat! 

Thankfully, both of the girls cooperated for a pic with the Grandparents :)

We had a very special weekend together with some pretty wonderful family :)  I continue to be thankful for God's blessings in our lives...Life is definitely very full these days...but we sure are making some beautiful memories together!!
