Sleepover Update

Taylor has some dance friends over for a slumber party. They decided to do one of their dances just for you so that you could see what a fun time they are having.

So now I turn this post over to the girls.

Mackenzie:

Hey everybody, this is Peanut Butter and Jelly Time. I hope you like it bye!

Taylor:

I hope you love our dance. Bye!

Jules:

If you like our dance, put a heart by it!

Maddi:

What up hot sauce? I hope you like our dance!

Love,

The Peanut Butter and Jelly Girls

You wanna put holes where?

This weekend Taylor and BFF Mackenzie (also known as Mack, Taylor is known as Tay-Tay) decided that they would get their ears pierced. We had told her she could do it after a certain age once she was ready but that it would be totally up to her.

Saturday she made that decision....with a little encouragement from her BFF.



We arrived at Sweet and Sassy and Mack and her family were already there.

Once it came time to do the deed, Mack didnt seem as interested as she was at first. Taylor decided to go first in hopes that it would make her friend feel better.



She sat there like a trooper and never even flinched. This pic was taken just moments before the needles went in...



This one was taken right after I heard the click of the guns. Notice that there isnt much change in her expression. If you look close enough you can just see a sliver of concern, but no pain reaction or anything.



Here is the video.



After she was done Mack felt some additional pressure and got a little upset at first but nothing was gonna keep this cuty from achieving this level of ear beauty.



She got in the chair just like Taylor and with a little encouragement from Taylor as well as a hand to hold she was on her way. At least the baby looked happy about it.



Then came the love and support only a mom can give. This pic really captures a tender moment. Feel free to click on any of the images to get a better view.



Here is her video...



So with Taylors hand in one hand and moms in the other she was ready to get it over with. Mack sat there so bravely and made us oh so proud. She beamed with joy when it was over and especially once she saw the results.



Just look at the smile on that face! Again you can click the image to see a better view.



We were so proud of both of them. It seems like it was a bit of a right of passage from little girls to young ladies. Even so, these two who will remember this day forever will always be our little girls.






Love and Prayers,

Sleepover Dance

Tonight Taylor has her BFF Mackenzie over for the night. She couldn't be any more excited as you will see. They have their BET class for Hip Hop in the morning and wanted to show off what they know so far.

Enjoy!




Love and Prayers,

Will Turns 4!!!!!

Will turned 4 on Sunday and we had a party for him on Saturday at the newest indoor inflatable jump place to our area. The kids just love to go there and it is very close to where we live.

He is growing up so much faster than we had hoped, then again I guess it is always that way when it comes to your own kids. He will start private school the day after labor day, and is super excited because his good friend Carter will be in his class. As I type this that decision isn't officially final, but it might as well be since we are about 95% positive that it is what we are going to do with him.

We hope you enjoy the pics.


Will,

We have been so honored and blessed to call you our son over these last 4 years. You are the light of our world, and what always makes us smile. The love you give to all is so infectious. The sweetness in your voice is music to our ears. The kissies and huggies you give us daily (just because) still to this day melt our hearts.

We know that many of these things will surely fade away, however the love in our hearts for you will always remain the same.

We are so proud of the little man you are becoming, and we love you so much.

All Our Love,

Mommy and Daddy

Little girls......

Happy Birthday Mackenzie!!!!!!!!!!!

Today Taylor went to Mackenzie's birthday party. Mackenzie is one of the 4 ballerinas in the 4 swan dance that Taylor is doing. She is also in several other dances that Taylor is in. They will for sure be spending allot of time and travel together over this next year and probably many to come.

We hope you enjoy the pics as much as we enjoyed the party!

Big/Little Sister Party

Today Taylor had her Big/Little Sister party. This was a party at her dance studio to celebrate the hard work they have done so far during choreography week and mainly find out who their big or little sister will be for the year.

Taylor is of course a little since she is one of the youngest kids in this competition troupe. The big sister she got is Emma, and she is perfect for Taylor.

The following pictures show some of the festivities. We hope you enjoy!

This is Jules, Taylor, and Maddi. All three of them dance in three different numbers together. One tap, a ballet, and a hip hop. All of these are for competion.

Another pic of Taylor and Maddi. They have danced together for a year now and it seems like they will be together for years to come.

Working on the tap number with Miss Amy!

Taylor, Mackenzie, and Maddi just waiting for their next class.

Hope you enjoyed the pics. It will get alot more exciting when I have pics and videos of the actual dances when they are in costume and all. Hopefully even some pics of them posing with trophies!

Make sure you leave some comment love for Taylor and wish her well with BET (Bonis En Toure)!
