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!


Taylor and Mackenzie..... just a couple of girlfriends hanging out at the pool.



You can do it!!!!!!!!!


These are all 4 of our beautiful ballerinas. How cute are they?

Taylor's Hip Hop Dance

Taylor just finished her first choreography week for BET (Boni's En Toure). In case you didnt know its the competition troupe at the studio she dances at.

This is a video I shot of her doing the choreography for part of it. They have allot of time to improve it as competitions don't start until February. You will see by the choreography that once they get it, no one is going to touch them. Its going to be that good. Its allot faster than it looks in the video.

This was also a very bad day for her because she had tried to stay up the night before to sneak a peak at the tooth fairy. Needless to say she didnt give her best effort as she was doing her best to not fall asleep. I promise I will do my best to video her next time when she is awake. :)

She is the blonde in the black shorts and shirt with the red bow in her hair.



Love and Prayers,

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)!


Love and Prayers,

BET Mixer at the lake

For those of you who dont know, Taylor auditioned for the competition dance troupe at Bonis Dance and Performing Arts Studio a few months back and made it. We couldn't be more proud. She has only been in dance for a little less than a year and has already passed auditions into The Woodlands Dance Company (they do The Nutcracker) and BET (Boni's En Toure).


We had our first event of this season at Boni's Lake House. It was a ton of fun and both of the kids had a great time. Here are a few pics from that weekend.

This is Taylor and her friend Maddi. They have danced together for almost a year and are two of just a few girls that are on the troupe at such an early age. They are in three competition dances together and who knows yet how many classes. They will be spending much time together and we look forward to getting to know this sweet little girl and her family better.





Going out on the boat!





This is Grace on the left. She has often had her private lesson right before Taylors, so Taylor has had the chance to watch her solos, duets, etc. She is two years older than Taylor and Taylor just thinks the world of her.

Everyone thinks the world of this cute one. I just cant remember his name? Geez he is cute though!






Taylor and Miss Megan. She is the blonde and a dancer that also was an assistant teacher in two of Taylor's classes last year. Of course Taylor loves her to death.

Miss Boni and that cute little boy.



Taylor and Miss Terry. She is the one responsible for seeing Taylor's ability for dance and getting her the right instruction. We owe much to her.


The famous Miss Boni! She taught Taylor's ballet class this summer and of course Taylor loved having her.

All of the team posing for a group shot. Taylor and Maddi were still out on the boat in case you couldn't find them. Not trying to trick ya or anything.



I hope you enjoyed these shots from our lake party. We are no longer using Facebook, so we will be posting things here much more often. So check back often!

Love and Prayers,
