Dance Recital

Brooklyn had her dance recital a couple of nights ago. She takes dance from a little place called Movin' Up Dance. She has enjoyed it the last couple of years, although by the time the recital comes around she is a bit burned out I think. Brooklyn did such a good job! She loves getting all dressed up in her costume with her hair and makeup done.

The theme to the recital was Dancing through the Year. Each class had 2 months that they represented.  This costume was for February and they danced to "Love me Tender".

Her next dance was August and they danced to "ABC' She did so good, and their little class was so cute

This is one of Brooklyn's friends from school and church-Ayesha

This dance was really cute!

The recital only lasted about 45 minutes and all the girls did such a good job!

The Finale!

We had a fun time watching all of the girls perform. We had some family members come and watch as well! Grandma and Grandpa Jensen, Aunt Michelle, Grandma Clayson, Hallie, and Aunt Katie. Brooklyn's cousin Brynn also takes dance from the same teachers so Aunt Brittany and Uncle Aaron were there as well.

Easter

We had so much fun celebrating Easter. My brother came up from Utah with his family and on the Monday before Easter we got together to color eggs. The kids love doing this....

Our dozen colored eggs

Stockton was just chillin'. He was just sitting in his car seat and he bucked himself right out! That kid wants to get movin'!

We had a fun time and coloring eggs with Brad's family. It was good to see them and catch up. On Saturday we went to my sister Lindsay's house for lunch, and our easter egg hunt, along with decorating sugar cookies.

This is Piper helping me make sugar cookies. She loves to help in the kitchen!

We ate lunch and then helped the kids decorated the cookies. Marci brought the yummy homemade cream cheese frosting and Grandma Jensen brought the candy. I love decorating sugar cookies! These are some pictures of the fun....

The final product...don't they look good?

Next came the big Easter Egg hunt... We had a lot of eggs filled with candy and the kids just scattered when we told them to hunt eggs.

Stockton even got in on the action and got himself some eggs.... he was just happy to be there!

We got through the day of candy and cookies-then came Sunday morning which is a little stressful trying to get to church on time. These are the Easter dresses the girls got and their baskets.

Could you tell we had some drama going on? I COULD NOT get a good picture of all of them in their Easter dresses. We were having meltdowns big time so I gave up on the picture.

This picture makes me laugh! Brooklyn is SO grumpy but yet she is still trying to smile. The look on Reese's face just cracks me up. She is a little poser! In the end I didn't get my picture, but we had a nice weekend with beautiful weather.....one of the few we have had this Spring. Hopefully as the girls wear their dresses to church I can get a decent picture of them when they aren't so moody. Is that even possible? Lol!!!
