Tap, Ballet and Soccer Oh My!!

We have had a busy week this past week.  Adelaide had her dance pictures last friday and since Mommy was busy with the consignment sale up at church, Daddy was in charge of getting Adelaide to her pictures, fully dressed in tutu, tap shoes and gloves.  I did come home long enough to handle fixing her hair and putting on a tiny bit of makeup, but Daddy did the rest!  Adelaide is dancing to "Lollipop, Lollipop."

Adelaide is also starting soccer this weekend and her Daddy is coaching her team, The Cheetah's!  She is so excited to get started.  We have purchased pink shin guards and cleats with pink flowers on them (yes I know, ALOT of pink!!). This past Sunday, the coaches had a team dinner at Sol Azteca, where the kids got to meet each other and were given their uniforms.   Adelaide was so excited and couldn't wait to try on her "costume"  - as she called it!  She insisted she wear it for the remainder of dinner, and of course, had to model it for me!

Not sure about the facial expressions, but she was beyond excited!



Happy Valentine's Day!

We were suprised to hear the doorbell ring at 8:30 this morning and to our sheer delight, Daddy had sent roses to all 3 of his girls for Valentine's Day.  The girls were so excited they could barely contain themselves!  We love our Daddy!

Thank you Daddy!!

Happy "Early" Valentine's Day

Today, both girls had their Valentine's parties b/c they are out school tomorrow.  They actually cooperated pretty well for me this morning before school and I was actually able to get some good shots.  Adelaide is too big now for mommie's to come to her party, but we were invited to Elizabeth's and of course I was there with camera in tow!

This was their placecard - how cute!

This is the reaction I got when I asked her to smile.

Loving on Charlie - he seems less than impressed!

Hugging on Katharine

Here comes the bride!!

Adelaide has been quite obsessed with our wedding album and insisted on watching our wedding video last week.  She watched the entire video from beginning to end and wouldn't even let me fast forward thru the slow parts of the ceremony!  She was mesmerized (as was I - particularly at how young Ben and I looked!!).  She loves to try on my wedding dress and when Ben got back into town last week she insisted on him dressing up in one of his suits and playing "wedding".  I had to be the preacher and had them say their vows to each other -- it was hysterical!
