Dance Festival

We always had these when I was in elementary school.  It was fun to dress up and perform a dance for your families at the end of school.  I have been disappointed that they didn't do this at their other school.  It was fun to come to their new school and see their performances.   I couldn't get a very good picture of Kaitlyn dancing because she was on the other end.

Gavin's 4th Birthday!

Gavin got up at 6:30 in the morning on his birthday!  He had been waiting and waiting for it to be his birthday. I think it is hard for him that the girls' birthdays are so close. He has to wait so long for it to be his birthday again.  He told me a couple of weeks ago that he wished it was Christmas again so he could tell Santa that he wants an Ipod.  Well luckily he got his Ipod for his birthday. The kid has been glued to it for days!  He also got a light up scooter that he was super excited about.  For dinner he wanted to have hotdogs and salad.  The kid loves Caesar salad.  He would eat it all day everyday if he could.  He wanted to have donuts intead of cake, so we put the candles on his donut!

Celebrating Dylan

We decided to go to Dylan's grave a day early this year.  Each year Gavin seems to take more of this to heart.  He talks about Dylan more than he has in the past and says that he misses him.  Gavin chose a Spiderman balloon for Dylan this year.  We finally got a fun pinwheel for the gravesite as well.  It's nice to have all the family together at this more tender time in our lives.

Kaitlyn's Gymnastics Performance

Kaitlyn was in gymnastics for a few months this year.  This was their end program.  She really didn't progress a whole lot over the period of time, so I think it is safe to say that she is not meant to be a gymnast!  She had a good time, but wasn't very good at it.

Preschool Program Gavin

I am used to having little girls who love being in the spotlight and so they perform at these types of functions. Gavin is quite shy in crowds so he mostly stood around for the program. I know he knows the songs, but he doesn't really sing at all. There is a song with a partner dance where he dances with his friend Vince. They both are a little shy, but they are cute dancing together.
