My Little Ballerina

Dance photo time! We only had one this week, we have 6 more next week - it's going to be a busy week of hair and make-up!

April, So Far

Wow! I haven't posted in over a month? What a bad blogger I've been...I guess I'll just try to let you know what we've been doing so far this month. The girls have still been dancing and soccer has started back up for Peyton. Mackenzie decided not to play softball this year.

On April 1st, there was a fundraiser at Peyton's school - the Gator Gallery...each class creates an art project for an auction and students perform in a talent show. Peyton, Molly and Ashley danced.
We had a quiet Easter, there was a wonderful service at church then we came home and gave the girls baskets - mainly movies (The Blind Side and New Moon for Mackenzie and The Princess and the Frog for Peyton, Toy Story 1 and 2 on DVDs to replace our VHS tapes divided between both of them). And yes, that is rice and soy sauce you see in Mackenzie's basket...she gave it up for Lent and wanted it every day. It is her favorite.

Friday was Jason's birthday - he didn't want a cake, but requested Coconut Cream Pie (which I make using a super easy recipe).

Saturday morning we went to the Autism walk. Our wonderful friends - Todd, Tammy and Drake, have forever been very supportive of Mackenzie and the fundraisers we have for the CFF, so we were very excited to have an opportunity to be supportive of them.

Mackenzie's friends, Emily and Abby were there on the "Chandler's Champions" Team for Abby's brother. We have many friends affected by Autism and these families are so amazing!

There was a 5k as part of the event and Peyton wanted to run it, her nice Daddy agreed to run it with her. So...this is the first time they've run since the last 5k, I'm pretty sure they would have benefited from a little running between November and April but they did great! They want to run another in May so maybe they'll start working on getting ready for it.

After the event, Peyton had a soccer game then camping for Girl Scouts and Mackenzie had dance and a sleepover so Jason and I had a date night. There was a CFF fundraiser I wanted to go to but it was more something I'd go to with girlfriends (fashion show) and since it was Jason's birthday weekend we spent some time together instead.

Mackenzie had an appointment last Wednesday with Dr. Warren due to an increased cough - this is always a bad time of year for her (both hospital stays have come right after the Spring - end of June/July is when it all catches up with her). I should talk to him tomorrow to see what her culture shows but she really doesn't have any other symptoms and her cough has gotten better!
