Big Cedar Lodge

For Memorial Day Weekend we went to Big Cedar Lodge with my parents. We all stayed in a cabin and then Saturday morning Brad, Paula and the boys drove up. I don't know why I didn't take more pictures at the Lodge. It was AMAZING!!! We drove up Friday nigt then woke up to a DELICIOUS breakfast buffet Saturday morning. We spent most of Saturday swimming. BCL has 3 pools, one of which has a baby pool, lazy river and water slide! Violet went down the water slide BY HERSELF!!! No one is sure what got into her, we think she may have been following Veronika down...thankfully Veronika was still in the catch pull and was able to quickly pull her up! She was so scared! She said, "I try to stop myself but I keep going faster and faster!" She is a VERY cautious and anxious little thing and she still gets upset when we talk about her slide experience!

Our friend loved the popcorn we left out for him!

Sleepy time was not going to happen with all 3 of them in bed!

Beauty and The Beast

For Christmas my parents got Steve and I season tickets to the Celebrity Attractions season at Robinson. When we heard Beauty and the Beast was coming we knew we had to bring Veronika with us! Brad and Paula came with Jackson and Tucker so we really enjoyed watching it with them!

Princess Wishes

Back in April, Mom and I took Violet to see "Disney On Ice: Princess Wishes" Viole went through a "terrible" period during her 2nd year; however, when she turned 3 it was like a switch turned on and she is such a sweet little girl! She loved having all the attention for the evening, we had dinner at Community Bakery and then went to the show. We had tickets through our church so we got to sit close to several of our friends! Thanks Dodi for such a fun, special night!

Dance Recital!

I can't believe I've let over a month and a half go by without blogging! We've been busy lately and I need to do several posts to update but I'll just start with the most recent! Today was Veronika's Dance Recital. This year she took at Rock City Dance Center in Little Rock. Veronika really has a natural talent for dance and we've been really happy with this year's experience at RCDC. She performed in three dances. These were taken last night at Dress Rehearsal and I forgot to get a picture of her in her Tap costume!

Jazz Number: "Born To Be Wild"

(Not Pictured) Tap Number: "Boogie Shoes"

Hip Hop Number: "Hip Hop Dolls"

I was taking pictures of Veronika and noticed Violet off to the side posing just like her "Sissy."

I love watching my kids love each other! Violet is already enrolled for dance next year at RCDC; she wants to dance just like Veronika:)
