Another recap

So our little ballarenia had her first dance recital. It was at 5:30 in the evening and she did not have a nap that day, so she was not too eager on leaving our laps and SCREAMED like you have never heard. I carried her backstage and she screamed and I told the instructor I thought it best to leave her and run....so I did and by the time the curtian opened she was dry eyed and ready to dance. She tried to follow along and I was VERY proud of her, she did great. I totally believe that the whole dance thing at 3 is a farce but so darn cute that the parents pay the fees. I do not quite believe that I have a future swan lake star in our presence but she had fun and it was fun to watch. Even the boys liked watching her. here is a video

School is also now out for the summer. Dale is excited to start 2nd grade in the fall and Reid in Kinder. We had our end of the year party and gave his teacher a directors chair for her to use in the class. I think it turned out soo cute, and she LOVED it.

Also we went to Nebraska to visit family and enjoy the 125 centinneal of Filley, Nebraska, my moms home town. It was good to see everyone and we had a ball. My grandmother and Great Grand Father are in amazing shape. He is 91, and she is 85, both live at home unassisted and actually assist others, she has a garden that is close to a nursery and so beautiful and time consuming, and he mows the huge lawn and they are just so cute and happy and independant. he is actually the oldest man in the town....which is maybe not who you want to be but he is so healthy you would never know ....I guess you are only as old as you feel. We also saw how they farmed back in the day....wow we have come a long way. The boys were in the little tuggers tractor pull...small pedal tractors and a legit "sled" with moving weight and all... Reid took off and did great and placed 2nd, a hos of a boy beat him. And Dale got first in his age classfor the boys he was beat pretty bad by a little girl...but anyway was given an invitation to participate in the state fair pull...we passed as we will be here. He won a tractor and Reid was disappointed so Dale gave the tractor to Reid....Dale is so accomodating to both Reid and Macy....most of the time. Dale did have an injury, while playing water guns he fell on his and cut his cheek and inside of his mouth....we debated a stitch and opted for some steri strips and assistance from Jess and Jane and it looks great now.

This is just a video of the water slide....
