Branson 2011 Part 1…

And here we are again for our 5th year at Big Cedar.  Every year gets more and more fun.  Candy and Rich joined us again this year and it was great.

Bass Pro Shop…So completely amazing with all the wildlife exhibits…

Joe’s Crab Shack is always a favorite…

Do you see how well behaved my sister’s boys are?  Completely patient while waiting for their meal…

…and then there is mine…Uncle Erick is so completely thrilled to get to sit next to her…

Yes…CRABBY would  be the right adjective.  How did that waiter know him so well…

We got to stay in cabins this year.  SO completely awesome!…and so are pantless 2 year olds…

On one of the nights, we all saw a show on this showboat…REALLY fun…

These guys were fantastic…And this girl … WOW!  You can’t see in the picture, but she has a violin strapped to her.  Yes…she played it while doing THIS!…

This is what a posed picture of my kids tends to look like…

SO fun!

A fun game of washers…

The Lincoln Log table …

Spring Dance Recital

We were so lucky to have so much family in town the weekend of Sawyer’s spring dance recital.  Trevor (cousin) graduated the same weekend so it all turned out just perfect.  We love cousin Lexi and especially the her talents with stage makeup…

There’s that sweet little butterfly.  This costume was my favorite…even if little miss didn’t want to do this dance for ANYTHING!…

She would do this thing with her lips because of the lipstick…..SO funny…

The monkey dance…

I’m gonna be honest.  For as ready as my daughter was for this part of her childhood to be over (dance), she was BY FAR the best at the monkey dance…

Yep…great form…

POST Pre-K

There she is…1 day of Preschool left…

And there she is being Sawyer…We got to join our kids on the last day for a picnic lunch.  Of course, the weather never cooperates in Kansas so it turned into an indoor activity.  That’s OK, though.  A picnic’s a picnic, right?…

Mrs. Wright…

Mrs. Slack…

The next time I see this, it will be her FIRST day of KINDERGARTEN!!!!…oh my…

Emily and Sawyer are great friends.  Susie (Emily’s mom) and I are great friends…

and…these 2 will both be going to the same elementary school in the fall..YAY!!!

Sawyer’s Spring Program ‘11 … Kidslink Goes Prehistoric

I love watching this kid perform.  She never disappoints.  I hope she never loses her stage presence.

We love Kidslink Preschool.  We are 2 for 3 right now.  Kinda sad to think that we only get to watch one more go through this preschool program….BUT…taking a year off of monthly tuition…I can handle that
