Musical, Recital and Popsicle

Hannah has had a few big performances lately.......at the end of the school year Hannah had a musical performance at her Mothers Day Out.  It was the "Creations Musical" and all classes represented what God created that day.  Hannah's class was day 6 and represented animals (she was a lady bug).  It was really cute.  Hannah had been singing a new song at home and I couldn't figure out what it was.......now I know that she was practicing for her musical.  She loves to sing all the time and makes up funny songs (especially when I am changing her diaper).
Hannah started "mommy and me" dance class in February and she has loved it.  It is really cute to watch her learn some ballet moves and she is learning the french terms for the moves as well.  She loves to do a "plie" and "arabesque".  The recital was a few weeks ago and Hannah did great.  I was up on stage with her and we had a blast.  Hannah did make up a few of her own moves.  Instead of twirling around, she ran circles around me and instead of walking in a circle while holding my hands she decided to pick up her feet and thought it was really funny for me to spin her around.....she never did any of this during practice, only up on stage.  I don't think our daughter has any stage freight :).  We purchased the video of the performance and I can't wait to see it!
Before the big performance....
Still refusing to look at the camera for me....
Up on stage....it was a big auditorium and it was full!
Later that evening we went over to Debbie and Dan's to grill out.  The kids loved playing in their huge backyard.  The guys are trying to practice their putting with the help of all the kids.
Hannah had her first popsicle and I think she was a big fan.
I hope everybody had a great Monday.

Hannah's Birthday Pictures (I promise this is the final birthday post)

This post will be pictures only.  We had a great time taking Hannah's birthday pictures in downtown Bentonville.  She enjoyed playing with the balloons.  Here are my favorites.....

Have a great weekend.





Hannah's Birthday Party (Part 3)

I have so many posts to do....you better get ready for a blog post overload.  I may even get crazy and do two in one day :)  First I am still finishing up Hannah's birthday, then we have recital and musical, vacation, the house....
We had another wonderful birthday celebration for Hannah at our house.  We had some friends and family over for appetizers, cake and drinks and lots of lawn games. Such a great way to end our week of birthday celebrations!
The fabulous cake
Party Favor....
Drink Table
Center Pieces
Cousins
Hannah stripped down to get into the pool and soon after that she decided the diaper was a little too heavy and took that off too.....she has now done that a few times.  I let her play in her water table while I was watering our flowers and I turn around to find her standing in the water table naked. 
This girl can play outside for hours
I think Hannah was a little bummed when all of the birthday celebrations were over.  She enjoys having people around and she enjoyed opening all of the wonderful gifts.  She has been playing with  lots of new toys.
