First Dance Recital

Sara Beth's first dance recital was May 19, 2012.

She took from Ms. Alyson at Repeat Perfomance in a 3&4 combo class.(tap,ballet,tumbling)

The tap routine was her first performance...a little shy and slow moving to "Shake, Rattle and Roll"

                                         Backstage with sweet friends (Meredith and Ollie)
                                                     waiting for our ballet routine!

"A Dream is Wish your Heart Makes" was the ballet routine music and Sara Beth loved it!!

Doc, Daddy and Mahlon brought the princess balloons and flowers and she got a trophy!

We had a yummy dinner at Sombra afterwards to celebrate!

Run for Hope

Our Church Madison Heights held its Second Annual Run for Hope 5k and we made it a family event!

Wesley ran for real and placed 2nd in his age group and 6th overall! I ran walked with the twins in the double jogger! I was pushing close to 100lbs with the two of them so I was just happy I finished!! I think I finished in 29 minutes and my goal was to finish of course but if I could do it in under 30 minutes I would be happy...I'm happy! The kids couldn't understand why I couldn't go any faster!! Ugh! There were some massive hills!!!!
