The girls had a little dance recital to finish off their spring/summer mini session!  For the last month, we haven’t been able to sit in and watch, so I haven’t seen their progress recently.  I was surprised with how much each girl has learned this go around.  They both have really strong ballet fundamentals.  Yay!  If either of them want to be dancers someday, they’ve definitely got the moves!

 

Noelle had such beautiful posture, technique and style!  I was so impressed with the way she picked up everything so quickly!

 

We didn’t have a good angle on Anna Kate for taking pictures, but she was precious and did so great!  She got a little distracted from time to time, but she retains words and positions so well.  She doesn’t miss a beat… even if she gets distracted.  She was adorable!

 

Noelle was feeling the flow of the music.  She was the oldest one in the class, which is right up her alley being mother hen and all, and we’re encouraging her to enjoy anything that will keep building her confidence, because each positive experience is making her stronger!

 

Plie, sweet girl!

 

Working out of fifth position…

Take a bow, Cutie Kate!  Love her little side-ways tongue when she’s concentrating… I always tell her she’s my precious angel!

 

You go girl!  Noelle loves to be in the spot light, and she’s good at it too!  Here are the big girls with Miss Haley.  She was a wonderful teacher!  The girls learned so much; she was happy, patient, energetic and kept the girls on track.

Anna Kate was looking at us and smiling with delight that she did a great job!

 

Kay Kay, Grandpapa, Aunt Sharon, Rose, Mommy, and Daddy came to cheer for Noelle and Anna Kate!  The girls are so blessed to have such wonderful people in their lives!

  

And then things went a little something like this (that’s my new saying).  Noelle and Anna Kate found their friends Cory and Landry in another class (Tae Kwon Do), and right after I took a quick picture in the gym, I turned around, and Rose actually got the fire extinguisher door open!  I’m just laughing out loud at how full our hands are with her!!!  It’s like that old country song that says, “Can’t live with her, but can’t live without her!”  She is one of the three best things that have ever happened to Mike and me, curious all the time or never, we gotta have her!

This activity went down every day after dance class!  She always looked forward to showing off her bicycle bar skills.  Maybe gym next?
