Lily's dance season!

So....

to say Lily's element is hip hop....is an understatement!

OH my I LOVED watching her do her hip hop routine!

She was awesome! She had that sass. She had the moves. She rocked it!

Now, ballet, she did awesome too! She was beautiful on stage and smiled and did her routine!.....but the hip hop............yep, that was my favorite of all the dances!

We were ready to hit the recital!
 Daddy was ready to see his girls do their thing too!
 Two hip hop girls that did it for the first time....and its become their favorite!
 All.that.sass.
 Get it!
 She did so good!
 Love!
 My favorite picture!
 Then...on to ballet!
 My tiny ballerina!
 That smile!
 Her and Alexis got their award!
 
 Her hip hop routine was selected to be in the 2nd show too {because it was just so stinking cute!} so we hung out while we waited on the next show! She wanted me to take a picture of her...doing hip hop on top and ballet on the bottom! ha!
 Cassell was in the 2nd show and she was sooo excited that we were there to watch her! I asked her if she was going to smile big on stage...and her response was 'OF COURSE!' ha!
 Two chicks ready! I love how the venue was moved to Anniston high school this time instead of Oxford Performing Arts where it had been all the other years. It was much more laid back and we could take pictures {during rehearsal last night too} It was a much better environment! So....see...there is some good amongst the bad {COVID!} :)
 These girls were ready to perform in the 2nd show!
After Lily did her hip hop, we left so we didnt stay for the full 2nd show since we did for the 1st. It was a good dance day!

Dance 2020! Lex's last dance...

Soooo..Alexis' last dance season has come.

I honestly had hoped that it would be something she kept with and it would have allowed me to watch her as even a senior in high school up on stage.

To watch her is just beautiful!

I love watching her up on stage!

Now, she probably could squeeze in a dance class or two in the next years to come but because she made cheer for the high school....that is going to fill all of her time. And, I am excited for that! :)

So, for her last dance....

it didnt disappoint!

Just beautiful!

Up first...hip hop! She wanted to do contemporary this year but once she got in that class...didnt like the class {not really contemporary} so she switched to hip hop! BOY.....you would not have thought it was her first year!
She had all the sass!
She loved hip hop!
Get it girl!
Then...my favorite....my ballerina! She would cut ballet in a second...but she is just sooooooo graceful and her form is just so beautiful that I wouldnt let her cut it!
The costume was just beautiful on her!

Just shining!
Loooove!
This. This is what I love and will miss next year but excited to see her do what else she loves {most} which is be a JHS Junior High cheerleader!

A float for a birthday!

Today Alexis celebrated sweet 'big' Lily's birthday!

We love her so! She is basically part of the family and I would claim her in a minute! She is a friend that Alexis needs as she is a great example of maturity mixed with sass who is very respectful and kind.

Lily's birthday is July 2nd which is just a couple of days before Alexis'. So she celebrated early and Alexis called and said it was a fun day! Not only did they float but they are all spending the night, tonight, too!

Allll the girls having fun in the sun!....tubing down the creek!
Sweet memories!
Happy early birthday 'big' Lily!

Happy Father's day!

Happy Father's day to this guy!

We are thankful for all he does, for loving us and for being the 'fixer of everything' per Lily!

Happy Father's day to all the guys in our lives too! My Dad, Pawpaw, Ben, Andrew, Richard, Vic, soon to be Bill too! We have some fabulous guys around!

These two girls love their Daddy!


Today we did what Daddy wanted to do! Well...this one...got all 'cute'...and in her 'golfing attire'....so I snapped a picture!
This one is learning the game with her Daddy!
We played a little golf....hit the balls at the driving range...then had lunch at Nan and Pawpaw's. Came home just in time for an afternoon thunderstorm and a nap! Ahhh....Tyler said it was a great Father's day! :)




PCB pictures!

We had the best 'photo shoot' this year!

It is probably our last year for pictures as Alexis will be busy with cheer the next years...

The weather was perfection! The breeze, the sunset...alllll of it was great! They are all my favorite!


I took some balcony pictures and a shot right in the condo just to keep for memory's sake too! :)
