Meg's ballet rehearsal

        

Meg's ballet class rehearsed their "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" spring recital performance.  They were so cute!

A few of Charlie's favorite things

These are a few of Charlie's favorite things: ice cream, balls of any kind, our fair goldfish, dinosaurs, and most importantly, God and Jesus.

Cirque de la Symphonie

Daddy and Jane Gray had a date to the Jackson Symphony's Cirque de la Symphonie for fun and for violin time credit.  It was an entertaining symphony event with the added performers - acrobats, clowns, and gymnasts.  It was a lot of fun just being the two of us.

Rodeo

We enjoyed the rodeo again this year.  There were more bulls, which we loved, and the cowboys won for the second year in a row (just as Charlie predicted).  The entertainment was Loretta Lynn.  She was amazing, especially since she is more than 80 years old!

No more training wheels for Meg

Look who has learned how to ride a bike!  Meg learned in all of five minutes.  We were very impressed!  She was the easiest child to teach, hands down.

Rodeo parade

After our basketball games, we went outside to find that we were in the middle of the Rodeo parade.  The kids went crazy for the beads and candy.  They also scored a whistle, baseball cap, frisbee, and some huggies.

Basketball games

The big kids did well in their basketball games today.  Charlie has really become a good dribbler, and he loves to shoot (especially 3-pointers).  It's harder to score at Jane Gray's level (though she has made a basket), and Jane Gray has become a master picker and defender.

P is for pajamas

Meg wore her new pajamas for Pajama Day at school.

Charlie's new year's resolutions

Mary Stewart and Meg

We're going to miss Mary Stewart next year!

Happy birthday, Pop!

2013 Bach Festival

Jane Gray received superior marks at the Bach Festival and got to play in the Honors recital.  She was very excited and performed her piece so well!

Pig show

Daddy couldn't resist taking the children to the pig show on the way home from the birthday party.  The kids loved seeing and petting all of the animals!

Meg's 5th birthday party

Meg and Laurie had a joint ballerina birthday party together.  The Covenant Preschool ballet teacher, Miss Krista, gave the girls a ballet lesson.  The girls also decorated pinata candy bags, had their nails and makeup done by Jane Gray and the Hurst girls, took turns hitting the ballet slipper pinata, and ate lots of cupcakes and ice cream.  It was such a fun party!
