Our Little Mermaid

 Our little Squiggler can swim! Now she is no Michael Phelps, but she can swim like a mermaid underwater. We are so proud of her! She may not be the best dancer, but in her swimming class she is the STAR! Her teacher wanted to put her in level one and says that Squiggler knows more then some of the level one kids, but she can't join because she is not 4 yet.  That's okay we will keep her in the Tot class and just help her refine her skills.  All of our girls are such little fishes and all of them learned to swim at an early age! Way to go Squiggler!

Happy 4th Of July 2012

Here's little Miss Squiggler in her Patriotic outfit. She took off the bow and kicked off her shoes and wouldn't stand nicely so I could get a good shot of her! This was the best I could do, but it still shows off her wild personality. We spent a nice day at home. My honey grilled outside. We made potato salad and Weegie baked up a storm. She made brownies using diet coke, they were yummy, cupcakes and banana ice cream that is very good! We went outside and watched the neighbors shoot off fireworks and Squiggler loved it. She is not afraid of anything, which scares the beejeebers out of her dad and I. Weegie has summer school tomorrow so we didn't want to stay out to late and I think that is why we ended up staying home. We were invited to a new place, because my aunt and uncle weren't feeling up to partying. It was still a nice 4th!

Beautiful Smile!

Speedy Cheetah got her braces off today and she is a very happy girl! She was very good and did EVERYTHING the orthodontist told her to and she got them off in exactly two years. She actually would have gotten them off in May, but there was a slight glitch in the communication. The first thing she did was ask for some gum and the ortho gave her a "goody" bag that contained things she hasn't been able to have in the last two years. Now we have 3 beautiful girls with 3 beautiful smiles and no more braces for a while we hope! You're beautiful Speedy Cheetah, but you always have been!

Dance Recital

 Today two out of three of my girls had a dance recital. Squiggler joined in October last year right when the new dance studio opened and Weegie joined in January. This was the first annual dance recital for Royalty Dance Academy and it was great! Miss Erica is the main teacher and owner, along with her brother Ness. They are some great people and work really hard! Miss Erica has a lot of patience with the Squiggler in particular!

 We were worried about how Squiggler was going to do and react on stage. Yesterday for rehearsal she did pretty well, but today with all the people there, she kind of did her own thing. She loves to dance and likes dance class, but she dances to the beat of her own drummer. She loves certain dance moves and will do those over and over again and not follow the steps. Weegie was in the back with her and got to see her from the wings. Miss Erica told her if Squiggler made a run for it then she should catch her. I actually think that is hilarious and says a lot about what Miss Erica thinks of the Squig. She is one of the youngest ones in her group and probably the most immature.

 Weegie takes a Hip Hop class and loves it! She really enjoys going every week and would take more classes if they were available to her. I honestly think she was the best one in her group because she really gave it her 100% and practiced constantly. Her instructor's name was Taz and she is an excellent choreographer! She use to work at my school as the drill team coach and won numerous awards with such young girls.

 We took some pictures when we came home. I love the one above and the one below. My girls have the best smiles!

 Weegie and I love to take pictures together. She does her own make up and I loved how her eyes are ginormous! I want her to practice on me, but she says I'm too impatient. She is probably right, because I don't take a lot of time putting on make up.

This was at rehearsal and I was just messing around with the picjoiner. Squiggler on the top and with her BFF Lily. On the bottom is her, her BFF and another little girl named Maddie. They are only about a week apart. I hope I always remember how the Squiggler did her own thing during the dance. She was very funny because during the Twist song she made up her own dance. She kind of stole the show! Unfortunately, they did not have a videographer there taking video, but my friend Di did and so hopefully she can get me a copy. They did have a regular photographer!
