A Week With Family and Friends June 2015


Image
Our first stop was Keith and Stacia's where we spent a couple of days.  Our main event was assembling an early birthday present for Emily and Austin.

Austin seemed to enjoy himself


Image
as did Emily

Image
We all enjoyed Friday afternoon in the back yard


Image
SURPRISE........We also got them a giant ball that squirts water!

Saturday Afternoon we went to Jeff and Kendra's and then to Alayna and Becca's dance recital.

Both girls were in two dance numbers!

Becca is 2nd from the left (waving).  If is her first recital.

The girls danced to "Turkey In The Straw"

 This was Alayna's 4th year of dance.  Their 1st number was "Just Like A Rock Star".

it is always difficult to get the little girls all on the same page!
 Alayna did an exceptional job on her final routine!
"Five Ballet Steps"

Kendra's Surprise Party!

a few days in advance of Kendra's 30th Birthday, her husband Jeff planned a big celebration and had one of Kendra's friends keep her away from the house for a few hours.


Preparations

Their back patio and garage had tables and chairs for the expected 60+ guests

We had driven up the day before and stayed at Keith & Stacia's home until Jeff gave us the "all clear".

Jeff even hired a taco cart which was a big hit!

The previous photo is Alayna now, the next one was taken in our Florida home six years ago and was Alayna's first Easter.  She was almost 6 months old and seems to be asking "is this for me?"
