She loves to dance :)

I love these pictures ffrom Carly's dance classes.  I hated that they only lasted a month.  She had such a good time :)

 But I' not sure she likes the tights...haha!

1st dance class

Carly went to her first ballet class tonight.  She was excited until we got there and then she didn't know what to think.  She spent most of the time sitting in that chair.

But she liked watching the other kids.

And occasionally she would stand up and try a move.

But when Ms. Shawna got the lea's out she was all about it.

Well, for a minute and then she went back to her chair.

Yes, it took her a while but she finally decided to join in!

And this is what she did as soon as we got home.  Gotta love that dirty little ballet dancer!

Kittens, Kittens and MORE Kittens!!!

About a year ago Carly and I went to get a kitten.  We ended up with 2.  She fell in love with one and I fell in love with another, so we gotr both :)  Needless to say I don't realize those 2 cats would multiply by 8.  That's right.  Now we have 16...2 Mommas and 14 babies!  Holy Cow!  Oh how Carly loves them!!!

We brought the out of the garage for the first time and Lily kept taking them back in one at a time.

Carly didn't like that very much.  She kept trying to hold them down.

But it didn't help.  Eveytime Lilly would run off with one she would yell, "No, Kitty Cat NO!  You bring my kitty back!"

Dora and Diego

Dora and Diego visited Mesker Park Zoo so Jeanette and I took the kiddos.  Both Carly and Carter love Diego.  You couldn't tell though because neither of them would get close.  (I don't have any pics of Carly with the characters.  They are on Jeanette's camera.  Bummer!)  But the kids had fun anyway!  I think our favorite part was watching the monkeys.  They were crazy!  Most of the other animals were jsut lazing around.  I guess it was too hot.

SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!! Mother's Day 2011

We've been keeping a BIG secret for a while!

What better day to share than Mother's Day!

SurPrISe!!!!

That's right Carly is going to be a big sister in November!  And we've been keeping it a secret since the beginning of April.  How exciting!  I think my heart doubled in size when I saw the pink line!

Rainy Day Fun--April 2011

It may have rained and rained and rained but don't think we didn't have fun!  In fact playing in rain puddles is about as fun as it gets...at least for a 2 year old!  And what else is all that rain good for?  MUD!!!!  Yep, Carly was a pretty happy little girl.
