Ballet & Gymnastics

We started both baby ballet and gymnastics this week. After week one, gymnastics is the winner! She didn't want me to leave the room for ballet and it was a little too slow for her taste. Gymnastics on the other hand, she loved! It is a mommy and me class so she was much happier that I got to stay with her. She did really good and especially loved the bars and the trampoline. Since I was a participant in the gymnastics class most of the pictures came from ballet.

Practicing before we left!

Dancing in a train!

At the bar. She kept trying to do chin ups instead of ballet.

She's looking at me and saying please come get me!

Weekend with Grandma, Pops and Aunt Klanci

Laney was so happy to have Grandma, Pops and Aunt Klanci come to visit!  Here are a few pictures we took after church on Sunday.

Look...Mom's shoes fit me!

She loved the dinosaurs that came with her new pool. She named them Oscar and Otis (after Grandma's dogs).

Laney LOVED the pool that Grandma and Pops brought her. She could hardly wait for us to get it aired up!

More Pool Pics

Uncle Dac thought he was only going to get his feet wet but Laney made sure his shorts were soaked. Here they are riding on the dinosaurs!

At first he was only going to show Laney how to ride them!

She needed Grandma and Aunt Klanci to hold the waterfall in place so her dinosaurs could run under the water. 

Look at my fish face!

Memorial Day Weekend

On Saturday we went to the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glenrose (southwest of Dallas) where we did a driving tour of the exotic animal safari. It was incredible! Laney and I both had a Giraffe eat out of our hands. I was actually terrified at the time but looking back it was pretty cool. I can't believe we forgot our camera. Anyway, here are some pictures we took after church instead. Not nearly as exciting as the pictures I'd be posting if we'd taken our camera to the safari.

Here's Laney and Porter the puppy (one of her all time favorites) posing for a picture.

Best buddies. Laney takes care of Cosmo and vice versa.

Dru and I were making lunch and noticed that Laney was unusually quiet. We found her laying down with Cosmo on his bed.

Justin and Adrian came over for dinner and Laney was loving Adrian. She calls Adrian by name but refers to Justin as 'that boy'. 

Memorial Day Weekend Continued...

We went to Ft. Worth on Sunday to hang out with Lea, Joby, Hudson, Hattie, Jill and Graham. We had the best time!

Laney and Hudson went down the slide a thousand times!

 

How fun does this look!!!

Watch out...crazy driver!

Dinner time!

Laney loved the trampoline and would have jumped all night if we'd let her.

Weekend with Nana and Umps

Nana and Umps came to visit last weekend and Laney was so thrilled to see them. We had two birthday parties on Saturday. We took this picture before we left for the first party.

Dru and Umps put the finishing touches on the tire swing that Dru built. She loves it!

We had to go check out the tire swing as soon we got home from church.

Laney is headed off to school and Nana and Umps were heading home.

Trip to Broken Arrow

We had a great time with Grandma and Pops last weekend. Laney was so excited to show off her bike riding skills!

We took a trip to the Aquarium. Laney got to feed the turtles!

She's trying to get up the courage to stick her hand in the water like Pops.

Laney and Grandma in their rocking chairs in the back yard.

She spent a lot of time playing at the bottom of the stairs. Here she's putting all of 'her people' down for a nap.
