Tis the Season for Boating

Have I ever mentioned I am definitely a fair weathered person??? I would be perfectly content relocating every winter to somewhere warm. I wish the warmness lasted more than a couple months. It seems to be happier in our home during the Spring/Summer time. We can all get out, soak up some Vitamin D, and have lots of fun options to choose from. Indoor play just hasn't measured up to outdoor play.
/ We ventured out on the lake the other week. Shout out to Taylor who mastered surfing without the rope. I still haven't gotten there. Last summer, boating/surfing wasn't in the picture for me so I'm trying to jump back on the ban wagon. We had a lot of fun...as we always do.

Dance Performance and Pre-School Graduation

Ryah was begging to take dance last year. To be honest, I didn't want to have another thing to commit myself to, not that I have a lot, but just being a mom is commitment enough sometimes. Anyway, we talked it about it for quite some time and decided to let her try it out half way thru the year. She really enjoyed, but has decided she likes tap a lot better than jazz/ballet. She had her big dance recital at Layton High. My sister was a dancer and told my mom how she always wished she would have gotten flowers like everyone else after her dance performances, so that is what Ryah was "awarded" with after her performance. She felt pretty special. You can tell by the pics, each one she made me wait while she posed herself differently.
