Lulu's Recital

Lulu and Kate

This year's dance recital theme was High School Musical and it was held at a local High School Gymnasium. Lulu danced in two pieces: Jazz/Tap and Ballet. Ballet is Lu's favorite and it shows! She is amazing! Because of the magic of carpooling, Rich and I hadn't seen her dance all year. So when she performed her first number, we were in tears! Lulu can really dance. She is such a beautiful ballerina!

Bravo, Bravo!

The Start Cousins Help Kick Off Summer!

Sam, Eric, Morgan and Memphis helped us "Start" summer off right with a weekend visit! Since Morgs and Mems are part fish, we swam a lot! I've never seen two girls love the water more! We even got to help Morgan celebrate an early 8th Birthday!
The best thing about having visitors... doing all the touristy things here in Vegas! It's about the only time the kids and I ever make it down to The Strip!
The kids love exploring FAO Swartz!
Memphis and Ruby gave us a preview of what to expect from them during our summer in SLC!
Double-Trouble!

Last Day of School!

The Last Day of School finally arrived... and we were more than ready this year! We need a break from dance, baseball, golf, projects, homework... we need summer! We get one month of Vegas summer and then we head on up to SLC for 5 1/2 weeks of Utah summer! So look out sleeping in, look out slurpees, look out swimming before breakfast, look out late nights, look out rec center waterslide... then watch out Utah - here we come!
