LAGOON - It's Where FUN is (and also where you can wear your TRASHIEST outfit- oh yeah, and don't worry about wearing a BRA with that tank top)

So, we had our ANNUAL Lagoon Day for Spence's work and it was really fun - minus all of the women that were totally going for the "Most Trashy" award! Seriously, it is as bad as going to the Layton Walmart!! Spence thought it would be funny to take pictures of all of the girl's (not a head shot) and post it, but I couldn't think of a way to do it without them seeing - as I am not very sneaky. Anyway, I am not sure if they thought it was attractive, but really, those tanks that are loose and hang low - they NEED a bra underneath! It is not a good look. Besides the general Lagoon attire, fun was had and the kids LOVED it. Kendalyn is finally tall enough to go on EVERY ride and she took full advantage of it too. Grady LOVED the airplanes and the boats and kept saying "boat" and "plane" over and over. Adri loved every ride she went on, and was able to sneak onto the bigger rides when the guy/girl wasn't paying attention (I know, we are not the best examples)! Spence and I were DEAD by 8:30 - I think we might be older than we think we are... Sadly, Kendalyn was always in the opposite location of the camera - so there are NONE of her, but she was there and LOVED it - enjoy the pics!!

The FAM

Au Revoir

The cast is GONE!! We finally got it off last Friday and it has been a blissful week without that retched thing! The sock thing REALLY helped though - it was just starting to smell and it had been on the same amount of time as the first one - I was so PROUD:) He was so cute about getting it off and getting the x-rays again. He is really still and just stares at everything going on. He was just happy to get his sticker and sucker - whatever it takes I guess! Kendalyn was our photographer - she really is quite good I think. Hopefully that will be it for us and casts - I am crossing my fingers!!!

Dancing Queen

Little Miss Adri had her spring Dance Recital last night and it couldn't have been more CUTE!! She LOVES dancing and that is precisely the reason I put her in dance - she can carry quite a beat. Hairspray and High School Musical are BLASTED out of her little CD player CONSTANTLY and she happily dances along (Grady does too and I really need to get it on video camera)!! This year, instead of dragging my cute little grandma to the crowded recital, we took her to the dress rehearsal along with Grady and Spence. It took us all of 20 minutes and we were off. SUCH a great idea because the actual recital of course, was slammed with crazy parents who save seats 3 hours prior to the event and then the rest of us chums sit in the back - but it was just me and Kendalyn so it turned out perfect. Her song was "This Will Be" - the one from the Parent Trap with Lyndsey Lohan - remember??? It was so SWEET - Good Job ADRI!!!




With her friends Azelynn and Haley - they are SO CUTE together!!!

Kendalyn's Piano Recital

Cute Kendalyn



This year, Kendalyn has been taking group piano lessons and I can't believe all the stuff she has learned. Amy (our Musikgarten teacher) has taught them in such a different way than I learned, so it has been so interesting to see what Kendalyn can do and with only one year behind her. She teaches them to listen to the song, use a do-re-mi pattern, sing it, and then play it. Kendalyn can play about 20 songs and she can play them in 3 or 4 different keys - which is PURE AMAZING to me. I took lessons for 10 years and I am now learning how to take a song and put it in a different key from my 8-year old - CRAZY!!! She also has learned how to compose, and they had to play an actual song they composed at their recital. Anyway, she has LOVED her lessons and will be moving to private next year - but we are so proud at how well she has learned and how great she is at practicing - hopefully it will stick!!!

Cast UPDATE

So I ended up getting a new cast put on Grady last Friday and it has been SO much better! I really couldn't even pick him up without gagging a little - it was awful. When they took his cast off, they asked if I wanted to keep it and I was shocked! I said there was no WAY that stink was coming BACK into my house - they looked at me like I was kind of weird - but seriously - Adri was gagging too. Since last Friday, we have been so diligent about keeping a sock (one of my ankle ones) on his cast any time he goes outside - hello, GENIUS! I came up with that brilliant idea two weeks too late, but at least it came. He keeps it on really good and doesn't get too bothered only having one set of fingers. I know it might start to stink again, but at least it won't be dirty too - only ONE week left - yahoo!!!
