The Dancing Queen

This was Laeni's first year of dance and she loved it - she was also one of the best dancers in her group...and I'm not just saying that cause I'm her mom.  At one rehearsal, her teacher even stopped all the girls and asked why no one was listening or paying attention - with the exception of Laeni.  I was so proud of her.  She watched her teacher like a hawk and learned her dances like a pro.  Here are a few pics of the parades and talent show they were in.  Enjoy!

No pom poms yet.

Waiting on the trailer for her 1st performance :)

The Kindergarten Kid

Tori started kindergarten this year.  This will be her 3rd week and she's still lovin' it!  Here are some pics of the 1st day.  She woke us up about 7-ish to see if it was time to go to school yet.

Starting the day off right with breakfast :) 

She had her outfit picked out weeks before.

Could's get a photo of all the kids since Laeni was still snoozing away :)  But here is Tori and Sora.

SO excited for kindergarten.  She colored her own Kindergarten "K" sign.

In the truck waiting for dad so the 3 of us could go on the 1st day.  She was pretty insistent that we have Grandma Shirley come down to watch the other girls so we could both go with her.  Grandma was such a good sport that she came down to tend. 

I am as excited for Kindergarten as Tori is I think - her teacher has a camping theme in the class.  The bathroom is the "outhouse" and the drinking fountain is the "watering hole."  It's perfect!  Mrs. Pennington even has a guitar that is by the rug for songs!  How awesome is that?  I wanna go back to kindergarten and sit on the rug and sing songs and take a drink from the watering hole!  Here is Tori by her chair...

And see the tent?  The class ranger gets to sit in that and read stories!
Such a fun time!  I have already signed up to help with the Halloween party!  I wonder what my costume will be....
