Dancing and Bites

First- Audrey had her 1st ballet and tap lesson on Monday. She really enjoyed it. She said she wants to go back and keeps doing ballet turns in the house so we'll see how the next 5 weeks go.

Second- Audrey got bit by another child at VBS on Monday. It left a full set of teeth marks in her skin and bruised her. She was very calm and about it when she tells the story though. It seemed like no big deal to her. I think my mom, Scott and I were much more freaked about it then she was. She did cry and they put ice on it at school but she never said anything else about it. I guess it happens when a lot of kids are around. At least she didn't seem to care and went back to VBS today so that was nice.

I'll get pictures of ballet and tap class on here soon as I get can. The air at the house is still not fixed and therefore I cannot get to my laptop right now to download pictures. Soon hopefully.

I also got Audrey's birthday party booked today at Pump It Up. She is very excited. This will actually be her 1st friends party. Until now we have always only done family for her birthday so this year we will experience inviting friends.

Hey Mister...

I thought it would be fun to capture some of the funny sayings Audrey has right now.

We went to eat w/ my mom and dad the other night and my dad ordered a milkshake. Audrey started 'sharing' with him. She was drinking so fast that my dad said 'your head is going to fall in'. She just laughed and moved on. Later when no one else was listening and my dad was drinking the milkshake she leaned over and whispered "hey mister, your head is going to fall in".

She calls everyone mister (we have no idea why) and she says it in a deep voice. She also says 'Oh Mercy' and we have no idea where she got that one either.

That's all I can think of right now. I'm sure there are many others but they are so hard to remember them all.

Right now our air condition is out at the house so we have been staying w/ my parents until it is fixed (hopefully Monday). I went over one night last week to see if it was any cooler in the house so we could stay there but it wasn't. Audrey called my parents to tell them we would need to stay with them and she said "We need to come live with you!". It is quite funny how they mix up words sometimes.

Other than no air we are all doing fine. Scott had to work til 4 am this morning because of the weather in Memphis and Atlanta so he is pretty tired. Audrey has finished t-ball and starts tap and ballet class on Monday for 6-weeks. If she likes it we might sign up for a fall class too. She has started swimming lessons and seems to be ok with them. They are private lessons and she floated on her back last week (with help) and was excited about that so hopefully she'll at least be less afraid of the water before we go on vacation. We leave on vacation in 2 weeks!!! We are so excited for a week off.

May was busy busy busy

We are still here. May was very busy for us. I started out the month by attending the ASPIRE celebration that I was awarded w/ a few months ago by work w/ 400 other co-workers in Walt Disney World. It was AMAZING! They treated us all like VIPs. We got gifts in our room every night, breakfast on the marina every morning. The 1st evening dinner was on a private beach and was beautiful then we got special seats for the Epcot firework show. We did an awesome teambuilding exercise where we built kids bike that were then donated to a local Orlando charity. We got to see cirque du soleil and it was AWESOME. We have private buses to the parks in the afternoon. I was exhausted and not ready to come home even though I missed Scott & Audrey very much. I could have stayed another week w/ that VIP experience. Disney will never be the same after that. A few pics below but I have a ton more. We celebrated my mother-in-law, scott, mine, my brother and my nieces birthdays in May. Audrey has still been playing t-ball. She has one game left. She is doing better hitting mostly w/o the tee. She does get bored in the field some and sits down to play in the dirt.

Audrey is growing up before our eyes. She wants to do more things for herself lately which means she doesn't need me as much and that is sad but I'm mostly happy for her and her independence. We have her busy for the summer. Something everyday but Fridays and the weekend. Dance, Mother's Day Out, Swim Lessons, and Tumbling will keep her busy this summer. We leave for vacation in about 4 weeks and we are super excited.

I'll try to post sooner!

Playing in the dirt
Hollywood Studios Dinner: The park was closed to just us w/ Rock'n Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror open to us for unlimited rides- It was awesome!
We had dinner one night at Living Seas in Epcot and Mickey swam from somewhere inside the tank to great us! It was very cool.

This is what greeted us when we arrived the very 1st day for our lunch!
