Dancing In Color

We have had a CRAZY-BUSY summer this year with projects, camping trips, music recitals, T-Ball and coach pitch, and dance. WHEW! Dance season is finally over and the girls did awesome in their recital. This year's theme was Dancing In Color. The twins color was Yellow and they did a tap routine to The Yellow Rose of Texas and a ballet routine to You Are My Sunshine. Abigail's color was Green and she did a ballet routine to Greensleeves, a tap routine to The Green Grass Grows All Around, and a jazz routine to Get Your Sparkle On. Unfortunately, with seven costume changes between the three girls, I only got pictures of the girls in their ballet costumes. I have decided that I am going to need a personal assistant if we keep this Dance thing up much longer and I think we will cause the girls LOVE it. The girls all did very well in the recital, but I am definatley most impressed with Abigail. She has improved by leaps and bounds (no pun intended) this year. She was front and center in all of her dances and I could tell that she was one of the leaders in her class. She will be moving up a level next year and I look forward to seeing her challenged that way.

Elizabeth is usually a bit shy when it comes to dance, but she was a little fire-cracker on recital day and Emily wasn't sure how to handle it.

Emily decided that she needed to wear her cow girl boots before her performance to get in "cow girl" mode for the Yellow Rose of Texas.

Such a fierce face Liz. You get 'em.

Abigail is a high energy 10 year old. She is Fifth grade for the 2014-2015 school year and she is very much a people person. She loves swimming, shopping, crafts and cooking, but her most favorite thing is dance. She has also really been working hard on her tumbling over the past year or so. Abigail loves playing the piano and singing as well. Abigail has developed an interest in pageants, we will have to see where that interest takes her in the future. She is a bit of a neat freak, really good at doing household chores, and is VERY Squemish. Abigail is the best big sister and is a great example to her three younger siblings

Emily is 7 now and loves to play with her sisters and other kids. She is in first grade for the 2014-2015 school-year. She is confident, outgoing, and likes to be in charge. She is very sweet and loving and fun to talk to. She can be pretty silly at times and when she starts giggling there is no stopping her. She loves to talk and makes our hearts melt when she looks at us with those big hazel eyes. Emily is a people-pleaser and loves compliments. She has really grown to love dance and cheerleading this past year and it is very apparent that Abigail is her role model. Emily is our resident girly girl; she loves everything pink, glittery, and posh! She loves to help out around the house and thrives on praise. She is a good girl and we love her very much.

Elizabeth is 7 as well. She is full of charisma and is very spunky. Sugar and Spice is what makes up Elizabeth's personality. She is a great snuggler and cuddler, but has a mischievous streak and you can tell when she is up to something by the twinkle in her eye. She is sometimes cautious and unsure about herself, but a very deep thinker. She has an analytic brain and is our resident tom boy. She loves jeans, t-shirts, baseball caps, and monster trucks. Her favorite pass time is spent playing soccer or basketball. She has also started gymnastics this year and she is a natural. She is very strong for her size and extremely coordinated. She loves to give hugs and kisses, but if you cross her, you may regret it. Elizabeth never hesitates to express herself when it comes to people she feels comfortable with. Elizabeth loves to laugh and has a great sense of humor. She is pretty darn funny. She can make almost anything turn into a joke.
