Dancing with the cuties!

We came straight from the airport from being in hot AZ into the cool and rainy Utah, right to a dance recital starring our 5 cute granddaughters. They all did so great!
Jenna is the most experienced dancer and did awesome! This is the costume from Cruella Deville
Nicole was also awesome in both of her dances. She has been taking dance for several years now as well
Lucy was new to all this and was also very impressive. She had taken 2 classes, so she had to memorize 4 dances and did so great.
Averie didn't enjoy dancing as much as we all thought she would--who would have thought, right, but she still did great in both of her dances. I hope she will try it at least another year

Addie loved her dancing and especially loved getting makeup on. She was fun to watch and did great. 
Sisters:


There were 34 dances and 12 of the dances had our cute granddaughters in them. Made the night go much faster. We are very proud of them!

Baby Fix

Got to go to WARM AZ for a week and meet our newest grandson. How fun it was. He is so adorable and tiny and what a sweet natured baby.
Kim didn't look like she had even been pregnant and kept up her busy pace with errands, straightening up, laundry, homework, taking care of her newborn and fixing dinner.I had the easy job of playing games with the kids and holding the baby.
It was really good to get to be with the other 4 and get to know them better and see their personalities.
Kylie is such a sweetheart. She is so responsible and will see things and help out anyway she can. She always steps in to help when someone is sad.
Tyler is such a joy too. He also wanted to help and teach. He is so smart and an excellent reader.
James is so good on video games and wanted grandma to play. When I told him I didn't know how, he would teach me. (I still "died" every time). He is a good big brother to Bennie Boo. He really, really hated pictures and wouldn't let grandma take any of him!
Little Ben is so cute and has the personality to match. He has this impish grin that can melt your heart. He also has a tender heart and is great at giving hugs
The family seems to be adjusting well and they all love their newest brother. Kim is so organized she wanted to get pictures done so we went to the park. Kim promised she would let them stay and play if they were good for pictures, so she got some good ones. Daniel had to keep chasing James to get him back in. He is at that stage where he hates pictures.
Thanks Kim and Daniel for a great week and taking care of us--should have been the other way around. You have a beautiful family!
