Ballet, Babies and Bees.

*Ballet

Abby had her Ballet Recital with Clytie Adams School of Ballet last week. She always loves the performances the best (of anything) and had begged to sign up for ballet next year. I love the graceful attitude and technique they have taught her the past FOUR (wow) years, and will keep her there until she is too busy. I love the values, manners and etiquette ballet teaches her as well...Heaven know she doesn't get any of that at home.

Abby's dance was the Salt Flat Racers this year, and she was excited to be a Race Car Driver, because her Grandpa loves them. It was cute...

Blair and I completely slacked in the post recital gift - giving department. Some girls had dozens of roses...well, mine had some wheat thins and easy cheese from our local 7-11.

She was happy.

*Babies

While Nikki and Curt watched Taylor perform in her very first dance recital, Abby and I got to watch Cam and Crosby. I say Abby, because she really did all the work. She loves babies, and that hard coating that sometimes covers her cute heart disappears when a baby is around. I love it.

Cam and his mischievous look.

Abby feeding Crosby the bottle that he wouldn't take from me. She dangled a toy in front of his eyes to distract him with one hand, and fed him with the other - for about thirty minutes! I was so happy she figured out how to feed him, or we might have had a really angry baby and mommy by the end of the night.

Look at Cros looking at Ab...

I shall not forget Deak, who is always ready for the camera...

*Bees

The player photographed above is a player who Deak and I got to meet at Shriners one day. In fact we met a whole crew of them, but this particular one (Adam, RF) was really sweet and played catch with Deak for a while. I, on the other hand, was rather depressed that I had chosen that day to not get ready to take my son to therapy. A little advance notice of a team of professional baseball players showing up would've been awesome.

Last night, Blair and I decided last minute to take Ab and her friend, Abby to the Bees Game. Thanks to some free tickets from Blair's work, and a Kids Eat Free Promotion...it was pretty cheap too. But, as Blair pointed out, it would've been a lot cheaper had I not ordered a Hot Dog, Nachos, Large Diet Coke, and five scoops of Ice Cream in a Baseball Hat.

Oops.

It was such a fun and relaxing night. Actually, anything is relaxing when I am not lugging my cute little bundle of eating joy - Deakon. I needed a break, and sitting next to Blair and two cute girls was just what I needed. Sometimes, I feel sad when Deak stays home, but sometimes I don't...this was one of those nights.

This cute friend and Ab have been attached since she has moved in a couple months ago. They play so well together, and I don't have to listen to tattling every five seconds - which is making this Summer VERY enjoyable so far.
