Live, Love, and Dance

During our Memorial Day Weekend we went to a beautiful wedding in Hot Springs and then came back to gear up for our hectic week!
On Tuesday June 1st, we headed out after work with Adelyn to catch the free WMT Shareholder's Concert here in Fayetteville at Budd Walton Arena. Zac Brown Band or as Adelyn likes to call them, Chicken Fry, played. She was in awe and was singing each of the songs word for word. It was so fun to take her to her first concert. I am sure when she is 13, she won't think it's very cool to be there with her parents...
Then Saturday was the BIG DAY. Adelyn's First Dance Recital! Can you tell that I am still a little excited? Adelyn performed her Ballet number first and had so much joy in her face twirling and even singing her princess dance. Then for her tap routine, she shook her hips to "All the Single Ladies" and of course sung her little heart out while she tried to punch it like Beyonce. By the way, this was the Chippettes version not Beyonce... ha ha! We were all so proud and she was so excited to get flowers and candy afterwards.... Phew! Now that Dance and gymnastics are over, I can focus on my tennis skills this summer!

Primped and Ready to Go!

Wow! I have a lot of catching up to do on this blog! So Memorial Day and June have been little "Crazy"! The week before Memorial Day Weekend, Adelyn had her dance pictures taken. We primped and curled our hair over at our Best Friend Brooklyn's house where Aunt Mer was our stylist. No, this is not a preview episode of Toddlers and Tiaras... I can't even imagine how those little girls can tolerate wearing all that makeup and hair pieces... yikes! Then the girls took pics outside and then off to the studio for a dress rehearsal. It was fun and I have to say they were very good sports! Of course, when Fancy Nancy is your hero... of course they would be patient when getting all primped!
