Dance recital 2012 and summer fun

Kate had her ballet recital last weekend.  The production was beautiful.  It was peter pan, and she got to be a fairy.  She has really grown so much since when she first started ballet.  She has grown into such a  beautiful mature girl.  I always feel so blessed to have such a close relationship with her.  I hope we can always be really great friends. 

Also the kids had quite the successful lemonade stand.  Kate made one with a few neighborhood kids.  Here is a picture of Jence eating his first Popsicle.  He loved it!

Mom's and Muffins, and girls night out!

Here we are on our girls night out.  We ate at the Brick Oven, it was yummy!
 I took this picture with my phone, it doesn't take great pictures.  But I always forget my camera.

Kate is the one in the middle with the purple shirt.  The class did a darling song for all of the Mom's on Moms and muffin's day!

Kate and I had a lot of fun this last weekend.  Dan took the two older boys on a father's son campout.  They enjoyed it so much.  The boys had a blast.  Kirk and Benjamin had been looking forward to the campout for weeks.  Kate, and baby, and me were left at home by ourselves.  We decided to make it a girls night out.  First Kate invited a few friends to go swimming.  It was the last day of school, and a pool party seemed like the perfect way to to kick off the summer.  Then we got home from swimming we got ready for dinner.  We ate out at the brick oven it was really good.  Then I did some shopping at Down East.  Kate was really patient with my shopping, we did get her a new backpack for school which she was excited about.  Then we came back to watch enchanted.  We were going to do pedicures, but Kate fell asleep during the movie.  I think all that sun, and swimming,  and shopping wore her out.  It was a fun night.  I think the ward should do more father son's campouts!
