Ballet and Basketball

Last week was such a fun week!!!

MG, Lola and Paige at Ballet class.

MG and Mike in the backyard.

First of all, on Monday Mommy and Daddy came to my ballet class for my recital! Recital is just a fancy word for "the parents get to come in and watch class!" I loved showing them everything I've learned over the past few months. We did our "tap walks" across the floor all by ourselves and I got a little fancy with mine. Watch the movie clip below.

Lady and Poppie met us for dinner after my "recital"- we got to go to my favorite Hamburger joint for a cheeseburger and a chocolate milkshake. They bought me roses..... red roses.....they were beautiful!

Then on Thursday, my Daddy taught me how to shoot a basket! Watch the movie clip below!

I think I am going to be a ballet dancer and a girl basketball player when I grow up! Mommy says I can be ANYTHING I want to be! I asked her if I could be a mommy and that made her have some happy tears!

My Date with Daddy!

My Daddy is the most funnest Daddy in the whole world! We went on a Daddy/Daughter date on Friday night to watch the Dallas Maverick's practice. We ate popcorn and cotton candy!!!!

Daddy wanted to take me to the team shop. I told him "But Daaaaaddddddyyyy, we don't want to miss the GAME!" He drug me away from Dirk and the boys and bought me a new, pink Dallas Mavericks t-shirt. I can't wait to wear it to a REAL LIFE game!

Jake and Mommy had to stay home because this was MY special day with Daddy! (And because Jake's bedtime is 7pm)

I love being a BIG GIRL and staying up late!

Oh The Lord's Been Good To Me

"Oh The Lord's Been Good To Me, and so I thank the Lord.... for giving me, the things I need, the sun and the rain and the apple seed. The Lord's been good to me. " These are the lyrics to my new, favorite song. I sing it multiple times everyday. I sang it before dinner the other night and Lady cried. My mommy said those were happy tears, not sad tears.

Things I Love

I love school! I already knew how to write a "M" and an "A", but today I learned my "Y" and I am EXCITED!!! "R's" are still pretty hard but all in all I can write "MARY" pretty well. (I know you guys are thinking- wow, just learning to write "MARY" but blogging regularly for the past few months- well I'm gifted and typing just comes easier to me!)

I also love Ballet!

And TAP!!!!

I love hanging out with Pheobe and Jake!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my Daddy!

I love my Mommy!

I love the Lord!

Mommy was reading to me from my little pink Bible last night and we were reading about Jesus and John. I said "I know someone named John! Uncle John! He is pretty nice and he believes in Jesus too!"
