Twice in one week!!! Nobody faint!!!

HAHA... How rare is it that I blog TWICE in one week!?? NEVER! Thought I would share with you how 'proud' of my two beautiful children today though!

Amalyssa graduated preschool!!!! WOOT! I am really excited to see her growing up so much. But it is a bit scary to think that she will officially start public school next year!! YIKES!!! Not so sure I am ready for that step!!! Here are some picts of her during her program and with her 'cap'!

This is her in 'the three little pigs' in her house of straw! Scott just looked at this picture and mentioned that this mask looks SO perfect on her because it TOTALY matches her true smile!!! I was so glad he had said that because I couldn't figure out WHY I liked this picture so much!!!! Now I know!!! It is What she would look like if she had been born one of the three little pigs!! HAHA


She was a sheep during a farm animals song

Here she is with her teacher and her 'all about me' book that they made

And here she is in her cap at home showing off her candy necklace! The necklace had a tag with a 'title' Mrs Laura had given specifically to each child. Amalyssa's was "Love of Capitol Letters" she never writes anything lower case... she just likes the capitols better! lol

And last I would like to show off my brilliant son. Today he made a new recipe all on his own... (TRUST ME... Mom was completely OBLIVIOUS to what he was up to!) The future 'Braden Crocker' Decided he would make a new breakfast soup! We are going to be rich by selling his secret recipe!!! I was thinking I would make you each pay for the recipe with a 10% discount but then I decided... Hey... you are family.... so I will let you have it for free! So without further adieu

Maple Syrup Soup
Take one pre-cut... mostly eaten Eggo waffle in a bowl. Pour in half a bottle of 'Log Cabin' maple syrup.... and VOILA... A sugar high to keep you going through the day!

Prima Ballerina

Well I suppose it is time to blog a bit again. Not to much to say... mostly because it is late at night and my brain has mostly shut down! LOL. Thought I would try something new and do a picture slide show..... it is still uploading my photos though... LOL... maybe they were a bit to big eh??

Well as some of you know Amalyssa is taking a ballet class. She just had her first competition! They were invited to a competition taking place at Lagoon on May 10th. It was optional to go but we decided since we were already shoveling money into this class she might as well have the chance to preform as much as she could! So we took a family day to Lagoon!! Only 2 other girls in her class of 8 came to the competition so there were three of them up on stage in front of maybe a thousand or so people!!! She was pretty scared when we first got there but we had to wait a while for her tams turn and watching all the other dancers got her excited. She was the BEST ballerina up there!! (no prejudice involved of course!!! LOL) She got up on stage and went to ready position and waited like a statue for the music to start... the other two were dancing around and waving and stuff. They all really did a wonderful job and Amalyssa was so excited when she came down off the stage! We got the results this last Wednesday in her dance class. Everyone who participated at Lagoon got a 'national championships' metal. AND she got a 2nd place ribbon!!!! WOOT! Now.... I don't have ANY idea how many teams they were competing against... or how the judging works in that category.... but HEY... it is a 2nd place ribbon!! They also gave out little stuffed elephants with the studio logo on the t-shirt to all the girls. Amalyssa was pretty excited about it!

Here are some picts to show off our little star!
