Tasty Truffles & Pastry Chefs

The girls had their recital yesterday and they were both just cute as can be. Really want to bow out of Ballet for next year. But the recital is "how they get'cha!" They were precious.

Welcome to the CandyLand Express (theme for the ballet). I was able to record their Dress Rehearsal... Lexi is a little harder to see... :(

Meet the Pastry Chef's



Meet the "Tasty Truffles" LOOK MIDDLE BACK ROW





We are at a Classical Ballet place and for the younger girls they have the rehearsal and recital all in the same day. Anyway, in between, they play and hang out... Here they are with a friend from school. They had a good day playing and dancing....

So, the Terminix guy had to give her mom advice and it was trim the back part of the shrubbery because insects can get in there and live and spraying makes them multiply.

#2 The broken violin

Once upon a time there was a girl named Ainsley and her brother named Anderson [Lexi, we're leaving, let's go!] ....

[Mom] Buddy, you have a big ship in the playroom.
[Anders] Oh yeah.


[Anders] Can I watch a Pirate Show? Are there any more Pirate shows?

[Anders] Mom, I'm going to hunt Pirates and Monsters.


[Anders] Mom, why don't I have a dubdope like a Pirate?
[Mom] You broke it.
[Anders] Oh yeah. Why don't I have another one?


[Anders] Mom, I like cannon balls. Why don't I have any?
