Leah’s Preschool Graduation

Leah is finally graduated from preschool!  Today was her last day and they had a little program for the families.  When we got there, the kids immediately started playing with all of Miss Susan’s fun educational toys.  I wish I had all of that fun stuff at my house!

For the program, the kids sang their favorite songs they had learned this year.  And then Miss Susan presented them with awesome year books she made for each of the kids, filled with pictures, cute poems, and their favorite things about preschool.  Oh, how we love Miss Susan!  The best preschool teacher ever:)

There was a page at the back where the kids could sign each other’s year books.  They loved this.

This was the carpool gang: Leah, Brady Talbot, Dalton Bellows, and Travis Lee.  Leah loved riding home with her cute “friends that are boys” from our ward:)

Well, this girl is definitely ready for kindergarten!  She has grown so much this year in preschool, and I am excited for her to start school and all the adventures that await for her there.  We sure love you, Leah!!

Dance Recital

 

The girls were so excited for their dance recital . . . . especially Leah, since this was her first recital.  Her very first time being on a stage, really.  When we watched Annie’s school dance show (the Peter Pan show) a few weeks ago, Leah asked me, “Is this the same stage our dance recital is going to be on?”  “Yes,” I said, and her eyes immediately lit up. 

The girls took dance from an amazing lady in our ward, Heidi Mills.  She started up her own studio in October, and we were one of the first people to sign up.  The girls love Heidi.  She is so great with the kids and an amazing dancer.  Leah’s class was a ballet and tap combo class, so she had 2 dances in the recital.  Her first one was a cute little dance to “Flight of the Bumblebees.”  She’s on the far left in the picture below.  The girl in the middle looks just like her from the back, but that’s her friend, Jocelyn.

Leah’s second dance was her tap routine.  They were supposed to start out asleep on stage.

There we go:) 

Annie’s ballet routine was a graceful butterfly dance.  Heidi’s mom, who lives in Utah, handmade these beautiful wings, and flew to Reno this morning to bring them to the girls.  And to see the show, I’m sure.   

After all the girls did a little dance for the finale, they presented Miss Heidi with roses and a huge group hug!  Heidi put in so much work for her first dance recital . . . . especially with all the homemade costumes.  But they all looked so cute and the show was awesome!

Happy Father’s Day, Dan!
