Trip to Pennsylvania

So we have been back from our trip for a week now, and I am just posting about it. Something happened to our pictures and I can not access them, Jay is working on it. We had a great time. Aurora got to meet my Oma, who called her self Tic Tac Oma (my mom said clocks say tic tac not tick tock, and great oma is something in germany like hour grandma. So she figured Tic Tac Oma was easier for the kids to say.) Aurora also got to hang out with her cousins who live in Omaha. They hit it off right away and had so much fun. My mom bought Aurora a pony, even let her pick it out. Her name is Tinker Bell, she is so sweet and cute. Aurora was a able to ride her with and without a saddle. We got her from an Amish farmer, and his boys always rode her without. We aslo got a pony cart with her and Oma gave all the kids rides in the cart. Here is a picture of Tinker Bell hitched to the cart with the kids in it ready for a ride. (I "stole" these pics off my sis-in-laws blog. Thanks Melissa. When we get ours working I will post more pictures)

We also got to go to Hershey Park. It was a lot of fun, and it did smell a little like chocolate. Here is Aurora and me on one of the rides, and you can see Opa and Makenna behind us.

Here is a picture of the three girls in dresses that I made for them. The girls are so cute, aren't they.

Here is a picture at a farmers market. From left to right it is: Breille (the little one by the stroller), Tic Tac Oma, Oma, Makenna, Aurora, Brayden, and Melissa. Kevin and I were both taking pictures of them.

Thanks again Mom and Dad for having us. We really had a great time. Hopefully Jay will be able to get the other pictures working and I will be able to post them.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day!! Here is Aurora's song about her daddy.

Aurora's final dance performance

Aurora had her final performance today. It was at the Del Mar Fair. There were only 4 girls on stage (a fifth was there but she would not go near the stage). Aurora was great, and she had so much fun. She loves to be on stage in front of people. Here is a picture of her and her teachers, and one with her sitting with some other performers waiting for her turn.

Enjoy the videos. It is the same dances as last time, but I think she did better. Last time thought he performance in genral looked better because there were more girls.

Here is Aurora and Sissa after the performance.

After she was done we walked around a little and Aurora won a tadpole and Sissa won her a goldfish. The tadpole's name is Taddy and the goldfish is Beauty. Now Aurora has pets.

Aurora's first dance recital

Aurora had her first dance recital last Saturday. She had so much fun. Here are the videos from it.

Helping Daddy

A couple of weeks ago we got a new storage unit for our dvds. Jay was putting it together and Aurora got her hammer so she could help. She did a very good job.
