4th of July!

To be honest I can't remember what we did for the 4th of July. But looking back on these pictures sure puts a smile on my face. I love my family. They bring me so much joy and happiness. What we did or didn't do doesn't matter but its the wonderful relationships we have and the love we share that do. 

The Circus!

Shortly after the performance we went to the Ringling Bros. and Barnum Bailey Circus Xtreme! We went with Derek's Uncle Troy and Aunt Teri and their family. It was so much fun! Our kids had never been to the circus before.

Sadly his was the only picture we got of the 5 of us. 

Waiting for the show to start watching silly clowns. 

We had a great time. It was so fun watching the kids watch some of the performances. They totally got into it. Zoe loved the tigers the most. The tight rope watchers were incredible and the poodles were hilarious. Overall the whole show was great! So glad we went.

Kids Summer Performance

Way back in June we signed all 3 of the kids up for a performance class. It was for a couple hours each day for a week. They learned songs, choreography, and simple speaking parts for a Mary Poppins performance that they performed at the end of the week. I had to really persuade Chase to sign up but in the end he loved it.

Getting ready to start! 

These kids were so great! I love watching them try new things and gain new interests. Zoe had already done a couple performance classes and enjoyed having her siblings with her this time.
