All Derrick!!

Here's our boy!! He's getting so big and is starting to imitate everything people do, especially things that Emma does!! The first picture is of him "hiding" under a kitchen chair playing with one of Emma's crowns! The next 2 are the classic "kid asleep in the high chair"! Emma never did that and this is the first time Derrick has done it! I was getting ready while the kids were eating lunch and came out to check on them and Emma whispered, "Mom, SHHH!! Derrick is sleeping!" Poor tired guy! At least he finished his lunch before he fell asleep! He has also discovered baby dolls! Boys can play with dolls right?!

Dance Camp!

The time was finally here for Emma to go to Dance Camp! She has been asking for weeks when she could go! She was so excited and had a lot of fun! Each class was 1 1/2 hours and her class only had 3 girls in it, so they got a lot of individual attention! The camp theme was "Adventures in Fairytales". Each day was a different themed class and they colored pictures or made crafts to go along with the theme! She starts her regular classes August 1st. I know now that she will love it!!

Pinocchio!

The first day of camp was Pinoccio day! They were dressed as puppets! I am really suprised that Emma wasn't scared of the "strings"! She is a little strange about stuff like that! :) She had fun, but really didn't get any of the dance! But, it was her very first time! Hopefully she will improve with regular classes!!

Pocahontas!

The second day was Pocahontas Day! It was so cute, they had little canoes that were part of the dance to "Just Around the Riverbend"! She did the best this day as far as picking up the dance moves and doing what she was suppose to be doing! Notice her tongue hanging out of her mouth...her signature move! Jon and I keep trying to tell her to keep it in her mouth and just smile! Oh well!

Princess Jasmine!

This day they did a dance to "Friend Like Me" from Aladdin! The costumes were all way too big for Emma so she kept pulling the pants up and taking off the vest and veil! She was kind of zoning through the dance, but still had fun!

Puppy Dogs!

The last day of dance was puppy dog day! The one day that Emma could actually dance with her tongue hanging out of her mouth and it was ok!

Happy 4th of July!!

Here are some pictures from the 4th! We had a pretty fun day! Emma was excited to go see firetrucks (fireworks!)!! We painted her toes (Aunt Annie should be proud!) and went over to cousins house and had dinner then went to a park to try and see the Gilbert show! Unfortunately, there were giant trees blocking the way of the show! I finally put Emma on the very top of Jami and Crystal's HUGE truck and then she could see! You can see by her expression...she LOVED it!!

Princess Derrick!

Derrick learned how to put a crown on all by himself! I went into the bedroom to check on the kids the other day and there was Derrick in all his princess glory! The next picture is of him at Jami and Crystal 's house. He climbed into the toy basket and then couldn't figure out how to get out! He wasn't too happy! Then I thought I should put a more "manly" picture of my boy up! So the last one is of him getting ready to go swimming! He loves just floating around the pool in his little float tube! He's getting big and is starting to say more words and sing and dance and pretty much do whatever his sister does! :)
