Graduations, dance recitals, and FUN

What a fun weekend I have had! Friday we left around lunchtime to make the seven hour trip to see my cousin, Anna, graduate and to see her younger sisters perform an Irish step-dance at their recital. They did SOOOOO good. I was impressed, especially by Naomi, my seven year old cousin who was able to dance every bit as well as the teenagers. Sadly, photos were not allowed during the performance so I had to content myself with taking pictures of their stage makeup. I cannot believe Anna is graduated. Time seems to fly by. She sang during the ceremony and I sobbed like a baby. :) Sunday we drove back bringing my grandma with us. She will be staying with us for a few weeks. :)

And we are off.

What I like to call "Happy-belly-squishy-penguins."

Found this song on my iPod. Guess what!  HAPPY MUSIC AND PENGUINS DO MIX AFTER ALL!!!!

Red and green gummy bears.

Mom, please keep your eyes on the road.

Anna sang "Temporary Home" by Carrie Underwood, and I can vouch for the fact that there was not a dry eye in the audience!
