Sugar Plum Fairy Dance Camp

Bella along with her friends, Ella, Libby, Fallyn and Emily went to Pink Slipper for their Sugar Plum Fairy dance camp this week.

They all had a ball making a tutu, set of wings, and a wand for their little perfomance at the end of the week. Also coloring, watching a fairy movie, snacks and DANCING!!!

I was quite impressed that in a 4 days, and just 3 hour camp, they were able to do 3 little dances for us!

I have a really cute video to upload...

Symphony at Sunset...

Symphony at Sunset in Lebanon is a tradition we have enjoyed for many years! The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra comes to a park in Lebanon and plays at Sunset!

It was a BEAUTIFUL night and perfect temps to enjoy, dessert, family and music!

Emily's 5th Birthday!!!

HAPPY 5th Birthday,

Emily!!!

Emily had Tangled Tea party at

Serenity Tea Room in Zionsville!

The girls had so much fun learning the proper way to share tea with a Queen, enjoyed a story and many yummy munchies!!!

It was a very fun party for all the Princess!!!

Hard to believe Emily is 5, Bella started going to Miss Jenny's right after her 1st Birthday so Emily and her have been friends for almost 4 years!

Foxes

Bigger and lighter colored fox...

We have a little wild life in our back yard. We have always enjoyed watching the little animals the romp around our backyard in the "city" but the foxes were a new animal.

Smaller more "reddish" color one!!

Tim had seen one a few times around lunch time and then on Saturday they were in our backyard all day long. They were past our fence, so I decided to step out on our deck and see if I could get some pictures. I walked out with Peyton and they just looked at me and continued on. I was surprised that seeing Peyton and I didn't scare them off. They were interesting to watch, not surprising, but had many dog features like scratching their ears and such.

We have seen them many times since.

A Little Kenny...

What a way to start my 12 days off stretch...with some girlfriends and a little bit of Kenny Chesney!!! It was a fun night to say the least... gotta love girlfriends, country boys singing and dancing in the lawn!

Father's Day...

We also were celebrating Father's Day at the free concert a few days early since I have to work on Father's day.

We were 2 of my favorite dads, my day and Tim!!! Tim's dad was in Branson so we plan on celebrating with him next weekend!I am blessed to have a funny, hard working and loving dad!!!

Also to have a husband who is a wonderful father to Bella.

We love you both!!!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!

Free Concert

It was a beautiful evening to enjoy a free concert and Dillion park!

I packed a picnic and we met my parents and enjoyed the evening!

The Flying Toasters was the band performing that night and they were great!

Amy, Scott, Emily and Claire met us there too!

The girls hada blast dancing around all night!

Road Trip...

Wednesday Amy and I packed the car up with our girls and headed north.

We had planned to spend the day at the beach near Valpo but the weather didn't agree with our plans. So we spent the day catching up, eating and lots of playing!

It ending up being just perfect!

Thanks Natalie, for having us all!

(thanks Katerine for the pics I stole off your post...I can't find my camera)

Indians game...

Sunday was an absolutely BEAUTIFUL day to watch a Indians game at Victory Field.

I had organized a family outing with our MOPS group and we had a pretty good turn out and a great day!!!


Yummy Picnic, Fun with Friends, Beautiful day and Indians Win=Great Day!!!

VBS

(this is not the best pictures and doesn't begin to show Bella's excitement for singing songs with all the other tribes, but this is the only one I was able to snap from my phone,since I was helping out with another class)

Every morning last week Bella attended VBS at our church and was in the Reuben tribe. She had so much fun learning bible stories at "Mary's house", doing crafts, singing song about Nazareth and how Jesus was a young boy!!!

I was able to volunteer the last 2 days and had a lot of fun participating with the children!

Strawberry Jam...

The other morning we used the rest of our strawberries we had picked to make Jam!!!

At first Bella wasn't interested so I got started it took about 2 minutes for her to jump in and do it all, pouring, mixing and

Filling the jars!

Taste test: YUMMY!!!

(this is great from a girly who doesn't like jelly on her sandwiches)

Finished Product, Sugar free Strawberry Jam!!!
Super Easy too!!!

Color Me Mine...

So we also had a Color Me Mine Groupon to use and on Sunday we met some girlfriends for lunch and to paint pottery. It took a little while for Bella to decide on what she was painting but decided on the Princess Crown bank. It is a mix of many different shades of blue (her favorite color) with some purple and pink mixed in. It will be fun to see how it turns out!
I think all the girls really enjoyed painting!!

Night with Addie and Eli

Friday night was Angie's end of the year dinner and since Doug was still fishing in Canada we were excited to spend a few hours with Addie and Eli!

We all had soooo much fun playing together, having pizza and watching a movie! Addie and Bella loved playing with each other and Eli was a super baby! I especially loved getting to rock him to sleep...so sweet!!!

Thanks for sharing your sweeties with me for the night!

We had a blast, and hope you did too!

Children's Museum...

Friday I took Wyatt and Bella to the museum. We met Jenny and Emily there too!

We finally saw the Dora and Diego exhibit!

We also checked out the Egypt exhibit that we hadn't done before, the kids had a blast exploring "living" in a new country!

As always the Barbie exhibit is a huge hit! We will miss it when it is gone!!!
