Lainey's Dance Team

2016-2017 Minis at Dance Industry

Ha! Such unique personalities within this group. We're thankful for good friendships and lasting memories...these kids are literally growing up together. 

October is a BUSY month!

I've just decided that all months are busy. October may be one of the busiest! Along with December and May...

A funny note from a girl in Walker's class: "Dear Walker. You have love in your heart. Oh yeah. You are very kind." Ha! (I discovered this in his backpack one day!)

Lainey wrote about how she is working hard on her alignment in ballet class. :) 

fun at our elementary school's Fall Festival a couple of weekends ago

Water beads...so wonderful!

Walker received the game ball at his baseball game. He was SO proud. He's really grown a lot as a baseball player, thanks to very patient and committed coaches! 

Walker's little football team, about to run through their banner last weekend.

Walker's team is currently in first place! That's crazy!

Every year, there's a Big/Little Reveal Party for the dancers at Lainey's studio. This year, the big sisters/brothers hid in boxes that they decorated for the event. So cute and such a fun surprise!

Before the surprise...the littles had to find the box with their names it!

Anticipating...with leftover makeup from the morning's hair and makeup class.

I thought this minion box was funny!

  

She was so nervous!

Lainey wouldn't get near her box!

Look at that JOY on her face! She was so excited to discover that her Big Sis was Leah!

so sweet

Graduating Seniors and their littles! Lainey has a blue mouth from her blue-raspberry-flavored Italian Ice. ;) 

Lainey, Faith, and Morgan at the pumpkin patch this past Sunday! :) 

Lainey's Deep Thoughts

During church, Lainey wrote out some thoughts. 

This one is my favorite. :) 

Walker on the Football Field

Some great action shots... (I didn't take them!)

trying his HARDEST

Squirrels...

Most likely this is a male squirrel, just lounging on the roof. :) 

Click here for why I think this is the case. :) 

Homecoming...for First Graders

Only in Texas. 

Walker and his football team along with the 'Honey Bears'...their cheerleaders. It is Homecoming week. Therefore, the boys gave the girls mums (made by our team mom...thankfully I didn't have to make one) and the girls gave the boys a cookie as well as a beanie with the Chicago Bears logo on it (because Walker's team is called the Bears).

Walker and his Honey Bear! Too funny. He stood about a foot away from her. All of the other boys stood right next to their "date"! Walker, I'm proud of you for respecting boundaries. ;)

Walker's Baseball Season

I'm covering all of Walker's sports lately. :) Lainey will have her turn soon!

When Walker is nervous or anxious, he fiddles with his hands. :)

in the field

This is just cute...little Brady girl talking to Brody (right) and her brother Knox (left). 

And this is just funny! Brody is absolutely using his body language to yell at his father (the coach). :) Ha! (And that's Walker in the background!)

I think Brody is dancing to the music blaring from the ice cream truck.
