Our Mini Builders

This morning was so much fun as we headed to Lowe's to build Monster Trucks.
Garrett has taken the bigs before but this was a first for Mommy & Lukey.
There was much excitement and anticipation.
All was going so well as Daddy helped Lukey while Mommy took pictures and helped the bigs with the occasional nail as they could "do it without help!" :-)

Lukey LOVED being able to build.
 Eli had a blast and let me help start the nails on the wheels and help with stickers :-)

Our poor little Alli was doing so great until she hit her finger with a hammer and got a blood blister.  Apparently she has her Mommy's queasiness when it comes to that as she lost all color in her face, was dizzy and felt like she was going to be sick ~ poor thing spent the rest of the build on the ground and even laid down for a bit when we got home.  I was so similar when I got a blood blister (also 8 years old!)
She couldn't even muster a smile for the final picture.  
I have to chuckle that this really was the best we could do for a picture of all three ;-)
Luckily, the rest of day went much better for Alli and all three little fish enjoyed a sunny afternoon of playing outside with friends.  All three are excited for their next build in two weeks!

What Does the Fox Say???

Tonight, Alli and 12 of her buddies performed a dance routine to the song "What Does the Fox Say?" at their school's talent show.  Seriously, it was the Cutest.Thing.Ever.

It doesn't get much more adorable than this sweet elephant!
She loved having her face painted and posing with one of her second grade teachers, Mrs. Tarr.



It was such a fun evening for the whole family and we LOVED seeing all of the kiddos performing!
What a blessing that both of Alli's teachers and their husbands attended the show to cheer on their second grade performers.  One of Alli's classmates did a kick boxing demonstration with her dad.  The boys thought that and the sword fighting routine were the BEST, next to Alli's performance of course.  Lukey also loved the Frozen routine to "The Frozen Heart" done by some 4th grade girls, he turned to me with a huge smile and said, "that's my very favorite song!" Yes, yes it is :-)

We had so much fun seeing our precious girl on stage and we are looking forward to many more years of entertaining talent shows!!!
