Skating & Swimming

 Madi's good friend Lauren had a skating birthday last Sunday afternoon.

 Matt and Lauren's dad like to talk accounting so they visited in between helping the girls skate.

 After the party we went up to Madi's school to help Maisen's mom move classrooms.  She taught Kindergarten next door to the girls but will move to 2nd grade in the fall.

 After moving all her stuff (and the girls running, sliding, chasing down the halls) we went to dinner at BJs.

 We had to take fun pictures outside Red Robin while we waited.

 The Daniels treated us to a yummy dinner for helping.  We love to help them any chance we get!

 Monday

 All clean and beautiful after bath!

 All ready for the pool on Tuesday!

 On your mark, get set,

 JUMP!

 Wednesday is movie day followed by lunch at villa and the pool!

 Thursday was Grandpa Heider's birthday so we had to send him Happy Birthday Wishes!

 Dressed and ready!

 Shelle's kids, Madi, Maisen and Stephanie's daughter Margaret all came up to Tech so Stephanie's students taking Children's Literature could "practice" a read-along on real live kids!

 We had a wide range of ages and interest levels so it was great for the students! 

Maci's face about sums up her engagement level.

 After playing and lunch at CFA we headed to the pool.

 Friday

 There's nothing like a good group of pool friends!

 Madi spent Thursday afternoon at Maisen's house so today Maisen came home with us so her parents could go to dinner and a movie for their anniversary.

We went to Rosa's for dinner then Holly Hops for good old fashion ice cream!

The girls want to take a bubble bath so off I go!

Baby Face!

 Decorating a mug for Father's Day coming up! 

I'm so happy since she could do all the decorating by herself this year!

 We started the summer off by diving off the diving board.

 She dives so fast that I had to take screen shots of the video. 

 She starts off just like she's diving off the block at swim.

 I asked Madi to sort the books we borrowed from Dr. Button so I knew which ones she had already read so I could return them.  I found two stacks and even labels for me.  :)

 Monday - all ready for Camp Aunt Shelle!

 Tuesday - ready with a snack of crackers!

 This is genius!  Madi loves to do her dolls' hair but it gets all messed up and tangled.

 We saw this doll head just for styling and had to get it!

 Wednesday

Dressed ready for the pool so they could go to the movies, eat lunch at Villa then headed to the pool! 

 Here are the movies we'll be seeing this summer.

 Thursday 

 Thursday we skipped the pool so we could get ready for her dance rehearsal! 

 All dressed and ready - but thought her costume made her dress too poofy! 

 Thankfully, on rehearsal night we can arrive and leave in costume as long as she has a coverup on. 

 Backstage was incredibly hot but we managed a few cute pictures of our Baby Face!

 

 Madison & Lauren

 It's call time!

 We haven't practiced as much as I would have liked but she said she knew her dance.

 And boy did she!

 She didn't miss a step in rehearsal and her arm placements were great!

 All done!

 Friday

She looks more like 16 than 6 in this picture.  :(

 Recital time! 

 All lined up and waiting to go! 

 Grandma Heider, Aunt Erin, Uncle Rod, Grandma and Grandpa Mayberry all came to watch her dance! 

Flowers for his best girl!

 Cooling off after the show at home!

 She wanted to take a silly picture too!

 Daddy put a flower in her hair!

 Saturday morning we had breakfast with Aunt Erin and Grandma then headed to a nursery to pick out plants for Grandma and Grandpa's patio.

  I'm not sure how much help Madison was but she sure had fun collecting flowers that had fallen on the floor.

 With the dance recital behind us, I feel like it's really summertime now!
