WESTLAKE DANCE COMPANY

Courtney has had a dance class at high school.
We went to her school recital.
It was very good!
(On a kind of sad note . . . the Jazz were 25 points
ahead when we left the school.  It was tied when
we pulled into the garage.  We lost by 8.  On a
good note . . . we won game #6 at home!)



Courtney did the first dance after intermission.
"Greetings From The Future"


Courtney's Great Grandma Dixie, Grandma Laurel,
Mom Kim, Sister Camry (5 years younger, and taller), Courtney

TIPTOE THROUGH THE TULIPS . . . TULIP FESTIVAL 2018


ON THURSDAY, APRIL 19, WE WENT
TO THE TULIP FESTIVAL AT 
THANKSGIVING POINT.

THERE WAS MY SISTER-IN-LAW, LAUREL,
AND TWO OF MY FOUR NIECES.
NIECE ASHLEY AND HER SON, RYKER (3),
NIECE HEIDI, AND HER CHILDREN, OAKLEY (7 IN
TWO WEEKS; ALLY, 4; BROOKY, 4; AND JACOB, 2.

WE HAD A HUGE SNOW STORM TWO DAYS AGO!
BUT, WHEN WE WENT,IT WAS AN OVERCAST DAY, SLIGHTLY CHILLY
FOR AWHILE.
WE'RE PROBABLY GOING BACK IN 2 WEEKS, WHEN
THE FLOWERS LOOK BETTER!
(I THINK THE SNOW HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS)


ENTRANCE


AND HERE'S THE OBLIGATORY FAMILY PHOTO

CAN YOU TELL I WAS A LITTLE TOO EXCITED???

CUTIE JACOB AND HIS MOM

THIS WAS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHLIGHT FOR RYKER.
HE LOVES VACUUMS!  ASHLEY HAS A ROBO VACUUM AT
HER HOUSE.  JON GOT IT FOR ASHLEY BEFORE
SHE HAD HER BRAIN SURGERY TO HELP OUT.
WHEN I WENT TO HELP WITH HOMEWORK LAST YEAR,
RYKER, WHO WAS 18 MONTHS OLD AT THE TIME,
WAS SHOWING ME HOW IT WORKED!
THIS IS A ROBO LAWN MOWER.  RYKER NOT ONLY
DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE, HE KEPT WANTING TO GO BACK!


NOT SURE WHY OAKLEY LIKED STICKING
HER TONGUE OUT IN PHOTOS.
MUST BE A 1ST GRADE THING.


JACOB DECIDED HE WAS GOING TO GRADUATE FROM
THE STROLLER TO THE GOLF CART.

THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD



SECRET GARDEN


RYKER LOVES HIS GIRLS.
ALLY (PINK BOW) AND BROOKY.

BALLOONS, BALLS, OR BUBBLES???






OH, MY!
EVERYBODY IS LOOKING AT THE CAMERA!!!



BROOKY MOVED TO THE FRONT WITH JACOB.
CHECK OUT THE CART NUMBER IN THE TULIP!
(ALLY GOT TO RIDE IN THE FRONT ON THE
DIRT HILL TO RETURN THE CART)

RYKER, ALLY, OAKLEY, BROOKY.
THIS WILL BE GORGEOUS IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS!

AFTER THAT, SHE WAS ALWAYS POSING LIKE
THE LITTLE GIRL

4/5 OF THE KIDDOS LOOKING AT THE CAMERA

AND, ANOTHER 4/5 PHOTO

AND JACOB WENT MIA FROM THE PHOTO

AFTER, WE WENT TO LUNCH AT CHIK.FIL.A.
I COULD NOT BELIEVE ALL OF THE TRAFFIC!
ALLY RODE WITH ME, AND WE HAD TO WAIT AT
EACH LIGHT 3 OR 4 TIMES!
PRETTY SURE MY DAD WOULD BE TURNING OVER
IN HIS GRAVE AT ALL OF THE GROWTH IN THE
15 YEARS HE'S BEEN GONE!
