Dance

Last Friday the girls started there dance class. They are taking a combo class with ballet, tap and jazz and they LOVE it.

This is there class, Maisy is in the front and Maddie and Ella are in the back row. There friends Sam and Haile are in the class with them too.

Maddie practicing using her tap shoes

Maisy was a little shy and I think she was the most excited to wear her ballet clothes

Misc. Maisy

We have had a fun summer now that it's finally here. Here are some miscellaneous pictures of Maisy.

Today Maisy is 3!

At 12:08 this morning Maisy turned 3. Grandpa brought her donuts for breakfast, we took her to the park to ride her new bike, we had a picnic and went to Smallwoods to look at the farm animals and play on the toys.

These are just some random pictures of the many moods of Maisy.

Happy to be running!

Happy to be tall enough to ride on the "Awesome" Blossom rides Apple blossom)
Feeling pensive

Feeling unhappy

Looking sweet

Maisy

Maisy found a clever way to hold her blankets and stuffed animals and still be hands free. (also, she didn't get hurt when she fell off the bed)

Maisy's ABC's

The Farm

We went to my friend Katrina's house and farm today. My girls are a little unsure of all the animals. They're cute cause they want to like it but they are just not so sure. I think I'm to blame, I don't really like barn animals so much (or at all).

This turkey walked up to Maddie and instead of screaming or crying she just covered her eyes.

Maisy liked riding the little tractor with Sam and Michael

4th of July Weekend!

Grandpa Marc brought his boat up on Friday and we spent the day at Beebe Bridge with the other Jones', Grandpa Marc and Tammy.

Ella tubed with her dad and Uncle Chris (I'll put the video on soon)

Maddie drove the boat with grandpa, she tubed too!

For the fireworks we went to Walla Walla park. The girls had fun. Well, Maddie didn't, she kept saying "I wanna go home now"

Maisy

These are just some cute pictures of Maisy.

They got the hang of presents

Misc. Pictures

Since my computer's video card blew (mysterious spill) I lost my pictures except for the ones on my camera. So here are the ones I have.

And Then There Was Maisy

Happy Birthday number 2 Maisy Olivia. We love ALL that personality she has, even the strong willed part. :)

Bedtime story

This is Ella "reading" a bedtime story to Maisy. (You might need to turn up the volume to hear)

Umm...

This is Maisy's new thing. She comes up to us with her arms folded and says "umm..." and a bunch of other things we don't understand.

Miscellaneous Maisy PIctures

Easter

We had a fun Easter at our house this year.

We have a great yard for photos if we could get our kids to look at the camera, hold still,

and stay out of the dirt

Here's Maisy, Ella, Madelyn on the swing.

Ella, she has the idea of posing for the camera
