Dancing Queen!

Ever since I was a little girl I wanted to dance ballet! Well I never did, but I knew if I had a girl that one day I would see if she shared my same dream!

So far Annelise LOVES to dance! She was so excited for her second recital in which she was going to be in two numbers. The first was the tap dance, and the second was the ballet. She definitely preferred the tap over the ballet.

We gave her flowers and a little gift bag with a princess crown and a necklace charm.

This was her and her friends running around dancing at rehearsal.

This year was sooooo different from last year. Her confidence in herself has blossomed, and that is what I was hoping for from taking the classes. I hope she wants to dance for many more years to come so I can live my dream through her... no pressure sweetie! besides I have 2 more girls and Julianna's love of music and dancing looks like we might have two little dancers!

The Good Life!

Years ago Juan was pretty surprised to find out I have never been to South Padre Island, so we decided to go there one day . . .

With the new baby on the way we made a decision that this spring was the best chance we were going to get for a good long while!!!

This is the view from the condo balcony. I was very scared of Julianna jumping off the balcony, so we booked the condo on the lowest floor available! I was smart for insisting on this because as soon as we arrived she pushed a chair to the rail for the big jump into the pool!!!

I know what she is thinking!

Oh we had a great time! I was super relaxed since we were in a small two bed room apartment with very little to clean! It made me realize that all the clutter in my house should disappear if I ever want to feel a fraction of that relaxation at my own home!

I also reconfirmed that I really love Mexicans!!! They are by far the most easy going people ever! I felt the same way we lived in El Paso !

The condos were filled with families from Monterrey and I had a chance to chat with some ladies by the pool. Most of the families had 3 or more kids and ALL had nannies with them. So out of curiosity I asked one of my new friends how much they paid for the nanny. My jaw dropped when she said that the nanny lives with them, cooks, cleans and does laundry for $150.00 U.S. a month!!! No wonder they are so laid back!!!

Easter

We live in a pretty awesome neighborhood! Every year since Annelise was one I have had the neighbors over for a little egg hunt in the backyard.

This was two years ago.

This picture was taken at Annelise's school Easter/Spring show. She really sang her heart out!
