Little Ballerina

 

The morning before the monster truck show, Emery had her first dance class!  We needed some girlie girl stuff to offset all of the monster truck craziness! 

She was SOOOO excited! 

Working on her plie…..

Emery and her friend Presley.  They are in preschool together, so it worked out perfectly!  Presley showed Emery the ropes during the first class.  Too cute.

Her first recital is in May.  They are doing a tap routine to Hello Dolly!  We’ve had 2 classes so far and she is really loving it!

**Sorry for the picture quality.  I was taking pictures through the glass.

Monster Jam

 

Many months ago, Pete promised Gavin that if he would stop having accidents in his underwear, we would go see REAL monster trucks.  So finally, Monster Jam came to town and off we went!

It was our first time to Jerry World (aka: Cowboy Stadium).  When we pulled into the $25 parking lot, the attendant actually said “25 for Jerry”.  HA!  They don’t even try to hide how money hungry  he is (just my humble opinion). 

Nonetheless, the kids were so excited to see the HUGE building that the monster trucks would be in!

Starting our long walk to the stadium.  What?  You thought a $25 parking spot should be within a mile of the gate?  No such luck.

Finally made it!  I must admit, it is a pretty cool place.

Gravedigger…..Gavin’s favorite.

Monster Mutt…..Emery’s favorite.

And now for picture overload!

Bye-Bye Jerry World!

The long walk back to the car…..notice the souvenir pillow trucks under their arms? 

Thanks to my mom for keeping Ethan, so that we could make this a “big kid outing”!  My Stepdad and his grandson, Chance, also came with us.   We love Monster Trucks!
