ASHLEY'S 13TH BIRTHDAY-JUNE 18, 2009
Ashley is officially a "teenager". Jeff and I can't believe how fast these past 13 years have flown by. She is such a beautiful, kind and talented girl. I felt bad for her on her birthday because she had a terrible cold. That didn't stop her from trying to have fun. She had blueberry french toast for breakfast and dinner at Oishi Sushi, her two favorites! She was also VERY happy to have her best friend from Arizona here to celebrate! Having good friends is THE best! Happy 13th, sweetheart!
We love you, Ashley!!!

This year I had 12 students participate in my piano recital. I decided to have a little bit more fun and go with a movie theme for each of their pieces. I don't know who was more proud, me or their parents! They all did an amazing job! I'm sad to cut back next year, but I'm lucky to be able to continue teaching a few...

Here are a couple of pictures of preschool graduation. All the children in my class had such a good time. They performed all their favorite songs for their parents and were presented their journals and a few other momentos to look back on. I had such a fun year with each of these kids! I loved to see their enthusiasm and excitement each day as they would interact and learn! I can't wait for next year!
AYLEXIE'S SPRING SHOW-MAY 8 & 9, 2009
Aylexie was so excited for the spring show this year. She auditioned and was chosen to dance a pas de deux as a bluebird in Sleeping Beauty. She had MANY rehearsals and still kept smiling! Grandma Feely, Aunt Jill, Sabrina and Heidi came all the way from Everett to watch her perform. We also had many friends come and watch from Vancouver. Jen and Logann came to the evening performance and Logann was thrilled! Aylexie did such a beautiful job! I was able to work backstage during her first performance. I asked her if she was nervous, she said, "no" and kept smiling. She LOVES ballet. My friend, Jennifer came and took these beautiful pictures to capture some memories...
Here she is at the end of her performance. I would give ANYTHING to have such long beautiful legs!!!
