my little ballerina

While this was Maclyn's second year of dance, it was the first "real" year because Covid-19 cut her first year short and made the recital one that was just parents in a room. So this year she got to do alllll the things that surround being a dancer and she thoroughly enjoyed it and had friends in her class and made new friends. It was precious watching her this year! And her recital was both adorable and hilarious! My heart still swells when I watch the videos of her up on the stage...even though she really looked lost. Haha!

I took some pictures of her while she was getting her professional pictures made



I absolutely adore the pictures I took while the photographer was doing her thing!


The next several pictures are the professional ones.  While I like them, I am super glad I took my own! I definitely like mine better.

My beautiful ballerina did so well!

Much needed girl’s weekend

In April we (me, Stacey, Chasity, and Kaycee) decided to take a much needed girls-trip to Nashville for a day of pampering and giggling and shopping. We stayed at the Dolly Hotel (actually called The Graduate) and it was the cutest hotel I have ever seen. We ate and drank and laughed so much and rejuvenated and shopped at Target before heading back to our husbands and children. 





my adorable hotel key card

you may not be able to tell but the purple is actually sparkly!!





Pedicures in the VIP section, with an adult beverage and lots of laughter


Chasity is super ticklish






After pedis we went to The Dry Bar for blowouts and hairstyling





Kaycee does a good hairstyle by herself, so she opted to be photog while the rest of us got our hair did



all fancy and heading out to find some fun!









if you haven't noticed, we find fun wherever we go!









YAY! We added to our fun with a friend of Stacey's and Devon!!











weird art in our hotel. I only have about 35 pictures of these two in front of it

sparkle wall!!
The next morning we snuck up to the rooftop bar and restaurant so we could get pictures with the giant Dolly Parton head...we seriously had to sneak up there because they were being weird about reservations, etc (very few people were there...we just wanted a picture!!)
