Showtime

Their act was called the Happy Sparkling Ballerinas and that really was what they were. I can't say enough about how proud I was of all of them but especially chloe. There was a time not long ago where she would cry if we went to ballet and now she's a true little ballerina. She was good too, even though I'm biased.

Happy Sparkling Ballerinas

Here she is with her little ballerina friends. She was a bit nervous at first but had no trouble staying in the 'green room' with her new best friends. They were all so cute, I was teary all day.

The final product

Here's how she looked after some glamming up. I love these shots, she's so happy with her hair and make-up. I remember doing this for ballet when I was little and thinking we were so hot!

Getting Gorgeous

Chloe's ballet recital was on the weekend. She was so gorgeous. Some shots of her getting ready for her big performance.

Our Turkey dress

I bought this dress for Chloe from this lady on Etsy who is in Turkey, hence the Turkey dress. Her work is so nice and she is such a lovely lady. Her shop is here. She emailed me last week out of the blue saying she loves me. She doesn't speak good English....Anyways, here are some shots I love of Chloe looking beautiful while Kevin paints the fence. It's painted now, it was a lot of work of him but as we near Chloe's birthday party all these things have to get done. It's like this every year, June is full of work and then we can enjoy the summer....hopefully.

Water Babies

Apparently Chloe can swim....well. I missed all this since I don't own a bathing suit but Kev and her go 3 or 4 times a week to the pool and somewhere along the way she became a swimmer! I went to watch her a few weeks ago and was very impressed, she can actually hold her breath under water and swim the length of the pool. Marley tolerated it but wasn't thrilled with the whole process.

More Lounge Suits

More lounge suits for the girls. They look better in real life. Marley hates the grass and seems a little disgusted with outdoors in general hence the sour face.
