Florida Vacation Part I

So we have been on vacation since Saturday in Destin with the entire family...we are having a blast and enjoying family time so very much. We do this vacation every other year with The Stephens family from Nashville...this is time number 5 we have done it and it only gets better each and everytime. We have spent lots of time at our private pool and at the beach. Collyn has thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her cousins that she does not see very often. We had good news when we first got here that we will have an addition to our already family of 18 in December...Caymin and Carson are expecting a baby brother or sister...yay for the Ladd's...Well here are a few pics of our trip so far and I hope that you enjoy...i will try to better at updating each day with pics and the fun we are having...Hope you all enjoy!

After we got hair done on saturday!

Whew!....last week was a long one. After taking dance since August...we finally finished up with a great recital on Sunday, May 31, 2009. The week started off easy with the Memorial Day holiday, but on tuesday the running began. We had on stage rehearsal for one hour on Tues, Wednesday was more like 4 hours, and Thurs was about the same...being a room mom for Collyn's dance class meant i had to be there throughout the whole thing...it was fantastic and all of the hard work and MONEY paid off! This is Collyn's second year to take dance and this year she took jazz as well as tap and ballet. We were in a total of 4 dances this year, which included the finale...needless to say i was so tired, as was Collyn on sunday night. The weekend was the most rough...we had dress rehearsal on saturday which was a full our hair and makeup thing only to get up and do it all over again on sunday for the recital...We want to thank Melissa for doing such a great job on Collyns hair both days...she even came to my house on sunday, her day off!

Sunday was absolutely fantastic...Collyn had a lot of family and friends in the audience to see her...Daddy, Brother (connor), sister (carson), Grandmother, Blair, Jordy, Rob, Papaw, Te Te, Bubba, Ga, Pappy, Mimi, Uncle Ryan, aunt Rachel, and others just to name a few...Collyns says thanks for the support guys! Collyn looked so beautiful and so grown up with hair and makeup done...she did a wonderful job on the stage and new her dances despite looking at Ms. Taylor the whole time! All in all the recital was a great success...hope you enjoy the pics...
