Spring Kindermusik 2011....

Lauren continued in Kindermusik during the spring session and loved it!  This session went until the end of May and she and Autumn had a blast every single time!  In fact, there is a catfish restaurant right by the dance studio where she goes to Kindermusik...one day we were getting out of the car to go eat catfish and she took off for the dance studio thinking she had Kindermusik!  It was too cute!  Here are some pictures that her teacher Miss Sandy sent us!  I love them all!

I'm sure she was saying "ba...ba!!!"...which means "Ball...ball!" 

Love the shakers!

Hanging out with her Kindermusik friends! 

What. A. Cutie. 

Where did her bow go!? 

She loves that parachute! 

And she loves the camera... 

Cutie! 

Jingle ball! 

Future opera singing soccer star? 

She loves the jingle bells! 

Playing with the scarves! 

Cute pink bow and pig smocked romper...ahhh...my day is complete! 

They must taste good too... 

Playing with the monkey and lamb while the other kids are riding around on the towels...

Meet The Teacher Night....

Lauren is attending the Humble ISD Early Learning Center this year for daycare!  The daycare is open to employees of the district and after taking the tour, I was sold!  Lauren will start on Monday the 15th and I'm sure she will do fine...me on the other hand, not so much! 

We went to Meet the Teacher Night last night to meet Lauren's teacher, Miss Angel.  She is so sweet and I really think Lauren is going to do just fine with her!  When Lauren turns 18 months (in two months if that even seems possible), she will move up to the next class.  I think being in the younger class to start will be good for her so she can learn to nap on the mat, eat at a table, etc. 

I'm being realistic that Monday morning will be a cRaZy morning for us so I took pictures of her early--plus she got to wear her new apple smocked dress!  I'll try to take at least one picture of her on Monday though...we'll just have to see how it goes!

Love this picture!  She looks so proud of herself to be going to school! 

Posing in front of the school! 

My "please be nice to my child..." gift for teacher orientation... I figure the more I suck up at the beginning the better her chances will be... Right?!

Mommy checking us in...Lauren looking through the "bribe basket!" 

And then the little sneaky thing found the Cheerios in the diaper bag... 

Lauren is in Miss Angel and Miss Esther's room! 

Lauren and her teacher, Miss Angel! 

Miss Angel is so sweet!  I'm glad she has such a nice teacher! 

The Birthday Wall!

Payton was making fun of me for taking pictures of everything...it's a "Mom Thing" I guess. 

She is the oldest in her class--until she moves to the next class! 

Sitting at the table like a big girl! 

Playing in the tunnel with Daddy while Mommy got all of the information about what to bring each day!  Wow, it's a lot of stuff to pack for one little girl!

She loves the toys already! 

My Yellowstone Shirt...

Lauren's Unkie Shay sent her a t-shirt from Yellowstone a few weeks ago!  The shirt is really cute and I was trying to get a good picture of her in it, but instead, I got these...

"I'm playing with my dolly...I'm not taking pictures right now, Mother..." 

"You can't get a picture of me if I'm standing on my head..." 

"I'm not listening..."

Oh, I hope that daycare is ready for her...

A Few Official Wedding Pictures....

The photographer, Amanda Thompson, tagged Autumn and Jesse in a few "sneak peek" pictures on Facebook so I stole the pictures so I could share with you!  Like I said earlier, when the real pictures come in, I'll post a few (yah right, probably at least 100)!!!  Enjoy, and check out her website!

The Reception That Rocked My World....

After the wedding, we headed over to the reception and it was amazing!!!

Autumn and Jesse right after they arrived!  They were ready to eat, dance, and party!

All of the aunts and grandma at the reception! 

After Dad and Autumn did their Father/Daughter dance for a minute or so, the DJ invited all the Father/Daughters to come to the dance floor!  I joined in with my Dad and Autumn and Payton and Lauren joined in too! 

Becca and Wesley were dancing machines!  

Me and Lauren getting ready to DANCE!

Mom and Dad enjoying the reception! 

Autumn and Baby Jonathan! 

Dad, Autumn, and Mom! 

Our little family!  We had been dancing the afternoon away! 

The bridesmaids! 

Love my little girl! 

Grammie Tammie and her grand babies! 

The cake topper!  So cute!  Went perfect with the garden tea party theme! 

Mom and Dane during the Mother/Son portion of the dance! 

Dane and Jesse during the Dollar Dance!  I mean, if Dane paid his dollar then Jesse has to dance with him! 

Beautiful cake! 

Dancing, Dancing, Dancing!!! 

Lauren was trying to eat!

The getaway car!  And, Dane and Payton put full cans of soda on the car... 

I hope they're ready for the birdseed!!! 

Get 'em!!! 

Love their faces! 

What they didn't know when they drove off is...Dane was in the backseat!  The car made it about 150 yards and he got kicked out!

The next day, we put Jonathan in Jesse's tux! 

And then we put Lauren in Autumn's dress!
