Today was one of those days I've been waiting for ever since I found out I was having a little girl... her first ballet class! Well, actually it was ballet/tap/tumbling. Sailer was SOOO stinkin' cute dressed in her little ballet tutu and tap & ballet shoes. We kept peeking in at their class and they giggled the whole time. A cute picture of Hope and Sailer with their new dance teacher: Part of the rules at her dance academy requires each ballerina to have a bag to carry their different dance shoes, etc., so I told Sailer I had a surprise for her this morning and gave her this backpack. She did NOT want to take it off. In fact, she cried almost the whole way there b/c I made her take it off to get in her carseat. She looked like such a big girl carrying it. After her class when she got home, I gave her a little present for her first dance class. It was just little things that had ballerinas on them, but she LOVED the dance wand and esp the wooden magnetic ballerina doll. We played dress up with it for the majority of the afternoon. What was so funny was that there were tons of accessories but she'd change the outfits but always wanted her to have the bow on! Since Mr. Lincoln was going to be surrounded by tons of ladies, I thought this onesie only appropriate.... (=
As we've done for the last three years, we all headed up to Timarron to enjoy the awesome Father's Day brunch... the food was wonderful!!! Mark and I snuck away this afternoon to play a round of golf, and yeah, yeah, yeah I finally got to use my uber cool putter today. Pics of Mark's cuties clad in their daddy duds (don't you just love Sailer making Lincoln a cappucino from her Barbie cappucino maker??) Tonight we grilled out our fave steaks to continue the glutonous celebrations. While she waited, Sailer enjoyed the night with her new sand/water table. It's super messy, but it provides hours of fun for her.
Today Lincoln's Mimi and Nana hosted a "Sip-n-See" for him so that a few of their friends could get to finally meet him. The invitations boasted a super cute jungle theme to welcome the new little cub, and the decorations fit perfectly. I was so grateful for all of those that came to celebrate our new addition! Lincoln is so lucky to have so many that care about him!! It was a wonderful day! I was so caught up in greeting and talking to people that I didn't get to take many pictures (shocking, I know). You're looking at Mr. L for pretty much the entire sip'n'see.... SLEEPING! He especially loved his Aunt Nicole who sweetly held him FOREVER. (She's just logging practice hours for her sweet little boy that's going to be here soon.) Sailer having snacks with her new neighbor, Becca: They call me Mellow Yellow... just had to grab a pic of two of my girlies in the apparent color of the day: Mr. L's jungle cake and super fun animal cupcakes: the kids' table: Monkey Invasion!!! I just had to take this picture of Lincoln because it reminded me so much of Sailer- she used to always sleep with both of her arms up by her ears, and I thought it was so sweet!
Sailer went to her second gymnastics class, and she loved it yet again! They're so adorable to watch... Practicing her front roll: I just love this picture because it looks like a "team meeting"! Aren't they soooo cute just listening intently. Sailer's back roll in action: Her first handstand: Admiring her stamp after a job well done: This onesie was supposed to be in celebration of his daddy playing his first round at Colonial this morning, but since it didn't happen.... it was still a cutie patootie baby boy.
