Ellie in her big bed

Ellie has been climbing out of her crib, so we decided to put her in a big bed. We moved her downstairs into Maddy's room. She made the transition very easily. She looks so tiny in that big bed. Our baby is growing up so quickly.

Morgan and Madison had a dance recital. They did a great job. The girls have worked hard this year in their dance classes and it paid off for them. Morgan is finishing up her year of being on a competing dance team and has put many hours into dance. Madison took a jazz class and is has really improved in her dancing. Ellie loved watching the dancers. The boys were as patient as little brothers can be at a 2 and half hour recital. They were all rewarded at the end by Grandma, who brought them cookies from Paradise Bakery.

We had a barbecue on Memorial Day, we were also celebrating John's birthday. We had fun and went swimming in our newly filled up pool. The kids were as excited as John about his birthday present, a Wii. They have been having a blast playing it, especially Austin.
