Our little "Dancing Beauty Queen" was the star of her dance recital performance. She knew every move and danced right on beat, smiling and singing the words to the song!
Our little performer loves to be on stage! She said she wasn't nervous at all and just had a ball.
Ellie was so proud of her sister and says she really wants to do it next year too.
We were treated with the arrival of my sister Lauren just in time for the recital. Lauren is a trooper since she basically went straight from her all-night post-graduation party to the airport to come here.
After the recital, we had some adventure as we raced home to beat the storm that supposedly was dropping golf ball-sized hail. We didn't quite make it home before the dime-sized hail hit our car, but that's not so bad. The night continued with a handful of tornado sirens. At one point, Dave went outside to checkout the storm and happened to see these "wall clouds" (the clouds that produce tornadoes) forming. Then he noticed it starting to rotate. He then decided to join us in the basement! As he came down, we heard on the news how a "trained spotter" had located a rotating wall cloud in our area. Despite all the sirens, crazy clouds and hail storms, none of the funnel clouds touched down. (For those of you who don't know much about tornadoes, it starts as a wall cloud, then rotates and becomes a funnel cloud, and once it touches the ground it becomes a tornado.)

This kind of thing freaks me out. I've got a friend living in Oklahoma right now and this is pretty much their life right now. The other day they were driving down the highway and went right through one of these things. They learned that the tornado touched down shortly after they made it through. YIKES!
Thanks for getting the great pictures up so quickly. I love the dancing Beauty Queen, I'm sure we will see many more great performances from her. I felt pretty scared to see the photos of the clouds. I pray every day for your safety, I hope I'm well connected!
Aubrie is so adorable! That lipstick makes her look so much older. Gotta love the weather this time of year.
cool storm photos! and beautiful little girl photos!
Wow! That storm looks scary! The pics of the girls are adorable. I can't believe how they both are such a perfect blend on you and Dave!
