Today the family went to Lilah's 1st birthday. It was Hana's first birthday party that she was invited to. What a great time! To our surprise, there was a mechanical bull there. I asked Hayli if she wanted to ride the bull, and her answer was "YES". Hayli had no idea if I meant a real bull or a fake one... but she went for it anyway. WOW, that's my girl!!! Hana gave it a try too. We didn't let them turn it on for Hana, and I think she was a bit disappointed.
The theme was cupcakes, and Lilah's parents bought a HUGE cupcake pinata!
Hayli had her dancing bears class today. She was so cute in her new dancing dress. The class started to practice their recital so not many videos between now and June 11th.
Mr. Austin let Hana in on the dance class today. So sweet!
Hana is one of the regulars at open gym on Tuesdays. Hayli rarely gets to go because she is in preschool. Today was a treat since school was cancelled for parent-teacher conferences. Hayli showed interest in tumbling today for the first time EVER. Maybe it was that trip to the Cruces Gymnastics Academy???
Hayli is one step closer to swimming on her own. I can't believe it! Miss Kayla is teaching Hayli to use three big arms and then breathe on the side. WOW!
Today we went to the Aquatic Center for the first time. We met up with the Sahm and Ernst-Schrader family. It was a lot of fun! Hana enjoyed the fountains!
Hayli swam like a dolphin~~~
We are working on Hayli swimming with big arms. She is starting to understand how to accomplish this.
Today the family went to Young Park to take some spring photos of the girls. The Sahm family met us there for a picnic. Tristan (Hayli's friend) brought a kite with him, and Hayli had a good time trying to figure out how it worked. She spent more time trying to catch the kite than flying it! So funny!
