This weekend Ladi Elizabeth went to her friends' birthday parties at "Sweet and Sassy". (the name says it all!) It is a totally girls spa and boutique ! Ladi Elizabeth has talked about going there but I have been waiting until she was a "little older". And I knew once she went in there she would absolutely love it and ask to go ALL the time! We did have a wonderful time at the Princess Birthday party. Ladi Elizabeth loved being with all of her girl buddies- and of course they all dressed up and had their nails and hair done! Ladi Elizabeth loved the sparkle hairspray that they use! It puts glitter all over you!!! After getting all dressed-up the girls danced and sang to princess songs- they were so funny and it was so sweet to see Ladi Elizabeth with her friends.

Brady loves when we go fast over waves!

Memorial Weekend out on the water!

hello all this is bryson leger.i am posting the blog tonight. today is Ladi's GOTCHA DAY!!!!!this afternoon we went to the pilot house restaurant to eat dinner. we sat out on the dock looking at the river. for ladi's special day mom and ladi got matching silver bracelets. then we went to go get ice cream.(ladi got chocolate crayons).brady is now enjoying his gummy alligator.even though they did not get ice cream blake and i did. after some delicious ice cream then we waited for Ned the horse to come back.we went on a long carriage ride all through downtown. it is hard to believe that a year ago mom and dad got ladi! I am so glad she is my younger sister. and I love her. we all had a terrific day!

Last night Ladi Elizabeth had her first dance recital. She started taking dance when school started last fall. The class meets every Wed. right after preschool and it is held at preschool- so we never have to travel! And all her "buddies" from preschool are in her class! She had such a good time! When I picked her up from backstage the first thing she said was, "Where are "The Brother's" and did they see me?" She was so proud of herself and we were so proud of her too! As Steven and I were sitting there watching her on stage we both were thinking that last year this very night we were flying over the ocean to meet her again and bring her home! All I can say is- God is so GREAT; thank you.

Ladi Elizabeth loved performing!

Mother's Day! My first Mother's Day with Ladi Elizabeth and it was absolutely perfect! On Saturday, mom, Ladi Elizabeth and I went out to eat lunch together and have her dance recital pictures taken. It was such a wonderful day- just the three of us celebrating together. Then on Sunday we went to church with mom and dad- the church I grew up in and Steven and I were married in. AS you can see mom had flowers for the three of us to wear. After church we spent the day out on the boat and on the island. We docked at a local restaurant for lunch so mom and I did not have to "work" at all that day! I couldn't think of a better way to spend Mother's day- with my children, my husband and my mom and dad! I truly felt so blessed!

Opening night of Brady's play! It was a wonderful weekend! The play was a huge success! Friday night we had all of our family and friends join us- Brady was so excited! He did so well- we are so proud of him! He knew all of his lines- and the other actor's lines as well! He was such a "ham"! (remember he was "Sleepy" Dwarf). There was so much talent on that stage- we couldn't believe they were all kids! And the director and choreographer did an excellent job! The theater was full for every performance-yes I went to all three- and I got to help backstage Sat. night (what an education!). We all think this is only the beginning of Brady's acting career ;)
