father's day somewhere in here

I know fathers' day was some where in here. we celebrated it early because james was going to be in San Diego for training for two weeks so we changed the day. I had to put in these cute pictures of sophia DEMANDING to make pancakes. (chocolate chip ofcourse, daddy's favorite) she wanted to do it all herself (imagine that). so i told her that she could take them out of the pan when they were done but ofcourse she wanted to FLIP the pancakes. finally i gave in and right when she was going to flip she takes her other hand and puts it on the side of the pan to steady it. HOT! no blisters or anything. good thing we were right next to the sink. she was ok. Fathers day was good. we ended up at G & G house for Steak and Crab legs. James favorites, that i only make once (or twice maybe for his bday) a year. (the crab of course, steak all the time). the steaks were good though. on the actual fathers day, it was kinda sad to sing with the primary kids and James not be there to hear, because let me tell you Cullen knew every word and definitely was the loudest. ( i was so proud of my primary kids though, *tear* they sang good.) anyways that was fathers day sometime in here.

Lily and her music card

this little girl is so cute. i had to get it on video. She has one of those music cards which my kids get from grandma pretty much every holiday. she loves them. now that she knows how to open them up its so cute to see her dance any time she hears the music. for her birthday we had to get her some more.

don't pay attention to the dirty room and everything under the couch please. and yes,i am in my pjs in the video.

cullens kindergarden graduation

cullen is now a first grader! he graduated from Mrs. Zirille's kindergarden class. He is such a clown. They sang all the songs they had learned throughout the year and cullen was singing every song, i was so proud. then they announced the names, it was my first experience when i realized that cullen will always be close to the end because his last name is stockdale. i had always been close to the front with chapman so i was waiting for him, then realized it was alphabetical. it was great. grandma was there with us and they had a little luncheon at the end. we were so proud of Cullen.

Sophia's Dance Recital

Sophia had her first dance recital. She had been taking a tap/ballet class through the city. i loved her teacher she was great for little girls, i don't know how she kept their attention but she did. the song she danced to was super trooper from Mama mia. so annoying. That's why the song is on the blog because we practiced it at home. She looked so cute and danced great. she was the only blonde haired white girl in her class so she kind stood out, in a good way. and her bow on her shoe came untided half way though and ran off stage, but came back on right on track and finished the song.
We gave her her own flowers that she loved. james was gone in san diego for the recital so it was sad that he wasn't there to see it. but we got it on video.
She was the cutest super trooper there!!!!
Cullen loved the dance too, i really think that he was proud of sophia and he knew the dance by the time she preformed so they did it together.
