Saturday May 19

Cassi got to perform her song tonight in a recital.

It was a fun recital.

It was mixed with cute little dancers too.

The dance teacher and the piano teachers got together to make tonight happen.

What a great idea.

Both Cassi and Madi take lessons from Mason, who is the son of the piano teacher who put it together with the dance teacher......

And Cassi was excited to be a part of it.

Madi.....not so much.

I don't know if she will ever be willing to perform in front of people.....but she is doing great and i am glad she is at least learning how to do it.

Cassi, on the other hand, has no problem performing.

She had a blast tonight and everyone loved it and told her afterward how great she did.

However, I don't know if I can continue to let her perform.
But I have the WORST headache.....due to lack of oxygen before hse got on stage I guess.

I don't know why I work myself up for when SHE performs.
It isn't like I am going up there at all!

I LOVE watching her and I LOVE listening to her.

I am just gonna have to get a handle on my hyperventilating and headaches.....I am SO GLAD she did not inherit any of that from me.

She has no worry in the world when she gets ready to go in front of a crowd, and I love that.

She needs to keep doing it so that she will hopefully never develop a shyness for the crowd :)
So, if your not sick of listening to her song again....here it is.

*****

This morning we got to go to Ayden's birthday party.

It was a lot of fun.

It was Harry Potter themed and it was a real hit.

Later on we went next door to celebrate 51 years with our neighbor Eldon and Carol (bubble).

According to Bubble, her kids forgot last year, so they threw her a big shin dig this year.

Good for them.

They are so great and we sure love having them across the field.

They have been so helpful and friendly.

I am glad we got to party a little with them.

Then it was off the the recital.

Doesn't sound like much, but it sure seemed like a full day.
