Awana Awards, Emmy's Dance Recital and More Baseball!

The boys finished out their AWANA year this past Sunday.  Zander was recognized for finishing his third book within the T & T program (on his way to getting the Timothy Award next year as a 5th grader), and he also earned a trophy for finishing his third Sparks book that he wasn't able to complete the year that Covid was prevalent and we didn't have our typical Awana night routine that year.  Maddox finished his second book in Sparks.  I continue to be impressed by their memory of scripture verses and their excitement for learning these verses each week!

Emmy had her annual dance recital this past weekend as well.  You can tell we are approaching the end of the school year as all the kids are having performances and ceremonies to celebrate the past year!  Emmy did a great job with her two dance numbers.  She had us in tears during "Butterfly Kisses" (a song I danced with Grandpa to at our wedding 15 years ago)!  She also had us smiling through her tap routine as she performed each movement and had her personality shine through with her hand gestures at key moments within the song.  I love being this little girl's aunt!  Eli enjoyed the recital as well and it was fun to get extra cuddles from him as he shared the snacks I brought!
Zander had an interactive music performance last week as well.  It was fun to see him singing and playing musical instruments (including his recorder) during the exhibition.  
We continue to be on the ball field multiple nights a week cheering on #10.  This past week, Maddox added more family members to his cheering section!  
These boys love spending time with their daddy.  He works hard and he works a lot.  We are always thankful when he is home.
This picture cracked me up of Maddox.  He loves pushing his hair up when it's sweaty to see the height it can get.  I think there is no mistaking where he gets his thick, wavy hair from! ;)
