FUN WITH THE NIECES

Last Saturday morning found us bright and early at the Ogden amphitheatre for my nieces dance recital. It was "Show your Appreciate for the Arts Day", so they decided to hold it then. I have three nieces on my side and two of them are in dance. They were so stinkin' cute! First up we have Reecer's with "Shake your Tail Feathers" (she has her back to me, so I can't see her face)but I did manage to snag a couple of pics before the recital. Sorry, it was super bright that day and we were looking right into the sun!
And then Ell-Bell with, well, I can't remember the name of her dance! It was set to a 50's song, hence the costume! (she's right next to the girl currently standing up)Later that day we picked up the two girls again for dinner and then headed to Deseret Book. Ellie just turned eight and was recently baptized. I'm so proud of her and what was even sweeter is that she asked me to give a talk at her baptism. Yep, one proud auntie! Anyway, I told her for her birthday gift we would go down and let her pick out her own CTR ring and take her to dinner. She was kind enough to let Reecer's join us. After an entertaining dinner at Chili's, we headed to Deseret Book and then walked around the Junction for a while (they have rock climbing and a flow rider, so the girls wanted to watch). Then we headed over to the Ogden Parkway to look at the river. Because of the snow pack and then the sudden increase of temperatures, a lot of rivers are either flooding or on the brink of. The Weber is super full and the girls had fun throwing sticks and rock into the water. The Bub's even taught Ell-Bell how to skip rocks.


Love this little girl!
