We all had fun!!

At the end of May we had another dance recital. Out of the 3 sections of numbers that involved adults I performed in all 3- Gala, hip-hop, and Hansel and gretel. ( I was a village woman, angel, witch in the Hansel and Gretel part) Lorenzo danced the lead role as Hansel, and Dale danced in two numbers as a bee and as a little gentleman!! It was a blast! It was also exhausting but this time Brandt was able to come and watch in person!

Here is an absolutely delicious recipe from a dear friend!

HEALTHY FRUIT MILKSHAKES

my favorite yogurt for flavor is yo-baby

blueberry or apple in a purple cup

I use about half the container

my favorite is blueberries but

I like strawberries with 1/2 a banana

It works better if the fruit is frozen so its nice and thick and cold

and smooth

It serves one surprisingly! I love it but it can be shared for two

It can also be adjusted to fit allergies with soy milk and icecream too!

GROUND HOG DAY

Today is also Lorenzo's 10th birthday! Hard to believe he is that old!! We started his day off with 10 spanks and a pinch to grow on! Then we handed him Dale's gift...a cool outfit to wear! Then dad took him out to get his next gift that would be from Brandt. He also received his first military ID!! Too funny! He really doesn't need it since he looks 8! We took him out to eat at his favorite restaurant Schezwuan! He loves egg drop soup! When he came home my gift to him was a ripstick which he seems to have mastered!! And dinner was my chocolate cake that I grew up with and haven't made for years!!! I think i have it listed under my chocolate section!! Then we slept out on the floor by the fire and watched the movie "Ground Hog Day"!!
He even talked with his grandparents!! Thanks to all those who wished him a happy birthday!!
