Spencer playing his songs, "The Pink Panther" and "King Tut."
Grandma and Grandpa Noble along with Great Grandma Cordle as a special treat came to visit for Spencer's piano recital this year. He's getting pretty good at the piano, it's fun to watch him grow at it!
Before the recital, we had everyone over to our house for some turkey dinner in June, we summered it up a bit but still had all the turkey trimmings with mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy and rolls. Just added some pasta and summer fruit salads. My aunt Vickie, cousin Jennifer and my other cousin Sara's daughter drove grandma out so it was a treat to be able to have them over for a visit as well!
Grandma brought Ellie and Brooklynne their her b-day bags full of goodies, Brooke was thrilled with all of it's contents as we can see!
Good job Spener!
Brooklynne's tap/ballet/acro combo class, "Animal Crackers"
One of her good friends Ava isn't pictured but Jordyn's mom (Marianne our photographer) took pictures of all three of our girls in her home studio...can't wait to see them, it'll be good memories for Brooklynn'es very first dance class!
Ellie's Tap Class, "Nine to Five"
Ellie's jazz class, "Wakka Wakka"
Bre's Ballet, "Imagine"
Bre and Haley Duo
One of Bre's Jazz Classes, "We are Young"

Another dance year is already over, can't believe it...a great year for all of the girls! Full of plenty of DANCING, FRIENDS and FUN!
The Studio doesn't let you take pics at the actual recital (you have to pay for a video) but you can take all the pics and video you want during dress rehersal so here's some sparatic pics I snapped of the girls during the recital weeks practicing.
Bre and her best dancing friends, the fab four...

Grandma and Grandpa Jackson came to the girls dance recital for the 8th year in a row, their support is always such a great thing that the girls look forward to over Father's Day weekend.
Congrats girls, so much fun! You all did a great job dancing this year...
Ellie received a special award in reading during the 5th grade graduation from Mr. Lopez.
Middle School here we come!
Ellie and all her best friends, Ava, her, Haley and Emma. These girls have been best of friends since kindergarten!
Good bye Daffodil Valley Elementary!
Ellie and Haley's flowers were matchy matchy! Congrats Ellie~
Jarom also graduated from 8th grade but the MS didn't do a graduation for them, not sure why that seemed strange to me I can still remeber my 8th grade graduation but his class and the other 8th graders from the other MS's attending Sumner HS next year did get to go on a field trip to Bullwinkles Family Fun Center in Tuwilla which I heard was fun.
Spencer was also selected to attend a leadership conference at the High School with his principal and a few other hand selected students from his school, they had a good conference and a pizza lunch. He had a fun time with other students from the other elementary schools around town.
Brooke and Josh on their way out the door to the neighbor Haley's 4th bday party.
Happy Dad's Day to the many, many wonderful fathers in our lives! We BBQed dinner over at Dad Jackson's place as we also celebrated Gary's b-day with the fam as well.
We had a special brunch to celebrate Matt and the wonderful father he is for dad's day before church and as Ellie wrapped her father's day art she had made for her dad, Brooklynne also took it upon herself to wrap a special gift for her daddy, his very own church shoes which she found out on the shelf in the garage...she must have known he'd be needing them for church, nothing like re-gifting an old set of worn in comfy shoes right?! (That way there's no breaking them in and blisters involved!) Yep, to the best dad ever...So after one packed week full of fun, big sigh...school is officially out for SUMMER!!!
