The Humpty Dance hits a new generation!

Landry will at some point learn his own "moves", but at this point he's stuck with daddy's dated dance style... poor kid :)

Ireland's Cheering Debut

Kris found a wonderful start-up cheerleading program for Ireland & her step-sister, Samantha, to join. They spent the last 12 weeks of the school year learning the basics of cheerleading & dance. The squads performed for family/friends on May 25th. The attached video is a clip from that night. Ireland & Samantha are the best in their groups! (I'm not bias, they really are!) Both Ireland & Samantha received their next set of pom-poms, which means they get to move to the next level - we are so proud of them both!

(Sidenote: Mrs. Lewis, Ireland's 2nd grade teacher, attended the performance, which is just so cool. I can't think of any of my teachers growing up that would have made that type of effort for a student, especially since the activity wasn't associated with Ireland's school in any way... so easy to see why Ireland loves Mrs. Lewis and will miss her next year!)

Also, the morning of June 5th, the girls competed in a competition against three other programs. Only two girls from Ireland's squad showed up, so Ireland & the other little girl competed by themselves... and won 1st place!!! Blair & I missed it because we were out of town, but wished we could have seen Ireland out there for ourselves, we heard she did AWESOME!!!
