Brownies

There are several things I like about our new house, and the kitchen

island is one of those things!  It's huge and there isn't a sink or stove top on it to break up the amount of space.  I finally have an island where Jackson and Katherine can both sit on top and "help" cook.  And there is still plenty of extra room.

Today, we made brownies.

Or rather, we ate a good bit of the mix, cracked an egg all over us rather than in the bowl, stirred the ingredients 50 times per the instructions, and dumped it all in the pan.  Then we licked the bowl.  We love having space to move around . . . we love brownies mix too!

  

Happily Ever After

Katherine had her first dance recital a couple of weeks ago!

She did really well, especially during her tap routine!

She likes pointing her toe! 

 She had a dress rehearsal the week prior, and I think she was stunned when she came out on stage.  The theme was Disney, and the older dancers were dressed as different princesses and she wouldn't quit staring at all the princesses on stage!

Her favorite, "Shuffle kick"!  She does this constantly at home!

 Hitting all of her poses!

Her cheering crowd!

Katherine and her classmates did so well, and now that dance is over,

she is excited about her summer long cheer camp at school!
