Wow what a busy past few weeks for this little girl!!!
Eden turned 7 years old on May 3rd. She had a wonderful day and a very fun party with family and friends! She LOVES the attention her birthday brings and starts planning for the next year before the current year has even hit! She gets so giggly and excited!
I have not had the chance to take her out for her birthday photo shoot yet. I will hopefully be able to tackle that very soon!
Eden has been doing WONDERFUL in school. She is reading at a 3rd grade level and loves school! She was awarded with the "Principal's Pride Award" today for some of her work she has done this year. Her work is on display in the school hallway by the Principles office. (Now had she told her mom and dad about this award ceremony- we would have been there- but I had to find out about this after the fact and feel like crap for not being there today... we seem to have some communication issues with our children!) But none the less, we are so pleased with Eden and happy for her achievements! I love that she loves school and does so amazingly well at it!
Eden has also been very busy with dance. We had our final dance recital of the season and she did awesome! Her and Lily are so fun to watch on that stage! They love being in the spotlight. Eden has also been very busy the past couple of days with Dance Company tryouts... She is finally old enough to be one of the "big girls" at dance and has been so excited to try out! Although I wonder if she really knows what it means to tryout. On Monday Eden went to the studio for 2 hours. For the first hour the girls were taught a dance and danced their little hearts out. Eden surprised me with how well she did. In the second hour they did their Technique in front of three studio judges, Eden again amazed me with doing very well and being so smiley and confident! Yesterday she went back for another couple hours... we practiced the dance with all the girls and then they presented their dance to the judges... 3/4 girls at a time. Eden was so excited and giddy to be able to do this. She did very well and now we just get to wait to see what the outcome is. I think we will find out tomorrow or Friday if she will be dancing with Company and doing competitions this next season. I know this will require a lot of time and money- but we do what we can to accommodate our kids wishes and dreams. :)
This little girl takes after her mom in the artistic side of life. Eden loves art. Loves to draw, paint, glue, cut... you name it. She also LOVES to read and write. Eden makes cards and books for everything! She loves writing stories and making illustrations to go with her stories! She recieved a bunch of gifts for her birthday to help her expand her horizons and get more creative! Nana and Papa bought her a special book to write her stories in and put illustrations with each story... her little stories and pictures are SO CUTE! Her uncle Guy and aunt Jen gave her a Disney Princess Art kit- that she loves! Then our sweet friends Shelie and Dale gave her some super cool colored pencils called Smencils... These penciles smell SO YUMMY and Eden has loved them to death! I think 2 of the pencils have already met their last day- she uses them for everything!!! Her aunt Amy and Keith and cousins also gave her a huge package of white paper--- who ever would have though a little girl would get excited over a ream of paper--- this little girl did!!!
We love our sweet Eden! She is an amazing little girl and will do great things and go places in this big world! I love how happy and excited she is about life! She is an example to me. I just love my little girl!
