Avery is in third grade and Hadlee
has loved her from the moment they

SO excited to finally have a trophy!!!
On stage she searches for her family...
it's so cute!  Even when she's dancing,
she tells us she's searching for everyone.
She doesn't even get nervous...
not one bit at all!!!!!!!!
She spotted her biggest fan ~ Mommy:)

Definitely Daddy's Princess:)
PROUD Grandparents!!!!!!!!!!!

These boys ADORE this little girl!!!
Pierce Party of Five 
She is truly the heart of our family:)
A gift from Grandmother & PaPa...
She had been telling Grandmother
for quite some time that she
wanted the pajamas for her new doll!
And of course something from
Mommy, Daddy and her Brothers ...
Isabelle's dance outfit
WITH a tiara!!!
Sometimes I still just can't believe
that I have a little girl. 
I really just have to pinch myself!!!
Thank you, Sweet Jesus!!!!!
So funny but this old man asked
us if we wanted a group picture...
and we were like sure.
He had no clue how to use an iPhone though!;)
My parents are more crazy over
her than they are me!!!  ;)
Great friends!  Amanda's brother, Cole:)
A wonderful night celebrating
our favorite girl!!!!!!!!!!
Flowers, gifts and a trophy!!!!!!!
Such a STAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She got to choose where we went
to eat and it was Marco's Pizza of course!
Our new family fave:)
Brother was tired....
he kept asking Daddy during the
recital, "Just one more, Daddy?"
But happy!  And Big Brother was busy;)
I cracked up at my little dancer...
it was McDonald's pancakes and bacon
for breakfast, Bush's for lunch
and pizza for a late night dinner:)
That's my girl!!!!!!!!!!
Our Beautiful Ballerina...
I hope she always loves to dance ~
throughout her entire life!!!
 I don't know if it's just because
she is mine or not...but there
is something so very special and sweet
about our little Hadlee.
We couldn't love her more!!!!!!!
