Pinkalicious & Fantastic Fathers

Miss PJ debuted her mad dancing skills in a public forum via June 16th's dance recital, and she was awesome!  Her class performed "Pinkalicious" and they were adorable.  Just the costumes would have been enough to incite oohs and ahhs, but then they all started doing their synchronized moves and the cuteness factor was raised up about 50 notches.  Even though PJ's performance was only about 10 minutes, Luke actually watched almost an hour of the recital sitting on our laps, we couldn't believe how good he was being.  The whole event was well worth the trip up to WI and then we had a fun family dinner out afterwards to celebrate Paige's success.  

We went to K&C's house before the recital to hang out, and Cory & Matt randomly decided to go to a shooting range just for fun.  Slightly strange, but hey, Father's Day was the next day so if that's what they wanted to do....

On Sunday we hosted Father's Day/June Birthdays for the Mackus side of the family at our house, as is our T-R-A-D-I-T-I-O-N!!  This year, not usually a tradition, we had great pool party weather.  Yippee!  We had a wonderful day celebrating all the Dad's, especially Matty the wonder Daddy, and celebrating the June and July birthdays (Aunt Sue, Uncle Dan, Aunt Allyson, Ian and Paige).  

Best Daddy ever!

Luke holding Gram's hand, cute!  Notice how wet she is from giving hugs to a wet kid!

Lots of people and dogs enjoying the pool!

Dad's Father's Day gift from the kids - "What happens at Grandpa's stays at Grandpa's"!  That's for sure!  I have a sneaky suspicion it involves dessert and cartoons:)

Birthday cakes.  The candles were a little hard to keep lit outside, but these actors and actresses are doing a fine job pretending they're all lit.

Pushing the kids on the swings, a perfect job for Grandma and Grandpa!

I'll leave you with this cute clip of Luke one night during the week scootching along with an inner tube around his ankles and around his neck.  He is starting to do the funniest things!
