With recital this weekend I thought I would share these beautiful pictures Genna took of her sister in an old recital costume . Sunday May 5th Genna and Caraline have their recital. This is Caralineβs 7th year in dance and Gennaβs 11th year in dance. I am so proud of them. Even when they feel that others do not notice how hard they work I just want you both to know that mom notices and mom is so unbelievably proud. Watching you both over the years has been amazing. I know no matter what you choose in the future you will have fun and you will work hard. I love you both! If you want to come see Caraline and Genna this Sunday there are 2 shows Sunday we would love to see you!ππ©°π #GennavieveElaine #CaralineGrace #dancingmartynowiczgirls #danceyearsgoneby #proudmama #Iseeyourhardwork #mydancers
Caralineβs class made their eclipse glasses really cool for the solar eclipse viewing. She has the best teacher and the best school!

Happy 9th birthday to my sweet, beautiful, funny, sassy, smart, and loving baby girl Caraline Grace. She is such a blessing to her daddy, brother, sisters and I. It seems like 9 years have flown by. She continues to amaze me each year with all she learns and the way she loves. I love watching her grow in the things she enjoys. I canβt wait to see what this year holds for her. No matter what it is I know she is going to be amazing. #CaralineGrace #happybirthday #decemberbirthdays #mybabygirl #babyofthefamily #yearnine
Yes, her tent and Barbie house are in the living room and it used to drive me crazy that we do not have a play room, but she is the last one who has toys everywhere, the last one who plays make believe, and the last one to believe in mermaids and fairies and all the magical things. So I will enjoy her being little. With all her things in the living room. Baby dolls and Barbie dolls everywhere because I know as well as anyone it last for a short time and my sweet girl, the baby of our family will be 9 on Friday. So let her be little and wild and play make believe I will because soon there will be no toys and no noise and that is the day my heart will truly ache. #amothersthoughts #watchingmychildrengrow #babyofthefamily #littlegirl #caralinegrace

I seriously love my girls! And when I say my girls I mean alll of my cheerleaders. My Caraline has been having a rough go of it lately with friends and not really knowing where she stands and these girls, my girls, my cheerleaders; they literally just show her so much love! They had her go over with them to meet the Parchment cheerleaders @parchmentcheer (who we LOVE!!) and let her introduce herself as part of the team. You girl will never know what big impact you have on her and other little girls her age! I am proud of you all and love you all so much! Thank you. Love, Coach V. #chieftaincheer #dowagiaccheerleaders #proudcoach #caralinegrace #cheerfriends #cheerleaders
Something I tell my kids all the time. Sometimes people wonβt like you simply because they canβt handle your personality and the way you shine without realizing it. If that is the case they were never your friend to begin with. And that my dear is not your problem. Hold your head high and keep doing what you do. Not everyone is meant for you!π #ameliarose #gennavieveelaine #brevinjace #caralinegrace
