Pre-K Prom

Some of you know that Oneida's prom was this weekend and the B&G Club was still decorated today. So, the Pre-K classes had a "prom" of their own where the kids could dance and dress up. Claire wore her blue dress from the father-daughter banquet and looked very cute! Nana was her chaperone/date for the prom. She said that Claire had a blast at the prom and kept dancing with ALL the boys!! Not just Jeric- who she often says is her "boyfriend." Once one boy would get tired of dancing, she would go off to hunt up another one to dance with.

Needless to say, her father is not too happy about this picture of his "timid, shy little girl".
At dinner tonight, he asked her if she danced with other boys. (Evidently, they had a discussion about dancing with boys this morning before school.)
Phillip: Claire, did you dance with boys at the dance today?
Claire: (grinning from ear to ear) No.
Phillip: Claire, did you dance with Jeric?
Claire: Sometimes
Phillip: Did you dance with anyone else?
Claire: No. (giggle)
Phillip: What about Sam?
Claire: Sometimes (giggle)
Phillip: Anyone else?
Claire: Maybe.


And the evasiveness begins. Thank goodness Nana was there to watch out for her.
Nana- please book your calendar for April 26, 2020, Claire's junior prom! We'll need your help!

Claire lands the plane!!

It takes a while for the videos to upload so I waited to do this one. In this video, Claire is "helping" to land the plane. It's pretty cute because she is so busy socializing, and then she remembers to pull back on the handles at the last minute. We have a ways to go before we let her land by herself!! She's much like her Mama- often too social to pay attention to the important things. Enjoy!

The Flying Jones Team

We were so lucky over Easter weekend to accompany a friend who was delivering a plane for a trip and we all got to fly to Knoxville. Alex and Claire got to fly the plane! Alex says he wants to be a pilot some day. In fact, that's all we have heard about since the trip. Below is a video of Alex flying . . . he is very proud.

We've been busy!!

Thought I'd share the Easter pictures- A &C always want to do a "crazy" one . . . this one is a little more crazy than I'd like, but if you know them. . you know it is par for the course . . . . .

Claire's First Dance Competition

For those of you who haven't seen the pictures yet, this was from Claire's dance competition on Saturday. Her group danced to "Ice Ice Baby" and were dressed up like "penguins". They were 3 points away from Platinum, which is the highest award you can get. We are sooo proud of them!! They also came home with a special award: the "cutie patootie" award- one judge gave out special awards and said that Claire "waddled like nobody's business" I have to agree- they were totally cute!
