2010 DANCE RECITAL

Another year of dance has come and gone! We had a lot of fun this year, as always. And as always, the girls worked really hard. The girls had there recital on the 26th of May at Madison High School. It's a good thing that I get to see the dances at the basket ball half time performances because when it comes to competitions and recital I am so busy helping girls change costumes and hair do's that I always miss everything.

Madi had 3 dances this year. She did a Jazz, Hip Hop, and Character. All 3 VERY different. I think her favorite was the Hip Hop and that one they learned in only 2 weeks. She was FLAWLESS when she performed it!! :)

This is the girls after the recital!! Such posers!!

My two nieces also took dance with our girls this past year. We had so much fun having family to hang out with!! We will miss them next year!!

GREAT job girls!! Keep up the good work!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADI!! :0

Madi turned 11 on the 12th of May!! (I know....that was a month ago!! But like I said, life has been INSANE!! :) We are so greatfull for Madi. She is such a fun outgoing girl. She loves dance and loves to socialize. She is always making us laugh and we LOVE her so much!! We had been in Utah all weekend at Lagoon for dance. We got home Sunday afternoon and had a little birthday party for her with our family and friends!! (A BIG thanks to all those who came, and we missed those who weren't able to make it!!! :)

Madi didn't have many requests for gifts.

She got some very cute clothes. LOTS of scrap book supplies, which she did ask for. Some money from Grandma's and Grandpa's, AND.......

Justin Bieber!! Well......not Justin himself, but his CD!! She was SUPER excited!! :)

Like I said, she didn't have many requests for gifts. But one thing she did want was a cell phone, and since I am such a GREAT mom and don't like to disappoint, I came through!! Her birthday cake................a CELL PHONE!!! Ha!!

Not exactly what she had in mind!! But hey, what can I say??!! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADZ!!

LAGOON!!

Things have been so crazy at our house this past couple of months and we have had so much going on. We had 3 dance competitions in the month of May. The first one was in Malad, the 2nd Roy Utah, and the last and biggest was at Lagoon. We had SOOOOO much fun!! We went down Friday after noon and did some shopping and then stayed the night with Bryan's aunt and uncle that live in Roy. We LOVE that they let us crash at there house. It is so much fun to visit and catch up. We only get to see them once or twice a year, usually when we go down for dance!!
Madi didn't have to dance till 3:00 on Saturday. It was really nice to not have a rushed morning. We got up, got ready, and headed to Lagoon about 10. The weather was SUPER nice and the kids just rode rides all day. Madi had 3 dances and they did AWESOME!! There Diva dance, the one in the red rhinestone costume, was up against 9 other teams. Diva took 1st place AND a High Gold, which means they scored higher than a 98%. (The total is 100%) Their Gettin' Ready Rag dance took 1st place, and their Work It (Hip Hop) took 2nd!! We were VERY HAPPY about gettin a 2nd place on the Hip Hop since they learned it only 2 weeks before Lagoon.
We left Lagoon about 8:30 and went to dinner at Cracker Barrell!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE that place!! We got a hotel Saturday night and it was no nice!! After dinner the kids went to the pool and swam for ever!! They finally kicked us out about 11:45 p.m. It didn't take long for the kids to fall asleep. They slept hard, but were up at 7:00 Sunday morning and back down to the pool!! It was so nice to be able to sleep in and take our time getting home!! We had such a GREAT weekend!!

BOWLING :)

OK, so I am SUPER behind!! We have had SOOOO much going on this last month that I have had NO time to post. I will get all caught up, I promise!! :) A few weeks ago our Rexburg and Rigby offices had a night at the REX!! They called it "Bowling Extravaganza"!! The kids LOVED it!! I have only been to the REX to see a movie!! We had a fun night of bowling and pizza!!

Wyatt getting ready for his STRIKE!!

Yes, Oakleigh is so big!! She wanted to be in the action just like everyone else!! She didn't do too bad!! (I probably wouldn't either if I had that tool to roll my ball down and the bumper pads!! Ha Ha!! )

The kids also got to enjoy the bouncy toys!!

I LOVE this girl!! She is such a little cheeser!! She cracks me up!! She is talking so good and LOVES to sing!! She is 2 yrs and 3 months and potty trained!! I am LOVING that!! She is growing up so fast!! :)

WOW!

What a truly AMAZING and INSPIRATIONAL story!! If we could all be as greatful and appreciative for what we have.
