Weekend of Really High's and Really Low!

This weekend I have been so overly Happy and I have been really sad as well!

It all began on Friday. Friday we had a solo Competitions at Spanish fork High school. My studio took 18 solos, duets, and Trios. All of My dancers took 1st or 2nd place and 1 3rd! Two of my dancers(one being my niece) won Overall high point in Mini, and Junior divisions. This is the highest score out of the whole competition. The Overall High Point Queen wins a 3ft. Trophy, a 6ft Trophy a Tiara, and a sash, so we were way excited!

The Next Day we had our Teams competition. All of my dancers danced their hearts out. I was so proud of them! We ended up with mostly 1st and 2nd places. We also took home Mini Overall Grand champs, Junior 2nd place overall Champs, and Teen 2nd Place overall Champs, and Mini overall High Point award.(Winning a 6 fot Trophy!). Very Fun! My sister Candice took her Drill Team from Rockwell to the competition as well. They couldnt compete with the UHSAA because it was their first year. They took all 1st places and Teen Overall Grand Champions! It was exciting for both of us to be doing so well(not to mention my teams are hers as well and I couldnt do it without her!) What a Day!

Sunday My husband tells me that a member of the Bishopbric was coming to meet with me. Come to find out I have been Released from Young Womens :( I was very saddened by this news and this was the low of my weekend. I am going to miss this calling and the girls Terribly.

I guess they take after me!

so This competition that we compete at sent us a DVD of a guy dancing and they want our dancers to learn the dance and pay 5 bucks and compete the dance at the competition. Well I gave the DVD to Trevin and he decided to put it in my computer and try to learn it himself I recorded him watching the DVD and trying to do the dance! Please dont mind Graydin picking his nose at the beginning!(that part he must get from his dad! jk) Graydin also thought he would take a stab at it!

Any women interested in playing softball?

Hey Rich and Kirby are on a Coed softball team that plays on Monday nights in Riverton. They are in need of some women to play on their team. Is there any women out there that would love to play??

My Little Boy is Growing Up!

Trevin has had quite the month and I have come to realize that .....My little boy is growing up. Rich, Trevin, and their friends Braiden and Marc Smith went on a little overnighter trip to Moab. They enjoyed staying in the hotel and going on little hikes! Of course Trevin was so excited about the little trip that he made himself sick(he does this alot, whenever there is a big occasion for him).

In the beginning of March my sister had her long awaited adoption of her kids. The day after we got to witness the special sealing of her kids. Trevin and Graydin of course had to wait in the waiting room wich brought a lot of questions about temples to Trevin. (Doesnt he look cute in his little suit!) Dad and Trev took time to pose for pics at the temple. The above pic is Trevin and his 3 month older cousin Makaylee aren't they cute. soooooooooooooooo............

Anyway, because of the so many question that Trevin had about the temple (I think he gets the 100 question thing from his dad and grandpa) Rich and I decided to take him to the temple open house. We started at the church house where he asked questions all through the info movie, then we rode the bus to the temple, and walked through the temple and answered more of trevins questions and then ended in another church house for trevins favorite cookies and pictures. Trevin was so reverent. I have never seen a 4 yr old so interested in that kind of stuff he is going to be one good missionary someday. The cutest thing was when we walked into the babtismal room he saw the font and said "Look mom, they have a hot tub too".

It's Competition Time!!!

Well Competition season has officially started! We had our first competition on Friday and Saturday and let me tell you I lost sleep over the anticipation of it. This year was the biggest Dance competition that Thanksgiving point has ever had. It was 3 days long with over 35 different dance studios. I was pretty scared to go because I knew we were going to be dancing against some of Utahs most recognized dance studios. The reason I was scared is because I knew the dance teams that we would be competing against take dance anywhere from 4 to 17 hours a week and My teams only dance from 1 to 3 hours a week. Friday Night we had 13 solos, duets, and trios compete. We left the night with 10 1st place queens and 3 2nd places! I thought wow that is awesome! On Saturday we went to compete teams. I took 127 dancers to the competition. We competed 24 team dances. I was very happy to take home 13 1st place ribbons and 11 2nd place ribbons.
The highlights of the day is when they announced the overall winners! They give the top 4 scores in each level throughout the whole day a Trophy and The top 3 Overall best studios a Trophy. In The novice level there were 63 teams and in Beginning there were 70 Teams. To my surprise my little 6 yr olds won Overall high points in the Novice level and then my 7&8yr old team won Overall High points in the Beginning Level. My sister Candice's team also won one of the Overall High points in the Beginning level. I was so thrilled! Then.....We also Won overall best studio in both the Novice and Beginning levels!!
I am still on cloud nine and I can't wait for our next competition at the end of the month!

Thank you to everyone who came to support us and a special thanks to all my dance instructors for teaching these girls so well!
Also, Thanks to my sis Candice because I could not do this without you!! And My sweet husband for supporting me in doing what I love!!! I love all of my dancers so much you are the best!
That my friends is my speech!
