Wow, it's been a long time...
I am kind of embarrassed at how long it has been since I have updated this blog! I have been meaning to for a long time but things just keep coming up and I don't take the time. I also haven't been feeling the blogsphere as much as I used to. I will post a few highlights and hopefully it will get me back into the groove. I try to update Facebook with all the pictures and stuff that has been gong so hopefully you are my friend there. :)
Easter kids.
Darth Vader (Micah) turned 8! We went to Utah this summer and he got baptized there.
The very last day of her dance showcase.
We celebrated 13 years.
Picture Day. 2nd grade and 5th grade!
I've been able to hang with Billy Corgan for a few events. This was for Smashing Pumpkins' 25th Anniversary. Original Zero shirt and Gish guitar.
I got to go back home for a quick weekend to see M and D. I was also able to travel to Baltimore to see some friends and we went to Michigan for a weekend trip.
I was a skeleton this year.
The cutest Jack Sparrow and Devil around.
Coco was a punk rock zebra and he wasn't a big fan.

St. Paddy's Day
I did something really simple because we were gone at dance the whole day before, so green Rice Krispie treats were pretty easy. :) We hope everyone had a fun green day.
Bravo Dance Competition
Another dance competition! This time it was very crazy because she was in 3 numbers instead of one and for 2 of the the new dances she just finished learning the choreography a couple days before. It was in Crystal Lake, which is an hour north.
Posing and practicing for her dance Amazing Grace. My favorite costume so far!
With her friend Kayla.
Getting ready for Party Time and with Kayla and Missy.
Taking a break and eating with friends. It was another ALL day thing and we had a lot of downtime waiting for our turn.
This is for her production number Yeah! They didn't finish putting the rhinestones on the costumes, and the dance isn't completely finished yet. They have some more work to do before next month!
Steven and Micah came to watch 2 of her dances that were pretty close together so they didn't have to be there all day, they will catch the 3rd one next time. She loves when she people come to see her dance. :)
Me and my little dancer at the end of the day. She did an amazing job and all of her parts looked perfect. :)
Her dances won 3 gold awards and the studio received some choreography awards. I will admit, she was disappointed they didn't get a platinum, but the judges were really tough and there was a lot of hard competition there. She was still happy with how she danced. Until next month!

Snow Day!
The kids were so excited to finally get a snow day. It hasn't snowed very much this winter, so it was about time. They didn't have school or dance and welcomed the break. :)
Tribute Dance Competition
2 weeks ago she had her first dance competition in Illinois! It has been a big transition from going from her last smaller dance studio to this very big one. It's a bit overwhelming for both of us! She had to get new warm ups and makeup case (which she loves). Her choreography is more technical and so is the hair and makeup, but we both made it through. :p
We have to rhinestone their head! haha It really looked cool on stage. She is a perfect little model. :)
She starts out their dance as the first person on stage and has a solo part, she was very nervous but she did an amazing job! We had lots of time between call time and when she actually performed so I had lots of time to take pictures. :)
These are just a few of the dancers that are in her number Party Time. Lots of the girls are in hip-hop has well, so they were competing with other numbers. The Xtreme studio had 29 numbers and they all placed really well. Woo hoo!
Stage!
Pep talk from Sam, the studio director.
Micah and Steven came to watch her perform and then left after. It was about an hour south of where we live, but we were there all day and they would have never lasted. haha She was very happy they came to watch.
Alexis and I got there at 9 am and finally left at 8:15 p.m. I had such a bad cold and it was a rough day but I was so proud of her. She missing the girls from AZ and I was missing the Moms, but we have met some nice people. Below here we are at the end of the night right before awards. I look less exhausted in black and white. haha :) She won a 1st place award for their category and a 4th place award overall in their division. We have another one coming up next weekend!

Valentine's Day
Our cute sweethearts ready for v-day. :)
I made them pink heart waffles with strawberries for breakfast.
Valentine's presents!
I got these chocolates for free from Victoria's Secret with my purchase. They didn't taste that great but they look pretty. haha
We had to get Coco something too. We will love him furever. :p
This isn't a great picture, but Alexis made the banner for the mantel and it completed our holiday decorations. :)
My Mom made a pink dinner ever year when I was growing up, so I decided to carry on that tradition this year. :) Baked chicken with a raspberry sauce. pink potatoes, beets and red gatorade. We had a lovey day. ♡
