Congrats On Stage Girls

So we just had Champions competition and although this competition was insane crazy it turned out very well. This is only the second year that I have taken my modern teams to competition and this is a tough one. All my teams perform on the stage which I love so much better than the gym but we are always up against amazing teams. My piece entitled "Eleanor Rigby" with begining, intermediate, and advanced dancers took 1st place and Overall Grand Champions hooray. My "Mysteries of the Bicycle" took third don't worry will make a come back haha! And my intermediate "Bim Bom" took first and I won the Choreography award. I was so excited about that I have never won that kind of award before it makes me want to challenge myself and the girls to press even harder. Overall our studio did very well we are getting better and better each year. It is exciting to see the growth. I hope our next competition goes even better!

Flat Tanley went to Aunt Jayn's

Flat Talon goes to Idaho

This is one of my favorite things that my kids

Preschool Teacher does. This month the have

learned all about mail. She lets them make a paper

portrait of themselves and send it to whoever they

choose. They go on a field trip to the UPS store and

get to mail it. This year Flat Talon got to go see

his Cousins in Grace. He was so excited when he saw

of course Trevor and the tractor! I had to laugh about

the porta potty that would so be my Brothers idea. I

am just glad to see our farm is moving up in the world with

a high tech plastic porta potty. The porta potty when I was

there was a wooden shack that you weren't sure what

was lurking behind and beneathyou not to mention if it was

going to be still standing when you finished!

Thanks guys you did a great job he and his

class loved them!

Stay tuned to see where Flat Tanley goes!

Loven My Kids

FIRE!

So I feel so ridiculous. I guess this is just a lesson for me
not to zone my kids out haha. This is the story. I was in
the kitchen cooking dinner. I had stuff in the oven and I
went to cook stuff on the stove top well I thought I had
turned the back burner on but I turned the front burner
on. Out of habit I got done looking at the dinner in the oven
and put the oven mitt on the stove. Yes the front burner.
I went into the living room cause I was sucked into this
movie that was on. Tanley came in and said Mom fire and
I was like ya uh huh. She walked back into the kitchen and
came in again and said mom fire and I was like what then she
yelled Fire. Ty and I both ran to the kitchen sure enough the
oven mitt was on fire. I couldn't stop laughing. Ty grabbed it
and through snow on it. Needless to say Ty finally got our smoke
detectors up just a good thing I have a smart daughter haha!

Special Thanks!

Just wanted to let my family know how much
I appreciate them for taking our kids the week
we were in Cancun. It is nice not to worry about
them. They had so much fun. You guys are
awesome! Thanks again!
