Princess Dance Workshop

Emily and I took Wendy and her friend Sam to a Princess Dance Workshop at a dance studio in Idaho Falls. They had princess ballerina and tumbling lessons, princess "tea and crumpets", an art project where they made their own crowns, and they even got their faces painted. The girls had so much fun! It lasted about 2 1/2 hours and they were entertained and happy the whole time. Afterwards we went to Kiwi Loco for some frozen yogurt. They were so happy that they sang all the way home!

Double Digits

Dance Try-Outs

Try-Outs were held for dance on Saturday. They were very intense. They had three days to learn a certain routine. Emily practiced with two other girls and they worked so hard! They practiced several hours each day. The morning of try-outs Emily told me she was, "nervous to the bone". Once her turn in front of the judges was over she was so relieved and felt like she did great! Her hard work paid off today when the mail came with a congratulations letter! She is so excited to be able to enjoy another great dancing season! Each of the girls she practiced with made it on the team as well which made her even more excited.

Memorial Day

The Robison's were nice enough to invite all the family out to their new house for a barbeque on Memorial Day and we had such a great time! They had so much food and Travis grilled us the most delicious steaks. The weather was pretty nice so the kids had fun running around outside, blowing bubbles, and playing on the swing-set. It felt wonderful to have us all together for the day!

Deer in the Neighborhood

While we were in the car driving to church this morning we spotted a deer running down the road. So, I did the only sane thing to do in that situation......followed it while taking video out the window of my car! The kids were so excited and thought it was the greatest thing ever!

I didn't capture the deer until about the 8 second mark.......oops!

Math Wiz

Today was the last day of school awards ceremony and Emily received a Math Wiz Award which included a certificate and a medal. Only one was given out per class and her teacher said she looked at a combination of ISAT math scores and math work throughout the year to determine who received the award. Way to go Emily, we are so proud of you!
