43 dancers with 71 kids from 4 different states...

Last night was the big game! It was so much fun! Just being in that atmosphere brings back so many fun memories! We danced a routine during the first quarter break and then threw the little balls to the crowd and danced "Great balls of fire" with the current dancers during the 4th quarter. We had a lot of fun!



Travis got to sit in really great seats, thanks to Jason and Holly. Thanks you guys! He was front and center for the performance. Holly and Hannah sat in the other seats they have and at halftime I was able to run up and see them!


Here we are just before the routine started. There were alot of us and we took up the whole floor!


This is the Jazz Dancers director and coach, Jan and my friend Brandy. We took a lot of pictures in the locker room while we got ready.


This is Cristina and Kellie. They are both amazing dancers and have so much personality!


Me, Sandy and Melissa...Sandy has 4 kids now and Melissa has 3!


Brandy, Lara, Kendra, me and Lindsey...Lara traveled from Grand Junction, CO to make this performance!

All of us former dancers had tons of catching up to do and I loved learning what everyone was up to these days and seeing pictures of thier kids. Everyone is still in great shape and we all did pretty good on the routine! We hear they may have us back next year for a big halftime show...I would love to do this again!

Our "beach" vacation, minus the sun and surf!

Over Valentine's Day weekend, we went to Myrtle Beach with a group of friends to have a fun time and run in a 5K. I knew it wouldn't be very warm, but we sure didn't expect this....SNOW! It snowed about 4 inches, which isn't a huge deal to us here but it hasn't snowed there in 10 years! It was pretty crazy. Despite the snow, it was one of the funnest trips we have ever had! We laughed and talked and had great meals and silly moments. It was a trip that was much needed for me, without the kids! I needed a break and it was just perfect!

What we did on our Summer Vacation!

We went to Myrtle Beach, SC for a week at the first of June. We had so much fun! We went with our friends Jason and Holly and their kids. They have a beautiful beach house that we all stayed in. It was only 12 housed away from the beach! What an awesome part of the country. There is a lot of history there and we got to see just a little bit of it. So interesting! Hopefully one day we can go back and do some more! Thanks Williams' for inviting us along!

Red Roses and girls night!

While I was at work today, a floral delivery man pulled into our snow-laden parking lot and I spotted him through the window. My heart danced with anticipation wondering who they could be for. It is always so exciting when flowers are delivered to our salon because you always hope they are for you! This time they were for me! My darling husband sent me the most beautiful bouquet of red roses with a hand written card telling me how much he loves me. It really made me feel special since he is clear across the country on a trip with some work friends.

Since our better halves are out of town, my fun friend, Holly, and my surprisingly single friend, Kelsey, went out on the town for an early dinner. Hoping to beat the crowds, we went first to Tepanyaki only to find out that the wait was already 1 1/2 to 2 hours. What? They opened at 4:00 and we got there at 4:15. We decided that was seriously too long to wait. We then ventured over to Corbin's and since we didn't have a reservation, they couldn't get us in until 8:30. Again, too long! We settled for Rooster's, and even though I have some horrible memories of an after-Rooster's experience, (you know what I am talking about, Jenny) the food was good and the company was great! It didn't beat dining with Travis, but my fun friends were a great replacement! Thanks Hol and Kels!
