Dance competition season

Sage and I have been spending lots of mother daughter time together lately, in fact for the past four weekends we have had loads of bonding time. I am so lucky to be Sages Mom, I am so proud of what a truly nice and talented daughter I have. Each competition has been a great experience and we have done well in each. I am always impressed with her level of dedication and how willing she is to sacrifice her time, sleep, body, and childhood, for dance. She never complains and is always so thankful for her opportunities. Here are some pictures of Her performances and the people who came to support her.

JR JAZZ

THIS SEASON JR JAZZ HAS BEEN SO MUCH FUN!!! MAX IS ON THE BUCKS AND MASON IS ON THE CAVALIERS. BOTH BOYS HAVE DONE SO WELL... MAX'S TEAM HAS ONLY LOST ONE GAME AND MASON'S HASN'T WON YET... ANYWAY IT IS SO MUCH FUN TO HAVE BOYS... THE DIFFERENCE IN THEIR PERSONALITIES IS HUGE, MAX IS DETERMINED HARD WORKING SERIOUS AND A LITTLE AGGRESSIVE ON THE COURT. MASON IS SILLY, CAREFREE, SIDETRACKED, AND PASSIVE ON THE COURT. LAST WEEK MASON'S TEAMS SCORE WAS 18-2, SEVERAL TIMES MAX'S TEAMS SCORE HAS BEEN SO HIGH THEY HAD TO TURN OFF THE SCOREBOARD. I LOVE JR JAZZ..

BASKETBALL SEASON IS OVER AND DANCE SEASON BEGINS TOMORROW!!!!!

PRESIDENTS WEEKEND IN PARK CITY

Brett and I took the kids up to our condo in Park City for the weekend. It was nice just to get away. We spent most of the weekend in the POOL, I never stepped one foot in the pool, but loved the HOT TUB... It was snowy and beautiful, we went to our favorite places to eat and toured the Olympic ski jump museum, went to the movies and relaxed. Shopping at the Outlets is not that much fun with Max and Mason, at one point Max said he was going to throw up because of the smell (you know that new clothes smell), Brett and I have always used the Park City Condo as a romantic get away (to get away from babies) well now that our kids are getting bigger, I thought lets bring them... after listening to them fight about who gets the ball in the pool and almost throwing up at the outlets and begging to go swimming 14 times in one day, I think we will from now on, use it as a get away... There is one benefit, every time Brett and I went to sit in the hot tub there would be about 10 people in there, after only a few minuets our kids were so loud and obnoxious we would have the whole place to ourselves...

SNOWMOBILING WEEKEND

We went to the cabin the last weekend in January for some R and R. Brett and John Smith took the boys on a long snowmobiling ride and got caught in a white out and thought they might be sleeping up on the mountain. Luckily the weather cleared up and they got back safely. Margie and I watched movies and played cards with the girls, and dressed them in their snow clothes 100 times... the hill to the cabin is an awesome sledding hill, so that entertained them all day. The Hot Chocolate tastes so good when its freezing cold. We finished our weekend with dinner at DICKS.

SNOWBOARDING LESSONS

Friday Brett took Sage and Max Snowboarding for the first time. They had a great day with their Dad. Brett said they both were naturals. He got some great pictures of the day... they were exhausted when they got home (they both used muscles they had no idea they had). Mason and I had a great day too, we went to Build A Bear and swimming at the Park Center. Life is Good.
