mother daughter weekend

This weekend was so much fun. Sage had a dance convention and competition in Layton. So we had a little get away... The dances were amazing and the teachers were so positive and inspiring. Sage worked her little fanny off. They had some fun too, swimming and playing in the Hotel. I think she found muscles she didn't know she had!!! This week she is speaking at the awards assembly, running for 8th grade class President and performing at Kingsbury Hall. When will life slow down?

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!!!!!
