Thanksgiving Point Dance Competition

Sunday, February 28, 2016


On Saturday Hannah participated in her first dance competition at Thanksgiving Point. We debated back and forth whether or not we should put her in the competition team, but Hannah loves to dance and she needed to do something hard, so we went for it. She has loved every minute and never complains about the practices every week.

She was not nervous at all and could not understand why her team was, I tried to explain that not everyone was like her and as soon as she puts her mind to something there is no stopping her. Their first routine was their Jazz routine and they did so good, you never would have known it was any of their first competition. Hannah came off stage with a huge smile on her face telling me should couldn't wait for their next routine, Lyrical.

Lyrical was also amazing and they ended up getting overall team in Lyrical, which is a really big deal for a team who has never competed before. We are all so proud of their hard work and grateful for good coaches. They told us that as soon as the girls came off the stage they were all hugging and telling each other good job. They are just the best group of girls and I am happy we decided to have Hannah join.


Routine #1 Jazz - Bang Dem Sticks



Routine #2 Lyrical - Somewhere Only We Know

It is now Saturday and we are all waiting very patiently for your arrival tonight, I hope you had fun and are not to sore from your 52 miles of hiking.  Here at home Hannah is currently curled up in our bed crying, she swears she isn't tired but I am thinking she is.  Stubborn little bug probably will fight it and be cranky all day.  I didn't make it out of bed this morning to take the kids to the parade, thankfully they are oblivious to missing anything since they do not even know there is an actual celebration for Pioneer Day (thank you Kansas).  As far as sleeping goes I didn't do too bad, I think my mind was so occupied with the house hunting stuff it didn't have time to worry about snakes, demons, or serial killers breaking into my house.  Although early this morning around 5 I heard a motorcycle, every time I hear one I think it might be you coming home, but this seemed strange to me hearing it so early.  For a minute I wondered if someone was going to break into the garage and steal yours so I quickly checked the door and it was locked.  I only worried because it sat idling outside for quite awhile and you know how my mind works.
We have had some fun while you were gone and thankfully the days have gone by quickly, I only hope today is the same.


We pulled out the slip n slide and swimming pool and the sidekicks played for hours.  They did manage to put a hole in the slip in slide but it was a pretty cheap thing to begin with.


That night after they were done playing with finally hit the snow cone shack and the fruit stand, the cherries and raspberries were delicious and we devoured them, especially Hannah who when snuggled up to me at night began to sound like a little motorboat.


Speaking of Hannah, the little bugger cut her hair again so on Thursday while out running errands we took her in to have it cut.  I know you like her long hair but I think this length is really cute on her and she can't chew on the back which saves the screaming when I am trying to brush it.


Friday we met Mistie and her kids at the dinosaur museum and then spent the rest of the day at their house so the kids could play.  They all had so much fun and cried when it was time to leave, Hannah didn't even make it to the main road before she was sound asleep in the back seat.  I of course enjoyed the adult conversation, I am so grateful to have such wonderful friends and cousins because your cousins married amazing women.  Next year when you all embark on your next big hike I am planning a big girls weekend.


Did I mention we miss you?  The sidekicks keep asking when you will be home and I keep telling them soon.  We haven't planned our adventure yet today but I think we will at least take in the firework show tonight, maybe you will be home in time to join us.

Love you!!

Tuesday we picked up Grandma Davidson at Thanksgiving Point, we have never been so we thought it would be the perfect chance to check it out.  We enjoyed looking at the beautiful gardens, waterfalls, and wondering through the shops.  Now that June is over we are hoping to find time to go back and visit the dinosaur museum.
