Swan Lake!

I've emailed this to some people but I can't get over how amazing it is!! I mean really! So here is the most amazing and entertaining Swan Lake Ever!!

Playing catch up!

O.K. hear goes the update...

First Tatum.

1. Tater Tot is now crawling like crazy, it's the cutest thing ever!

2. Tatum is pulling up to tables and will stand there forever.

3. Here come the top two teeth! These ones seem to be much easier than the others.

4. We had to lower her crib twice in one week! She was sitting up and then all of a sudden I found her standing up!!

5. Tater mater will now take a Binky to help her fall asleep! Yea! Now I don't need to rock her FOREVER! She'll only take it when she's ready to sleep so that's nice.

6. She's pretty vocal and likes to do what we call "scary baby" when she growls.

She's the cutest and we can't believe that she is growing up so fast! Baby gates already!!

Alright now for the dance scene...

We went to a small local competition put on by the high school drill team as a fundraiser and had tons of fun! The girls did great and I am so proud of them! We did really well and they were mostly the youngest in each age category. It was pretty funny when it was time for awards. I forgot that these girls are not veteran competitors so I didn't explain that the one from each class gets to go up and get the trophy. So, the little ones just pushed their way to the front and just grabbed the trophies. The older girls were really good about this and just let them do it. We just have fun! The girls really liked that they got to take the trophy home until next class, some took them to school for show and tell. Now Jared has to make a trophy case.

The recital some how happened and went pretty well. I say somehow because it came really fast and I wasn't prepared. I never know how this thing comes together. The show went pretty smooth and I didn't end up in the hospital after dancing with my other teachers. I always learn more things not to do, so next year I will not procrastinate on advertising. And I'll won't send home crazy notes that don't make sense. I will pay some one to take backstage pictures. I have to apologize to family and friends for missed birthday parties and presents. I'll be better next year!!

Now for Jared. Well, they are in the middle of a long wall move so he's on straight grave yards 24/7! Rumor has it they'll be done on Friday!! YIPPIE! The over time will be nice. He cried at the recital. I tell ya, he is the biggest softy!! I don't know if he cried because I was dancing or because we dedicated our dance to a little dancer who passed away earlier this year. I love how supportive he is and I'm so glad he was able to come! I'm so lucky!

There you go!! Are you happy SARAH!!:)

All the pictures were taken with my crappy phone so sorry!!

I had so much fun at the competition. My year end show was really good. I have all these trophies and pictures of my cute dancers that I really want to blog about. So I'm really going to do it very very soon since I don't have to start dancing again until June. I have oodles of time to blog and prove to everyone that I'm the best dance teacher ever!

Posted by Sarah for Julia in the hopes that she will hurry up and blog!
