Anuual Camp Out

Great time with friends. Fresh air. S'mores. Dutch Oven Cobbler for breakfast. A chance to get away from it all.

Lunch date with Dad

Garrett took all the kids out for lunch and ice cream while I enjoyed a lunch out with my girlfriends. When he dropped them off, they were COVERED in icecream and had the BIGGEST smiles on their faces. I wish I got a picture of all of them.

Art Time...Snack Time

Finger painting with pudding became a delicious snack idea too.

Ballerina

Another Season of Dance is to begin. This year we will be in a new studio, which I am very excited about.

I am so grateful to my parents for making me learn now to dance. Even those times when I kicked and screamed and tried to talk or cry my way out of it. It is now something that I cherish and can pass on to my children. Thank you Mom for insisting and seeing something that I couldn't.

Who knew I would get my degree in dance and open my very own dance studio. All I wanted to learn was a little coordination and grace. Who knew "movement" would play such a huge role in my life.

Live. Love. Dance.
