TUTU FUN!

Halie officially started dance class today! I was a little nervous about the whole situation. (If any of you recall Micah's reaction when starting anything ... you will know why!) But she did great! I have been thinking about signing her up for a while... and finally decided that both her and Micah are growing up way to fast and she is only going to be cute and little for a short while so better now than later!

So last week I went and got her little leotards... tutu's....tights.... etc! It was fun... I even made a few tutu's (to save a few bucks!)....

So today was the day... we got up... got ready... Halie was a little nervous and kept asking if she was going to play with babies at dance class! I had to explain to her it was a little different than nursery!

So we got there and she was all decked out... a little over dressed I found out! Oops ( I couldn't help myself) One of the mom's asked if that was the outfits for the spring recital.... "No it's just what she's wearing to practice in"....
BUT SHE DID SO GOOD!
I expected crying... clinging.... and none of that happened... after a few seconds she wondered out and stood on her yellow star and listened closely to what the teacher was saying. She followed along... a few steps behind everyone but hey atleast she was out there! It was fun! Afterwards we went to the library and she told my cousin "My dance class fun Cara"... so as long as she enjoys it I will keep her in the class!

At Home... practicing... which is funny... all I knew to tell her was stand on your star.... twirl in a circle... tap your toes!Holy cow she is following directions! Oh I was so proud!

This was the tap portion of the class... the other girls changed into their tap shoes... Halie decided to take her tutu off... and then she was looking for her tap shoes... good thing I had her little "jewel shoes" in my purse... she did not know the difference! (So she was suppose to be standing on the yellow star... she got a little distracted looking at herself in the mirror!)Her pink and brown tutu!

I miss my friend!

So I am sure you have seen pix of my friend Ashley on my blog.... she is like my kids second mother.... and my best friend! Well a week ago she moved away... to Salt Lake :(... sad!... but happy too! Does that make sense? I am so happy for her. She is getting married in a few months and her fiance is going to school at the U so she of course had to move up there!... I am happy for her but sad for me!

You know that kind of friend you can call anytime and talk about nothing and they still care... or that friend that will meet you for lunch with your wild kids every week and acts like she loves it! (haha).... or that friend that you know will tell you the truth when you try something on at the store... or the friend that would drop anything for you if you needed her.... Well that is ASHLEY! She was and still is my best friend.... now just a little harder to meet for lunch and shop with ... Ash... just wanted to let ya know that I love ya and miss ya! Can't wait to come see your cute place!
