Carbon Dance Classic

Neither of my girls danced last year and I've missed it so much.  They both decided they wanted to do dance and gymnastics this year and have absolutely loved it.  This past weekend was the Carbon Dance Classic.  Kadence performed 4 different numbers and Kinlee performed 2.  They both did amazing and and performed so well.  Dance Technica earned the Grand Champ award for the highest number of points.  Kadee took 1st in You Always Make Me Smile (Jazz), high gold in 5 more hours (hip hop), high gold and best technique in Dream Big (ballet), and 1st in Happy (tap).  Kinlee's team took 1st in I want you back (tap) and 2nd in Crazy Little Thing Called Love (ballet).  Their recital is in a couple weeks and I am so excited for the family to see how much they've learned and how far they've come. 

Connor went on the scout Spring Camporee overnight trip on Friday.  They went to the swinging bridge and he had a blast.  He won a really nice leather-man, flashlight, and scout handbook.  He slept in a tent all by himself and forgot the stakes, the wind blew that night and blew his tent over.  He said that was the only time he got nervous or cold.  Other than that it was a success and he can't wait for the next over-nighter.  One of his scout leaders, brother Wells, told me how well behaved Connor was and how impressed he was that Connor got up in front of the group to share the scout oath. 

Connor and Kinlee both got kudos club this week.  Connor's was from his Science teacher for making a positive effort and for doing well on his science test. Kinlee's was for improving on DIBELS.  They are all testing this week, Kinlee is doing DIBELS and end of year testing while Connor and Kadence are SAGE testing.  All the end of year activities are upon us and we have a crazy couple of weeks coming up.

I finally finished up the flowers I've been working on for No Grave Unadorned.  We ended up doing over 450 flowers! My fingers hurt but it feels so good to provide service.
