Tap Intensive 2010

Mackenzie & her friend Bryant
Mike Minery and Mackenzie

SC Tap Intensive 2010


Mackenzie with Brittany C.!!

Mackezie and Mrs. Brenda!

Mackenzie attended the 2010 SC Tap Intensive again this year! I absolutely love this intensive. The instructors are fantastic and they always do such a great job with the kids! Mackenzie always learns SO much in the two days she is there, it simply amazes me!




Where did I leave off.....

I guess I left off at the dance rectial where I messed up my leg.... Well here is Mackenzie in her hip hop costume from this year... I am not sure WHY I have no picture of her in her tap costume but oh well!

Dance 2010
We are very proud of the dancer she has become!! She worked hard and it really shows! It is hard to believe that this was her 7th year of dance though. One of these days I am going to post her dance pictures through the years!

Catching up

Once again, I have let my blog take a back burner to many other things. Facebook is the main thing.. I am addicted I think. It is so nice being able to keep in touch with so many people! Hopefully now that school has once again started I will be able to keep up.. again!

You have waited long enough...

For an update that is...

School is out, summer is officially here!! The temps here are in triple digits and the humidity is CRAZY...

Jordan and Mackenzie both passed their grades, and I now have rising 7th and 4th graders! WOW! Time really flies! Mackenzie finished her 7th year of dance, her first year of competition dance, and had a blast the entire year. We went to 3 competitions and they got 2 golds and one PLATINUM!! We are very proud of the dancer she has become!

Jordan has become quite the little man around our house. He has become an awesome cook, and has really started helping his dad with the yards and anything else that Marty can talk (or con) him into doing!

I thought once school was out, our lives would slow down a little, NOT....Kenzie is taking summer dance classes and Jordan has started conditioning for football. I am working early hours so I can be done early enough to head to the pool! We want to soak up as much summer as we possibly can! We are so ready for vacation and counting down the days! No work and all play and we cannot wait!!

Dancing & Savvy

FIRST of all Savvy is having a giveaway today and it is awesome!!! this site has a lot of great photography hints & products! Check them out! www.thesavvyphotographer.blogspot.com

Second, this weekend wrapped up Mackenzie's year of dance, and OH what a year it was! Lots of practice, three competitions, 3 recitals, lots of pictures, makeup, hairspray, and bobby pins later, we are done for a few weeks anyway! This year was bittersweet. Lots of the seniors that we are very close to are graduating and will be very missed. Mackenzie and I were doing the ugly cries last night along with everyone else when these girls had their Senior Spotlight. I mean snubbing! It was not pretty there for a little bit. THANK GOD FOR WATERPROOF MASCARA is all I can say.

As a bonus, several mom & daughter groups participated in a mom and daughter dance. It was so much fun. The song was "I got it from my momma" and "We are family"(Chipmunk version) and it was great. It went off without a hitch, or so everyone thought. Just as the dance was beginning, I heard something in my leg POP....Then I felt it... OMG, I was in pain.. But I couldnt disappoint my daughter, and the show must go on, RIGHT? So I sucked it up (and limped a little) and made it through. It was so fun, and I was very thankful to see my chair when it was over! The look on Jordan's face on the front row was priceless. I am not sure if he was proud of us or thankful that it was Mackenzie up there and not him. Several of my dearest friends were in the audience cheering us on as we definatly shook what our momma gave us! One even yelled at me from the balcony (luv ya Matt)! I hope this is one little memory I can give my children that they never forget. No matter what... I will ALWAYS be there for them (and sometimes be on stage with them too)
