Once March hit, our lives were full of getting Miss Brenna to dance conventions and competitions and rehearsals and trips and whewww.... it is a whirlwind in spring. But, she never, ever gets tired of dance and she has never complained about going. She is at a new studio this year and these cute girls on her team have been the best!
Brenna has been welcomed and loved and been just where she needs to be.
Her dances have been so fun to watch- she is in a lyrical, pointe, contemporary, jazz, hip hop and new to her this year- a production number, which is Bollywood themed, so super fun.
Brenna had a convention in Los Angeles to which she assured me she could go on her own, so we let her stay and do Disneyland with others that extended. She felt so very mature and we felt pretty good about it- til we started getting notices on our credit card of her purchases (ie $60 sunscreen). Girl was swiping left and right and fell in love with DoorDash. She had a great time, but we told her to hand over our card as soon as she walked off the plane. Hahaha!
She and I traveled to St George for a couple nights for a competition and blasted/scream sang Taylor Swift for the entire car ride down, so it's a good thing no one else was with us! April finished up all competitions and all that is left is the recital in May. PHEW, we (me) are exhausted!
Katelee (and Grant) also had dances- but no so much competitions, but more along the lines of school sponsored date dances. Grant went with Hailie, but he picked her up, obviously, so no pics there. Katelee got some bang for our bucks and got to wear her rented prom dress to two dances.
She went with her good friend Mason to the Riverton prom.
They were quite the stunning couple, even if Lizzy's boyfriend said Katelee's date resembled a cute golden doodle (he even provided a side by side picture to prove his point).
At FSY last summer, Katelee met a boy named Jack that she stayed in touch with. He asked her to go to his high school prom as well. So, round two for the girl in blue. It was fun, but he got sick and she ate tempura sushi...so by the end of the night they were both done.
The drivers ed department was a little behind in getting all the road driving done so Katelee had to wait A WHOLE MONTH to get her driver's license. It was traumatic for her, so we had to document the day when she finally did get it.
Spring is extremely busy for her extracurricular as well- she has practice for lacrosse everyday starting January and then games started in March- around 2 a week. Sometimes it is SOOOOO cold,
or rainy, or wet... and other times it is just beautiful....I might be rooting for Harrison to stick with basketball just so we don't have to support an outside sport in the inclement weather...esp when it's snowing. Then I feel bad complaining from my blanket as I watch the players soaked to the bone and shivering!
We love going to watch Katelee play lacrosse. She has become so fun to watch. She was hoping to make varsity, but being on the JV team has been awesome for her because he has been a key player to their team and needed all the time. She gets aggressive, makes awesome shots and is awesome!
Easter was the second week of the month and while we get so busy with all the places we run to, I am grateful to bring it all back and re-center. There were talks in conference about making Easter the most important holiday to us, to prepare our family, to put effort into leading up to it. Maybe this year I missed the boat a little, but lets see how we do next year. That's part of the beauty of Easter though- refresh, retry again and again and I am so inspired by that.
