early birthday party for Paige

We are usually in Utah every year for Paige's birthday. This year, she wanted to have an early party with her AZ friends. We went swimming, had cupcakes and pizza and did some fun crafts. (altered frames and notebooks) Paige loved it and I hope the girls did too!

birthday wishes to my bff

Happy Birthday wishes to my bff Amanda!

It seems like yesterday when we became friends in junior high but it’s really been 21 years ago. She is one of the kindest and most thoughtful people I know. I’m so grateful for her and our friendship. I hope she has an awesome day and I can't wait to see her in a couple of weeks.
Love ya A !

too many choices...

it's too hard to choose my favorite this early, but these are my faves so far:

Vitolio- he's awesome!

Randi- she's one of my favorite girls. Cute as all get out...aren't her and Evan adorable? They remind me of Gev and Courtney from last year. And she's representin' Utah!

Phillip- so unique, can't wait to see him do other stuff. Twitch was able to pull off the other styles, do you think he will too?
Kupono- great dancer and I just like his personality
Kayla- this girl is fierce! After last week, I still can't believe the girl never danced ballroom...she's a favorite
Jeanine- she won me over with that hip hop routine with Philip last week. Loved it!

Hip Hop is my favorite and so are Tabitha and Napoleon. Evan- Gene Kelly is my all-time favorite dancer and I love that Evan is bringing that back. I would love to see some tap.
Caitlin- Wasn't that Bollywood dance out of control good?!
Brandon- He reminds me so much of Will from last season. I can't wait to see more. I'm still mad as all get out that Mia Michaels was so rude to him...I have a feeling she'll be eating her words :) Brandon dances with Odyssey Dance at The Pointe Academy in Utah. I know who Darcey's rooting for :)

Ade- This guy can jump so high! His dance last week with Melissa was so good!
and last but certainly not least Melissa the ballerina. I have to admit, I can't take my eyes off of her incredible feet when she dances. She's 29 and dances like she's 19...it's inspiring!

It's that time again...

I LOVE this show!
I've watched every summer, it just keeps getting better and better. The dancers this year are exceptionally good...how can I possibly choose a favorite?!
Watching them perform makes me miss dance way too much...


Who's your favorite dancer?

summer fun

Yesterday we made our first visit to the Arizona Science Center. The kids loved it and we can't wait to go back. We found out about this Lego exhibit and we had to check it out. (Braden is obsessed with Legos)
The passes were free, the kids were entertained, we were in an air conditioned building...that's what I call a good day :)






















Swimming is a big part of summer for us, we swim everyday and love it. Hope everyone is having a great summer so far. All you moms out there, I hope you haven't lost it yet with your kids...it's too early to do that :)
