Other random September 2010....

One of the last times I was able to braid Sammy's LONG HAIR!  I did 2 into 1...

Sammy started rehearsals for the newest division of Dance Dimensions Company--"KINEDANCO"..they are affectionately referred to as the MINI's.  They even participated in their first parade 9/12/2010. It was hard and fun at the same time to be back with "my" dancers..but I was the Mom too...weird concept in my mind.  I marched and danced along with the girls and handed out pencils.Sammy got to ride on the float. One of the teachers at the studio now was one of my first students back in the early nineties..
Sammy is the first 2nd generation KINEDANCO member!  I started dancing with Kim when she bought the studio in 1992 and she started the company that year with me and 1 other dancer...it has come a long way!


MINI's

I was Emily's first dance teacher when she was 3...
She was good then..but she is amazing now

I was also Cori's first teacher..another beautiful dancer..
she was an OZ munchkin in her first recital with me at age 3...

Mason (8) and Levi's (4) Birthday Party..9/4/2010

Right after the orchard we headed over to "Auntie" Kelly's to celebrate Mason and Levi's birthday!
I still can not believe that 2 of her 4 children share a birthday 4 years apart! Crazy.

The girls even loved the awesome food and playing outside on a beautiful Indian Summer day.  Ali even figured out how to climb on the trampoline by herself.  And Andy got to drive around on the go cart too.

Apple Orchard September 4, 2010...

We my last post I just finished was actually from August...so I wills tart with September..

We took our annual trip to Johnamac Apple Orchard.  The girls had so much fun.  We all LOVE the Tsugaru apples and I think we ate about 5 while we were picking..SHHH Don't tell.

LOVE this one!

Ali did really well picking!

Look how excited she got.

Daddy using the ladder to get those last few AWESOME Tsugarus!

We even tried the apple launcher this year..and of course Sammy was afraid of it

The best attempt out of 50 pictures of the girls on the big chair.

We got apple donuts for the first time too!  YUMMY!!!!!!
