Summer has begun

It is official.

These 2 are officially a 2nd grader and a kindergartner.
It's hard to believe but I know that they are growing up and that the time is just literally flying by.

Serenity's 2011 Dance Pictures!

BLUSH

One Dance

My Serenity is an Elite Dancer for Teffany's Dance Studio.
This is a picture with her in her cover up minus the jacket.

Platinum Dance Competition

Serenity, Jaden, and Jade in the Hot Tub!

Serenity and her panda bear she won. This was the first time that she ever played a crane game. She won it from a machine at Texas Roadhouse.This is the balloon animal that Serenity had made for her at the Texas Road house as well.

This is the breakfast that we had at the Comfort Inn and Suites. Breakfast of Champions!!

OMG... U GUYS and Fly On The Wall won... Serenity (Far Right) is holding the trophy for 5th place for Fly on the Wall. They got Gold too. They were all so good and we are all proud of all these girls.

This is the shirt that I wore over the weekend. I am officially a Dance Mom!

NOW WE PREPARE FOR RECITAL IN JUNE!!!

My baby girl has been so sick

I got a call from Serenity's school on Thursday saying that she was in the nurses office and was crying because her throat was hurting her. The nurse said that she checked her throat and it looked like she had puss pockets on her right side. So of course my first thought was that she had strep throat.
BINGO!
We went straight to the Dr's. office and they took her right in. Sure enough she had strep. Its now Tuesday and I took her in yesterday morning and she had come down with MONO... ugh!!!
I am so stressed as it is with all the crap going on... I really don't want her to have to miss everything just because she has gotten sick.
She has been on the new medicine since yesterday and she is already 75% better.
This makes for good news. She has Dance practice tonight twice and she has a kickball game as well. She is going to be worn out... I just don't want to drain her to the point that she gets sick again.
Tomorrow she has splash day at school for making A honor roll and I don't know if I want to let her participate because I don't need her starting the process of getting sick all over again.

I am going to be one busy busy momma!

preparing for a busy DANCE schedule

This morning has been so crazy, crazy hectic. I woke up on the early side (for me) this morning. I had to make sure that I got the seats for Serenity's recital bought and paid for at a good time or we wouldn't have gotten good seats. Sadly I didn't have the hubby's help and had to get the neighbor (Ben and Michelle) to help me cause I had no idea what I was doing by myself. Thankfully too; they were able to print them out for me because we don't have any ink in our printer.

What a load off my shoulders for the day!!

This weekend is Serenity's competition in Houston and we will be driving up there on Friday afternoon. I want to be sure that we get there with enough time to relax the night before. I am trying to find a shirt by Friday that says DANCE MOM on it all blinged out... we will have to see how that goes considering I am plus size it might be hard to find!

I am looking forward to this weekend!
I will be sure to post plenty of pictures!

Dance, Kickball, Dance, Kickball...

Wow! Talk about some stress lately! lol
We have been incredibly busy to say the least!
With Kickball and Dance coming together Serenity has had to miss a few games due to the fact that the schedules conflict.
Serenity has another dance competition coming up in Houston TX. on the 20th of May.
We are excited to get to go to Houston and see her perform for people that have never seen her perform.

We have been pretty crazy busy since Easter and it doesn't look like its going to stop anytime soon. We have a kickball tournament again this weekend and then we also have my nieces birthday party to attend and then we have to get EVERYTHING ready for this this trip to Houston.
We are hoping to be able to have some free time while we are up there as well, but we will have to see how the schedule looks!

Wish us luck at the Tournament in Alice TX this weekend!

I will be sure to take video and make sure that it is posted here as soon as I can.
