"Showtime" Dance Competition

Competition yesterday went Awesome!!! The girls performed their routines so great! I don't know what it is with this group of girls, but they really do great together. "Showtime" was the host for this contest and it was held at Rouse High School, here in Leander, so it was nice that it was down the road.

I was proud of Megan on how she performed, since the night before she had started coming down with a bad cold, the runny nose, that just wouldn't stop, it was so stuffy, she could hardly breath, but besides seeing her with kleenex's throughout the day, you wouldn't of known she didn't feel 100%, she danced great and kept her smile from ear to ear, and I think hammed it up even more in the hip hop routine ( that's her fav.)

The girls walked away with some high awards that included:
*Judges Award
*Sweepstakes Award
*Best in Catagory in Pom
*Best in Catagory in Lyrical
*Best in Catagory in Hip Hop
The girls also was awarded GRAND CHAMPIONS FOR ELEMENTARY DANCE TEAM!!!

Us mama's were so proud of all of them!!!

Way to go E-Team Star Dancer's!

Excited to save for our family vacation

We have been thinking of a place to take our next vacation, and we were thinking of DisneyWorld. The last time we went to Disneyworld, the kids were a bit younger so we thought it was time to go again. But....I have seen another fun idea on commercials and Chad had a friend from work just return from here and he said that they had a lot of fun on their vacation, so we are going to save up for a trip on the......

DISNEY CRUISE

I have been looking it up online to start looking at prices and get ideas on where we would depart from and where to go so we are going to start saving today! The easiest for us would either to depart from Galveston or Florida and when I looked the only times that would be great for us to go is next year in Feb or Mar. when the kids have their school breaks. So that will give us a lot of time to save so we will have a fun time!

We are not ruling out Disneyworld, but we still have plenty of time to decide ( at least by Oct. so we can start booking everything.)

I think either vacation the kids will enjoy and all that matters is that we are together enjoying as a family!

A proud mamma's moment...

I am so proud of Megan and Chance. They are truly the sweetest kids! How did we get so lucky to have two great kiddos!

They are not only brother and sister, they are the best of friends. Chad and I love that they both get along so so well. It's so great! They hardly have those "brother & sister issues".

We love that they always listen and talk about their days that they have at school, it's so fun listening to them having conversations in the car or at home.

At the end of every night when we have our bedtime stories, Megan always compliments Chance on his reading. So sweet!

This is a biggie.... We love that they have the best of manners when we are out at resturants or anywhere... We have gotten so many compliments from other people ( some older people, which I love) saying how well behaved our kids are. The other day, we were in the hair salon and their was this mom with two boys that were acting out and she stating to her boys " Look at those kids, look how they are not playing around, they are sitting nice and still" It made me proud that Megan and Chance know how to act in public places. :)

They both make us so proud with everything that they do, school, extra activities, but it how they act towards each other and how they know how to behave when we are out and about makes us so proud of them! I know it makes me smile and makes me realize that we so far have done a great job as parents.

We love them to pieces! I know that their brother and sister relationship is going to grow even bigger and bigger!
