Week 40 - Happy Mother's Day

Yesterday marked a day of celebration to all Mother's, Grandmothers, and mothers to be...........so to everyone I know, "Happy Mother's Day"!!

My son gave me a good giggle when presented me with his gift, as everyone knows my name is spelled the gealic way and his teacher says to him...."Are you sure this is how you spell your moms name as it looks wrong?" He replies, "Yes it's right, I know"....lol

It also marked the beginning of the end to a great year of Dance....Yes, I am a Dance Mom and this past weekend was the final competition round.....were I can proudly say my kids brought home a ton of hardware this year.....

I am so proud of them!!

This was taken with my cell phone yesterday.....

Random Pictures from many of the competitions....we are not allowed to videotape or take pictures while they are performing....we can however, take pictures in the practice rooms and during awards.....

Week 36 -37 - Creative

Week 36 .....Friends and Fun......We spent the weekend with friends and had a great time chatting and laughing the weekend away...we enjoyed a nice dinner at "Its All Greek to Me!! The kids had a blast playing around too!!

My son was a little under the weather and you can see it in his eyes, poor guy! No one likes it when there kids are not feeling well!!

Week 37 - We attended a hill billie hoe-down 30th birthday party this weekend straight with corn on the cob and a roasted pig

And Creativity
I had an idea a couple of months ago to do a princess in the hopes that we could do it with a snow covered ground, well winter was either too cold, no snow or we had plans so it never to seem to come together...but decided to do another session as the masked princess of Spring.....

Here is something all Dance Moms will be able to relate too...lol....the getting ready for competition...lol

My son is doing "Grease" this year and I couldn't wait to take him to this location to have a bit of fun with him....I think they turned out great!

Thank-you everyone for coming out today...I had a blast!!
