Valentine's Day

I read in the paper Friday that there was going to be a free family day at the Clark Planetarium. So, when I saw that, I thought "Cool! I always miss out on hearing about stuff like this- until after the event that is." Anyway, Tiffy was going to have a playdate on Saturday with her Friend Maddie and so I called her mom, Tamra, and told her about the event and told her I'd rather take them instead. She thought it was a great idea. So, off we went on Saturday.



The girls had a blast! We saw the show "Black Holes" in the space dome, and did a lot of the free activities they had, and got to check out everything they had at the planetarium. They "fished", they wrote down thig=ngs that you can do to help the environment and then posted it on the "board", they got tatoos. The girls were too funny to watch.

There was this spot where you could see what Mars and the Moon look like. So, the girls being the camera friendly people they are just "had to take pics."








They thought the space suit man as really cool.



They had fun playing weather forecasters.



They had fun checking out the telescopes and playing with this turning game. You turn the knobby thing and you generate electricity to power different wattage type bulbs. They played there for quite a while until their arms were "soooo tired." lol.




All in all, a fun time.

After the planetarium, we came home to chill. Later that night, we made dinner and watched movies as a family. Nothing big, but chilled. Sometimes that can be really nice.

Selling my treadmill

So, I decided that I need to sell my treadmill for money. It kinda makes me sad cause I really like it and it's been a great treadmill. However, I need to do what I need to do and in the future when I have more money, I can just buy anoher one like it if we decide to get another.

Winter Recital

Saturday the 31st of January was the Winter Recital. I was a team mom, so I had to be backstage with the girls during the show. This was both good and bad. I had the opportunity to get lots of backstage shots, but didn't get many on stage shots. No worries. They do their show again in the Spring but they do it better and they do all of their dances instead of ust one.

We got up that morning and had to be at ractive by 9:45A. Maddie came over a little earlier so that Tamra could go to a meeting and so I could take her with us. The girls were funny trying to entertain themselves.





The girls were all sitting on the ledge and it just made me crack up! They were so cute in line waiting to go on stage I just had to take a pic.





After rehearsal, we went to Panda Express for lunch. It was funny cause we got some weird looks since Tiffy's makeup was still on- and man was it bright! lol!

We had to be back at the school by 5P. When we got there she had to warm up and we took a couple quick pics.





While we were waiting to go on, the girls entertained themselves by chatting and playing with Tiff's Nintendo DS. I love how well behaved Tiffy can be sometimes. It reminds me that she is a good girl.





When it was time to go on, they all lined up. They were so cute!




Of course, Tiffy's friend ran over to wish her good luck. I really like that so many of the older girls are supportive of the younger ones. It's nice.



After the girls were done dancing, they were excited they did a good job and of course had to take a goofy picture.



I like to see Tiffy's recitals. It makes me proud to see how well she does after all the hard work and hours that she has put into learning her dances. Its something that she enjoys and I enjoy watching her.
