End of Year

8th Grade Dance

The Rookies are now the Juniors!

Belle Banquet

Tuesday, May 3, 2016

Madden performed in her first full Spring Show as a Trojan Belle this weekend. It was so much fun to watch her dance. We are proud parents! Callie also performed in the Saturday show as a part of the MMS Junior Belles (those photos aren't available yet). It was actually a family affair as both Porter and I also danced in the Mom and Dad dances. YIKES! Thanks to all the sweet friends, family, and dance teachers who attended the show.

1st Day

Madden passed her driver's test yesterday with flying colors!

Today, I watched her drive to school solo for the 1st time.

Seems Like Old Times

Wheels

The only thing missing is the license....

Arlington National Cemetery

Callie is in Washington, D.C. with the National Junior Honor Society. She is an officer in the club - Treasurer - and thus was afforded the opportunity to participate in the Wreath Laying Ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Her friend videotaped the service and shared it with me. In addition, our dear friends, the Normands, who live in Alexandria, met the group at the Cemetery, and they were able to share a hug together.

It's official - I'm a Dance Mom

Spent last weekend with the Trojan Belles at a competition in Rockwall, TX. They won Best of the Best at the show - Wow! My favorite thing, however, was when Madden got home and commented, "That was a really fun two days." I am so glad she loves what she does. Here is her solo dance, and also the Rookie (sophomore only) dance for which they won the large ensemble category, and scandal of all scandals, BEAT the SENIOR class!

Round Two is tomorrow with another competition in Round Rock. Hopefully we will finish before 11pm like last weekend, and I think the seniors will be coming for ya, Rookies!
