carzy, beautiful weekend...

The holiday weekend kicked off with a performance by my team on Friday night at a girls home game.  Basketball performances are always fun.  We're not getting judged so there is little to no stress, and its great practice for competitions.  Saturday morning I was up at 4:45am to get ready for a big dance competition in Portland.  I was so anxious/nervous.  After a long long day of dancing, make-up, hair spray, and stinky feet my team was awarded a huge 1st place trophy (it was like 2 1/2 feet tall).  It was a great feeling....It's such a rewarding experience to coach a team to s victory.  I think the feeling is even better than the feeling I felt when I won as a dancer.  We'll see how state plays out, that is were we will see the toughest competition.  I got home from the competition around 1am on Sunday morning and was up again by 8am to head back to the big city to celebrate my little cousins 1st birthday.  Here's some pics of the big party!!
