G diapers....

Does anyone use, or know anyone that uses or has used g diapers?  I would love to hear some testimonies if anyone has any.  We are looking at switching Ruby to them but would love to know what others think about them before we do.  Thanks

Kendra...

My good friend and co-coach Alex is going back to work, and I get the pleasure of watching her little pumpkin a couple days a week.  Kendra is 2 months older than Ruby and so much fun to be around.  One of the easiest kiddos I've ever met.  Ruby and Kendra love to play and get along really well.  Look at those cheeks so so kissable!!!!  

Good vs. Great...

Dance team fall conference happened, and it was great.  Two super eventful days full of nothing but dance chat....what could be more fun?!  Although most of the classes I took were a little on the boring side there were some really insightful ones too (i.e. dancers exercise needs, formations & maneuvering, and good vs great technique).  The keynote speaker was so inspiring...like the kind of inspiring were I felt like I could do anything when I walked out of the conference hall.  Anyway it was a long weekend for me but I feel like I have grown as a coach and I really want to continue to challenge myself to improve upon my skills.

PS...Jenna come to practice some time and critique.  I know you would love it!!!

On another note Travis painted our kitchen counters, and will be painting our cabinets soon.  I absolutely love change and I love the counters!!!  Travis did an amazing job.  Thanks dude.  I'll post before and after pics soon.

 

oopps wrong video..

This is the funny one!

Spring cleaning in September?....I went through all my clothes and got rid of the majority of them (seriously 5 garbage bags of clothes and shoes).  I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but since having Ruby nothing really fits the same....so every morning I stare at these cute tops and think "hmmmm maybe that will fit right again?"....then I put it on and realize it looks horrible.  So you know what they say if "something you own would looks better on a friend, give it to them!"  That is exactly what I did.  I called up Caylan and Abby and they went "shopping"...it was fun for them and slightly depressing for me.  But hey that just means I need to "replenish the supply" and go shopping!!!  So we are all winners :)    

Daddy was really funny during bath time tonight.  We're just not really sure why he was so funny.  I just love to hear her laugh.  I think I could listen to it all day long!

Happy Birthday Mom...

Ok so my mom is one of those no fuss no attention type of people.  So no fuss that in fact she has NEVER...EVER had a birthday party!  So my dad had a brilliant idea to throw her a SUPER SURPRISE PARTY!  It was great... My brother, Justin and his lovely girlfriend Amanda prepared all the food, my mom's good friend and my 2nd mom Linda (funny I know) organized the drinks and cakes, and I got to decorate!  I loved it.  I thought long and hard about what color/theme to go with when I thought..."hmmm mom's never had a party before so she definitely needs a pretty pink princess party!"  Every girl must have a pretty pink party, right?  Anyway it went off without a hitch, and she was shocked!  We had a blast here are a few pics...
