Dancing

This past week was the studio's Open House. We got to sit in the entire class time. I love it when we can do that. I got to a sneak peak of her dance recital dance. So cute! She didn't have her proper tights or ballet slippers on because she lost them! We will have to get some more in the next week or two. For now - she is off for spring break until April 6th! 

Courageous & Strong

During this month's Girl Scout Meeting, the girls had the opportunity to take a self-defense class at our local martial arts studio which happens to be right across the street from our house! Handy! They earned one of their last daisy petals with this class - it's called Courageous & Strong. 

This idea came about when there was a bully issue at school that was basically isolated to the 1st graders. This particular student has since been removed from the school, but hopefully the lessons they learned will stick with them. The girls all had an absolute blast and I am fairly certain that most of them now want to take karate lessons :) 

In House Gymnastics Meet 3/20/15

Paige had an informal In-House Meet this night. She did pretty well. She scored an 8.60 on the Vault, 7.95 on the Bars, 8.50 on the Beam, and 7.65 on the Floor for an all-around score of 32.7 which earned her 2nd place. She is in a bit of a tough spot right now because she was promoted to a Level 2 gymnast a few weeks ago. With the end of the competition season right around the corner, her coaches felt it would be difficult to learn a new routine in a short amount of time, and with just a couple of competitions left. So - she is practicing with Level 2's, but is competing at Level 1. She didn't get much opportunity to practice her level 1 routines as she is not in that class anymore. She's really taking to gymnastics and I see us being the parents of a gymnast for quite some time! 

Higher & Higher!

This was a HUGE moment at gymnastics for her. She has always been really hesitant on the climbing rope and this time she blew her personal best out of the water. She just keeps getting stronger and more confident! I love it! 

Pinewood Derby 3/7/15

Once again, the Boy Scouts were nice enough to invite the Girl Scouts in to use their brand new track! It was a lot of fun! Paige took 3rd out of 6 girls :) 

Look Alikes

When I took this picture, it was because she was sleeping and she looks SO adorable when she sleeps. After going back and looking at the picture again, I realized something. She is the spitting image of my sister in this picture and it makes my heart melt. I am so happy that after all of these years, I can catch glimpses of my sister in my very own daughter. It means more to me than words can say. 

Has It Really Been A Month?

We have been so crazy busy this last 6 weeks with cookie season...wow! I will have a lot of updating to do with you all. Stay tuned!
