Dance recital 2012

 This year's ballet theme was "Musique Classique".  There was a featured composer and then a few dances.  Sydney's composer was Tchaikovsky and was a blue bird for a small excerpt of Swan Lake.

 The tap/jazz/modren recital was all "love songs".  Sydney danced to "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You).  Best part of the weekend was that dad was there this time!

Same sass!  Just a year older

Too quite and cheese-ball eyes

Apparently,  when Camryn and her friend Eliza are too quiet, it is a problem.

Eliza's mom calls this Ainsley's Barbie camouflage

Also, Camryn does this thing she calls "cheese ball eyes" where she will squeeze cheese balls with her eye lids giving her the look of having cheese ball eyes.  Simple enough.  The end product however looks like "cheese fungus eyes".  I gotta get her a new game.

Camryn: patient zero

To my fans in France

I would like to thank Blogger Dashboard for the new look.

I'm not going to lie - I had a field day looking at all the stats pages.  Did you know that they track from where people are looking at your blog?  I have two followers in France!  We're international baby.

This ones for you France!! 

**  Did you ever wonder what it would look like or feel like to go to Prom as an adult? 

Now that we are part of the bomb squadron (Go Tigers!) we got to participate in "Tiger Formal".  It's a fancy night of dinner, dancing, and dressing up.  It started with a guy who wanted to treat his lady to a fancy night out.  He got together with a couple of other guys and made a few rules 1. ladies had to be in formal wear  2. guys had to be in tuxes  3.  you will have a great time.

The first year they held it in his basement.  The next year a few more guys were added.  One thing leads to another, the squadron commander gets involved and wa-la "Tiger Formal" is born.

It was a fun night and a lot like Prom.... only the night ended a lot better this time.
