Brooke's Duet Wins First!

Brooke had a dance competition this weekend, and her duet with Olivia won FIRST PLACE!  They crushed it!  The best part is that they had so much fun dancing together, and they worked so hard.  It was fantastic!  Here they are with their teacher and choreographer, miss Aikman.

I've got a new picture of Grayson from school.  They worked on this scene of the Last Supper, which, once Grayson brought it home became his computer.  He sure loves to play on his computer now.

The kids prepared and put on a whole dance show for this week.  They had a solid 10 dances, with solos and duets and all of them up there together.  Some of the dances were really fun, like Brooke and Grayson doing their snake dance together.  I'm not sure if I've said enough stuff to give links to all the videos, but hopefully I have by now.

On Friday we headed down to New Braunfels for Brooke's dance competition.  On Friday night she just had her duet with Olivia, which went great!  As mentioned they won first place, and also did this cartwheel thing.

Grayson did his best to stay entertained throughout the show, including rolling a pencil down this side aisle over and over.  He really liked doing this, and the other people sitting on the end were pretty entertained as well.

Here's Brooke on stage accepting her award during the awards ceremony.

I helped bring the good luck by parking in the  Nyan-cat decorated parking spot.  Thank you Oliver, you really helped us out.

We got a hotel room for the night since Brooke had a dance on Friday and Saturday.  Grayson noticed the pool out the windows and climbed right in there to get a better view.  This was between games of "the floor is lava."

On Saturday Brooke had her two company dances, jazz and lyrical.  Her team did a fantastic job, and they were very fun to watch.

When we returned home, we found Jelly laying in a basket of clean towels.  This is also probably where she was when we left, and probably where she is as I'm writing this, unless we put them away by now.  In fact, Monica DIDN'T put the towels away so that Jelly could lay there while we were gone.

The kids sang a song for Easter in Sacrament meeting on Sunday.  What beautiful voices.

And we had resurrection rolls for our treat after FHE.  It's essentially a roll with a marshmallow in the middle, and then after you bake it they're empty inside.

It was a pretty dance heavy week with Brooke's competition over the weekend, and the kids working so hard to put on a show for us during the week.  It's amazing Brooke didn't start busting out the wrong moves at some point through all of that!
