Starpower Competition

Kaiya had her 1st real competition. It was lots of fun! Starpower Competition ranks the dances with stars. 5 stars is best. Out of the 3 dances this is how they ranked...

I like to fuss - 4
Kiss - 4 1/2
Whip my hair - 4

Kaiya and Tatum also won an award and I think it was called the Power Pak award? In each age level the judges invite 4 kids to receive this award. They saw something in the girls that said...STAR!! It's an invitation to their tour where they will get to study with fabulous choreographers. There are 2 locations to choose from...one in Orlando and the other in Ocean City, Maryland. This year Kaiya probably will not be going because we will be be at Disneyland for her National Competition in July for 7 days. We are so excited for her to be invited!

The competitions are a blast. It is quite the workout for the moms though! Having Jett is especially hard for me because I have to make sure he is fed and content. I have to dress Kaiya in her costumes and do her hair appropriately for all 3 dances (3 different hair do's). I run out to the audience to watch her perform and rush back to the dressing room to get her ready for the next dance. It makes for a long day...but a fun one.
My dad, mom and Stacey made it in time for Kaiya's last dance which was her duo.

Kaiya the Dancer...and A Proud Family!!

I am so excited and proud!!
The dance studio just called. Kaiya has been in level 3B (B stands for beginner) classes this year and has worked her butt off. The owner told the front desk lady to call and let me know that they want to switch Kaiya to level 4 classes!!! That means she is skipping levels 3, 3I and 4B!! We are so extremely proud of her!!

Rolly Pollie Ollie

Jett woke up and decided today would be the day he would roll over. I put him down to play with his toys (a favorite morning activity) and the next thing I knew he was on his side. Soon after he rolled to his tummy. Ever since then he doesn't stay on his back very long. He rolls over to his tummy and likes it for a short minute and then yells for us to come flip him back over. I spend most of my days now turning him back over to his back. Funny baby.

Play Date


There is a girl in my ward that had a baby boy about a month after Jett was born. They both came over the other day for the babies first play date. Jett and Jacob pretty much slept the whole time while Emilia and I talked about our babies. It was fun and we already have another one planned for tomorrow.

#1 Fan

Kaiya and Ella love, love, LOVE to perform. They now have a new fan! Kaiya likes to lay Jett on the couch so he can watch her. He will sit there and watch without making a peep.
He better get used to it!

My Baby is Getting so Big!!

Jett is a very happy smiley baby!
