Dancing!

Wednesday was a crazy dance day for Ella. She had all of her dances except one. It was a lot of quick changes and rehearsing. She's a trooper though and made it through the day like a champ! Her dances all did well and I was sad to see them perform one last time.

Hugs from Bro Bro

Another one of the boys favorite - Griffin. Each year he comes because his brother dances so he helps us with the boys (who love him). He is one of Kaiya's friends.

Kaiya did really well in her dances. I am especially sad to not see some of hers compete again. She is a beautiful dancer and every year gets better and better.

Happy 4th of July

 Another year we celebrated 4th of July at Nationals - Yay us! jk

Ella was hot and wanted to go back to the room. I was trying to get her to calm down. She wouldn't and was acting like normal Crazy Ella. Here are some pictures to document real life.

I am now threatening her and saying she just needs to calm down and take one nice picture (I had tried before this to have her breath and calm down)

The boys have been drawing a lot. Jett and I played hangman. He's really good at it!

The boys love the big boys.

They also love their sister Kaiya - she is #1!

We might not have celebrated 4th of July like everyone else did but Kaiya had her solo's and lit up the stage. There was about 110 solo's competing and she received 7th overall! She also received the Showmanship award and Category Winner. AMAZING.

Vegas - Playing at the Pool

 We made it to Vegas. Cannon liked the view from our room.

We headed straight for the pool the first morning.

Love eating fresh fruit by the pool
