3 Girls and a Guy

PRO PREP 2010 DANCE RECITAL


Most of these girls have been together since they were three years old. They are all great friends. They love being on the same company. This year, we have been told, things are going to change. Last night was tryouts, and we are awaiting the envelope. They will still have technique classes together, so I know they will remain friends. What a ride it has been for Alex. One of the girls had a bday party a few weeks ago, and they took some pictures before the party. They turned out so cute.
Alex's dance recital was last week before Yellowstone so I'm catching up. It was a way fun night. I brought all the kids early and then Renn met us there. We were there from 4-10 p.m. Long night. We walked to the gas station for some snacks and the kids did great. Alex had a 1 1/2 hour break so the kids went to the park with Renn. I love this time of year. It's so crazy, but it makes all the hard work, driving, money all worth it. Alex did fantastic. She danced five times. She did two hip hop dances, jazz dance, production Mary Poppins Chimney Sweeper, beautiful ballet and one more I can't remember. She learned about 8 dances this year. Wow. How do they keep them straight. Grammie came and cheered Alex on too. Kaden was pouting in one of the pics. He wanted more candy. Whats new??

Alex has loved dancing with Brenna this year. She is my cousin Jenny's daughter. My Aunt Sherri was there watching her granddaughter Brenna. Cute picture of my mom and her sis. Brenna just made the cheerleading squad at Alta High. We will miss seeing her. Alex and Brenna always teased each other on Saturday mornings.

Grammie brought Alex flowers. She loved her flowers. We still have them a week later. They are beautiful. It was our last dance performance until Christmas. What a night. Each year Alex gets better and better. I love watching her. She is becoming quite the young lady. She loves dance and loves her team. She never complains about all the hours and I don't think she would want it any other way. She is bored on days off. Anne runs an amazing studio. She has over 300 students and each dance is different and unique. It takes a certain woman to run a dance studio for sure. It's raw talent.

After the recital, the girls were all crying. Alex could not cry. She told me, "I want to cry, but I can't." I know exactly how she feels. Grammie is not a crier, and I am not a crier, thus Alex must get it from us. I was laughing and teasing the girls. It's fun to see that they love each other and develop strong bonds through dancing. The girls will see each other several times over the summer, but I think they know this year might be the year when they get seperated. We will see next week. Renn and Kade took off for home and I brought all the girls home. We stopped by Sconecutter for some yummy cinnamon honey butter scones. My girls think Sconecutter is kind of scary. I agree. Why do weird people work there. Maybe because it's open 24 hours. Great Job Big Al. You amaze me. I love you tons and love the little lady you are becoming.
