2009 Year End Dance Recital -

Kassidee and Maddison performed at their year end Desert Edge Dance recital May 9th..... They did an amazing job! Mitch and I are so proud of them! I ordered a DVD which as soon as I get I will put their clip on so everyone can see how stinkin cute their dances are! The girls have been in dance for 3 years now and love it... They get to learn allot of movements, technique's, balance, motivation, structure, which goes well with the Ballet, jazz, hip hop, modern, and just for jun classes :) The teachers are allot of fun and do really well with all the kids! I love to see how far my girls have come from the first time they started. They aren't scared now to get on stage and perform infront of alot of people. They have such high self esteems! It has taught them so much and I hope they continue on....

2008-2009 School Pictures....

I can't believe this school year has come and gone! The girls got out of school May 23rd for the year 2008-2009. Both Kassidee and Maddison had such a productive year. Maddison graduated kindergarten and headed for 1st grade and Kassidee graduated 3rd going into 4th this coming fall. Maddison learned to read, write, count, shapes, concepts about print, phonics and spelling, site words, arts, math concepts, oral language, social studies, share everything, play fair, don't hit people, put things back where you found them, clean up your own mess, don't take things that aren't yours, say your sorry when you hurt someone, wash your hands before you eat, live a balanced life, learn some and think some, draw, sing and dance. Play and work everyday so when you go out into the world you can watch for traffic, hold hands and stick together. Be aware of wonder remember the little seed in the plastic cup, the roots go down and the plant goes up and many more things to help her grown in life! I absolutely LOVED her teacher. She was such an amazing lady and did so well with my Maddi girl... Kassidee is doing awesome!!!! I can't believe how much she is doing and learning at her young age. Her spelling and writing is above grade level, her art is fanominal, she wants to be an artist when she grows up so we are currently trying to get her into some 1 on 1 art classes, she has such a passion in her work! I love it.. She has passed her multiplication and division with flying colors... She also has done typing in computer class and was top of the class at 24 wpm. Kassidee is above grade level in almost all academic areas. Language arts is her strenght and she has made significant progress in reading and writing. Continueing to retell what she has read will help to increase comprehension. Her attitude and behavior are always positive and she has built a good foundation and is well prepared to be successful in the fouth grade. I am so proud of my girls and what they have accomplished this year. We have allot of fun things planned over the summer to keep them going and ready for the next school year. Keep up the hard work girls. Me and your dad love you so much and look foward to helping and supporting you with your all your dreams and successes'

Sand Hollow Fun.......

Last week we took my sister and her family out to the lake! It was such a beautiful day.... We did some wakeboarding, tubing, layed out by the beach, ate some lunch buried Mersades :0) It was a fun day and I am so happy they were able to make it out.... It makes it so nice when your family loves the water and boating! The girls have allot of fun and they continue to want to go, they are so good about putting sunscreen on and reminding us as well (LOL)... This year the girls are going to wakeboard. We bought it last year but didn't have enough time to practice out on the lake. So we are stoked to get them up :) I am looking forward to many more trips out this summer!!!!
