Recital 2009

Kai and Bella
Kai and Tori

Another recital, and another end of a dance season for the dancers at TDA. It's hard to believe that another recital has come and gone. It was a great show. No fire alarms went off, the air conditioning worked and the kids did amazing. I again, have no pictures of Kai with any of her costumes because I left my camera on the charger.

Fortunately Kai was in only 11 dances as opposed to the 14 I initially thought. Don't get me wrong, 11 is a lot, but 14 is way worse. The last time she was in 14 numbers, I was a wreck. Her numbers were so close together, that I barely got her on stage in time. And that year the air conditioning was not working, this is Phoenix remember. Her costumes were literally stuck to her and getting a new one on was close to impossible. At one point the back of one was twisted and tangled and I was almost in tears. I had two other moms helping me. They were not easy changes. This year, Kai was able to change on her own. I only went backstage to help her get her hair in a bun for ballet. Other than that, she did it on her own. I was very proud of her. She even managed to get her pointe shoes on with only one number in between.

And speaking of pointe shoes. I happened to ruin hers the night before recital. Poor kid, she couldn't even get on the box. What do I know? Apparently nothing about adding Jet Glue to pointe shoes. Next time, I will ask for help.

So, recital may be over, but rehearsals for NYC are in full swing. We leave in exactly two weeks!

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

Good things come to those who wait...

I was having one of those bad Mondays. One of those Mondays when everything seems to be going wrong. 1. Our phones at the office are not working. 2. Statements went out over the weekend and angry patients are calling to complain. 3. My coffee got cold and I had to throw it away, and now I have a caffeine headache. 4. My cell phone has been tied up all day because I'm having our calls forwarded to it. (good thing for rollover minutes). 5. My boss has just added two more things to my darker pink "TODO" notebook. And just as I was about to roll up in a ball and hide under my desk, I got this e-mail. Dear Kindle Customer, Today, we introduced Kindle 2, the next generation of our wireless reading device.

Flashback Friday

This Friday, I am participating in two links. My first is with Alicia over at More Than Words . There are only two weeks to go for TDA's Summer Recital. This year it will be held at Higley Performing Arts on June 20 at 7:00. Kassie will be in aproximately 14 dances so far. Might change though. Hopefully it will change to less. : ) Recital is in full swing right now. Every day, you see kids walking out with their costumes. It is so cute. I especially love seeing the little two and three year olds. They are always so excited. This is a picture of Kai in her 2nd Recital with TDA. It was her first year taking more than two classes. I think she was in five or six recital numbers. It was her first official ballet dance. She had never taken a full ballet class. She since has learned to love it. This picture was taken in 2005 making her only nine years old. How fast time goes..... June 2005
