AND THEN

I was on my last leg....

I was tired and my energy had just been used up.

So my sweet Hunter decides it's the night he is going to keep coming out of bed to ask me questions...

So I YELLED...

Then I went back in and apologized and explained how I was really tired and it was now 9:00 p.m. and Dad wasn't home yet and that I had had a SUPER busy day and I just needed him to GO TO BED....I told him I LOVED HIM!

Went to bed around 10:00....still no sign of Justin :(

And that was the last I saw of Hunter until 6:02 this morning....

...when I woke up to him saying, "SURPRISE MOM!"

Who knows what time he got up because he had time to make me a cute card

and Breakfast in Bed!

Don't you LOVE his card! It melted my heart and all day I have thought how I am truly not worthy to be the mother of such sweet children! He knows my favorite cereal is Bashas brand granola and my favorite drink (since giving up Pepsi, yes Aunt Carol I am 2 months sober off caffeine....shocking I know!) is Ice Water. It was great to wake up to....

Breakfast in Bed....... a husband that came home sometime in the night..... and a very handsome smiling seven year old boy! THANK YOU HUNTER!!!

Kiersten's First Dance Competition!!

To say that Kiersten has LOVED being in Company this year at Dance would be a HUGE understatement! She so enjoys performing and when in company there are plenty of opportunities to perform!

Kiersten is in Premiers this year in Company.

This picture was at a variety show at the high school.

Isn't she gorgeous!

Kiersten had her first competition in April, down in Gilbert.

Her group did two dances.......a jazz dance and a tap dance.

They received High Gold for both of their dances. Jenny Rogers, the owner of the dance studio, said she has never had a beginning group in Company come to their first competition and get High Gold for both their dances. They also recieved a Judge's Award for their jazz dance......The Most Entertaining Award. So it was a big accomplishment for Kiersten and all her team. They really are a talented group of girls. I am really enjoying Kiersten's love of dance. This might be my only chance to have a girl in dance so I try to remember that when the schedule is hectic and the performances and extra practices seem to be endless.

We made it a girls weekend. The Shupe's came with us.........we enjoyed the competition, we shopped, we ate good food, we swam at the hotel and we laughed a lot! It was so much fun!

Kiersten I am so proud of you!

You always give your best and you always amaze me!

Thanks for letting me be your mom!
