Fun on the Beach

Showstoppers

We had a great time at Myrtle Beach for Elizabeth's competition in Showstoppers National Competitions. The Mini Dream Team Competed in Tap with "If They Could See Me Now" and Modern Lyrical Jazz with "My Wish". The girls did outstanding. The Tap routine finished 10th place overall in Mini's (8&under division); the Jazz dance was just barely pushed out of the the top ten. I don't think I could be any more proud of her accomplishments this year.

This was Elizabeth's first year competing and the Mini Dream Team competed in 3 Regional Competitions and then 1 Nationals. They placed in the top ten at EVERY competition. Elizabeth recently told me her dream is to dance at Walt Disney World. With this beginning, I think it is definitely possible!!! We are trying out a new dance school last week and this week. Hopefully we will find that it is the right place for her.

All of the girls in the Mini Dream Team presented ELizabeth with a Showstoppers T-shirt that they each had signed as a going away present for her. We were both very touched by their gesture and they will never know how much it means to ELizabeth!

This is a video Banastre and I made the other night while waiting for Elizabeth and Matt to get off Mission Space at Epcot .

If They Could See Me Now...

Next week, Elizabeth, Banastre, my Mom, and I will be in Myrtle Beach, SC for Swohstoppers National Competitions. Elizabeth's dance team earned two spots at the National level competition. They will be performing their tap and ballet dance there.

This is Elizabeth's dance from her Recital in May:
She's in the middle at the beginning and then is the third from the left after the first part! Sorry for the interruption halfway through!

Watch out!!!

So, today in unpacking, I found the adapter for my memory stick. So over the next few days be prepared to be blown away with pics and videos. I didn't think it was possible, but I was able to fill up a whole gig memory stick!!!
So...in case you missed them here are my Angel and Biscuit:

Before the move...





Ready to go out side to the pool at the new house!!!!

Hi From Sunny Florida!!!

We are here!!! Banastre and I made it to FL Thursday evening. We had a wonderful week at my Mom's house and really enjoyed getting to spend all the time with her that we could. Elizabeth is still with Mom and will be coming here in about a week. The weather has been wonderful since we arrived. Low to mid 90's with afternoon thunder storms. Friday we went to Epcot to walk around a little and then that evening we watched the space shuttle Atlantis launch from our clubhouse. I forgot to take my camera with me, so I will definitely remember it with the next launch!! Saturday we visited Magic Kingdom and then had dinner at Ohana's at the Polynesian Resort. Yesterday we unpacked a lot and then drove around the Lake Buena Vista area and then ended up at Downtown Disney.

I am so proud of Banastre. Matt turned his crib into the toddler bed and he has been sleeping in it since we arrived Thursday. He really is a big boy now!!! He also seems to be adjusting well. We are still having the temper tantrums, but I know that will last for the nest 17 years at least. :)

As soon as I unpack the USB cable. I will overload blogger with pics. But for now, I must go unpack more!!!!
