July 18-24
We had a fun but busy week! It started out with a weekend at Jeb and Amber's house. We had fun staying cool in their doughboy pool and playing Guitar Hero. The kids had a great time playing, and we had a great time relaxing and visiting. We also got to see Brooklynn's room. It is painted lavender and has lavender and pink butterflies, with a beautiful crib set to match. She is already being loved and spoiled by her parents, and we are excited for her arrival. I got to go to a Dr. appointment with Amber, and see the baby on the ultrasound. I saw an arm, a side view, saw that she is definitely a girl, and heard the heartbeat. I am lucky and thankful that I have such a great sister. It was so cool to get to go!
On Monday, we got Becca's hair and make-up ready and went to Rainbow Nationals in Anaheim. She got there, slipped on her costume, warmed up, and did her dance...
"I want fabulous, that is my simple request, all things fabulous, bigger and better and best"...
She ended up getting a First Place in Petite Jazz and 4th overall in Petite 8 and Under.
Her aunt cried, and I screamed! Becca proudly held the bigger trophy over her head during the awards ceremony
Here she is with her teacher, Miss Kim, her friend Crista, and their awards...
After the awards, it was time to eat, so we went to the Rainforest Cafe. The girls and Grant had a fun time making weird faces and sounds, and waiting for the storms every few minutes.
Then we walked around Downtown Disney for a while, and took these pictures at the Lego Store with Darth Vader and R2-D2...
a cute pic of Grant with his daddy. We were glad they could come with us Monday and watch Becca. Love you guys!!!
We ended up (after a move) with a poolside view at the Disneyland Hotel. Along with getting in to the concierge with our friends and getting to eat all the food up there and watch the fireworks, this was their favorite thing at the hotel...
yeah, I was pretty lucky to get this picture of Becca at the very moment of pool impact. On Mallory's, I forgot to zoom in...
On Tuesday, we had fun at Disneyland all day, but I wasn't very good at remembering to take pictures. I will have to go back and do a blog of our trip there with my sister when we came down for her graduation in June. Well, here is Tarzan's Treehouse, anyway...
Becca being a Tarzan...
On Wednesday, Becca did her team routine, and they got 1st place and 5th overall! We were proud of them! Then they went to a jazz master class with one of the judges. As you can see, they didn't group them by age or anything. The dance was difficult, but by the end, Becca was getting it...
They said they were the Cheetah Girls, and were posing and yelling "CHEETAHS!"- so silly, and so much attitude!
Becca and Crista on one of our several walks Downtown...
with the parrot in front of Rainforest Cafe...
I am so proud of Rebecca. She is one talented little dancin' diva!
More pictures of my divas doing their things (Bec's dance and Mal's gymnastics) to come...
