Nicole's Room

After two years of planning, prep and buying for Nicole's room, we (according to Nicole) finally finished it.  This is what you get when you get help blogging from your ten year old daughter!  Hahaha!

We painted her tall dresser front panels which were purple, painted the night stand that used to be  Braedon's which had been covered in stickers and the boxes in her bookstand from blue, green, red and orange.

When I first started painting the room I thought it was going to be too bright but when it was all put together it looked really cute.
Now I just need to do some of the other rooms!  Like the crap room, aka craft room!  Hopefully it will happen soon.  Stay tuned for details.

I'm Back In Business

I've been out of the blogging business because my computer has been on the fritz.  I think my husband got sick of hearing me complain because he bought me a new computer!  Yea me!
Now I can blog and add pictures again.
Thanks Hunny!

There'll Be No Living With Her Now!

Nicole has been doing ballroom dance at school this year.  I can tell she loves it because she is always practicing her dance steps at home, in front of any mirror, while waiting in line at the store, while waiting in line for the movies, and just about anywhere she is standing!

Two weekends ago her school competed in a ballroom competition with five other schools in the Davis County School district.  Her dance specialty that she did was the Cha-Cha-Cha, but they also had to learn the waltz, the tango, the swing and the foxtrot.  They were judged on technique and style.  Her and her partner, Hunter Harris, did really well; and as you can see in the video they were having fun!

After the first round where they performed their specialty, they were called back out to the floor and one of the other dances was drawn from a hat and they had to perform it and were judged again on technique and style.  This time she had to dance the Tango.

 



The Big Trophy



When all was said and done they announced the winners.  There were two groups with two divisions in each so a total of four chances for a medal in technique and four chances for a medal in style for each dance.  Nicole and Hunter received one of the medals for Cha-Cha-Cha technique!  She was so excited!  Her school only received three team medals.  Her team which had 5 girls and 2 boys on it and was one of 6 teams from her school received the only gold ribbon for her school, but the most exciting thing is that they took home one of the two trophies for most points scored!

All in all it was a very successful day for Nicole!  Hope her head will fit through the door!
