Right face, Right face, Left face!

Karsyn had 2 more dance competitions after the Union competition to finish out her dance season (I love the 2 month middle school dance season).


She had fun meeting up with her friend, Lexi, who was dancing with Prairie Highschool.  Karsyn and Lexi used to be on the same gymnastics team and Lexi quit gymnastics for dance about a year after Karsyn.

Her second competition was at Skyview Highschool and just like the first one, Pacific came home with a first place trophy in both their dances!  But the really exciting part for us was watching Karsyn in the Drill Down competition.  We had no idea she would do so well with this being her first year on the dance team but she earned herself a 2nd place medal!  That is pretty impressive since each Drill Down competition starts with over a hundred girls!
 No wonder she did so well!  Look at the way she is intimidating the other girls! I would be afraid, very afraid!


This is their Hip Hop dance and Karsyn had no problems hamming it up!  She even admitted that her face hurt after performing from smiling so hard!




The middle school teams are the only ones that try to earn the "spirit" award at the competitions.  By highschool the girls just don't care!  I wish the middle school girls didn't care, or at least could learn more than one chant!
 This is their lyrical dance and it was beautiful.  





 Karsyn knew she wanted to finish off the season strong and that she did!  She came home with 2 first place trophies again for both their dances and a first place trophy for the Drill Down competition!  I have no idea how she remembers all those commands but it is pretty impressive!




 That is the face of a very happy girl!  We are so proud of her and love watching her put 100% into everything she does!

Hauʻoli Lā Hānau Scott!

Heather sends us at least one vacation deal to look at each month. In September 2020 she showed us a sale on airfare to Hawaii over Scott's birthday. We had such a fun time there in January 2020 that it didn't take us long to commit and we booked airfare to Maui. We soon realized we couldn't find any affordable lodging in Maui that also offered free cancellation. Generous cancellation policies are definitely a must in these crazy COVID times. Heather found a good deal on lodging in Kauai so we changed our airfare from Maui to Kauai. Yes! Everything was finalized! Well that was until it was declared that all visitors to Hawaii would be required to show a negative COVID test, from one of their approved testing sites, to get off the plane in Hawaii. That was discouraging so we then changed our plans and flights to spend the week in Cancun. Finally we knew where we would be spending Scott's birthday week! Or not. With just a little over a week before our vacation date, the ...

Paris

So here is a look at our trip to Paris.  It might be more than most of you care to read!  I just copied and pasted emails we sent home while on our trip.  This is more for my benefit than anyone else's since this blog is the closest I have come to keeping a journal.  Hope you enjoy the journey- we sure did! View from our Seine River Cruise Day One We have the tiniest little room way up at the very top of a very narrow skinny hotel. It reminds us of the love dungeon (our first basement apartment) but it is up at the top so we called it our "love tower"! The bed is a double and you can only stand up straight in the room if you are standing on Scott's side of the bed! The tub is half size (I think they made it for Napoleon).  But I slept great. The weather was amazing! After getting in it was too early to get our room so we left our bags at the hotel and walked around for about an hour while waiting to meet up with the Parkers again. We were in the Plaza of San Mic...

Memorable highlights and sayings from 2007

January Highlight: Staying at our friends cabin up by Mt. St. Helens. Just a quick drive up the mountain and we had plenty of snow for sledding and great views of St. Helens. January Quote: Scott and I were in the car with Cassidy. I was complaining about how tired I had been. It didn't see m to matter if I slept 4 hours or 8 hours, I always felt tired. Cassidy who had been relatively quiet up till this point pipes up and says, "maybe you are going through menopause." Scot t and I started laughing and then Cassi dy admitted she didn't even know what that meant, she had just heard it in "F ather the Bride II". (by they way, we believe it is due to sleep apnea, not menopause!) February Highlight: Hosting two BYU Young Ambassadors in our home for a couple days while they performed in the Portland area. February Quote: A fter rushing to find Will's shoes before leaving to r un errands he tells me, "Befo re we go to heaven, we need to remember to put o...
