Fun Times!!!!

It’s been a really long time since I’ve updated my blog, so here is just a little bit of what has been going on. ..

Stadium of Fire
This year my studio, Ultimate Dance Etc., was picked to perform at the Stadium of Fire. The girls put in a lot of time this summer to learn the dances and had three days of grueling practices; I’m talking 35 hours in the HOT sun during those three days!!!
And although they were extremely tired and exhausted they made me one awfully proud coach because they handled it so well and looked so good on the field. I really wish that everyone could have seen them perform. It was truly an amazing show and an opportunity that I’m sure they will never forget.

After they were done performing the girls got to sit on the lawn (probably about 30 yards away from the stage) and watch the Jonas Brothers perform. They were SO excited. I can’t say that I was head over hills about them but it was fun to pretend. The fun part for me was sneaking Addie (Zach’s best friend’s niece) onto the field with me.
She was awesome… she told me who was who with the Jonas Brothers and must have thought I wasn’t listening because she gave me a quiz after explaining it to me. She thinks Joe is the hottest so here we are making kissy faces for him.

Thanks Kresha for letting me steal here from you for a while!


After the concert and as a finale to the show the old HUGE flag (the one that they usually bring out on the field for the national anthem, ya the one that takes up the whole field) was retired. We were able to watch the burning of the flag. That is one thing that I have never seen and it was one experience that was so neat to see! The flag was brought out by service men and women and put into a caldron to be burned. It was so patriotic and a perfect ending to an amazing day…Well besides the fireworks!

Thanks Misty for letting me be a part of this, sorry you didn’t get to perform your dance…maybe next year! hahaha
