Team Dance and Stake Dance

It's high time to get back and finish the wedding blog but I have been so busy!

We competed with our studio dancers at Team Dance last Saturday (April 17th) in Spokane. We took the Jazz Club and the Stars. The dancers all did great. Among other things, we won Top Studio - so that was cool. It was held at the Spokane Opera House (now called INB Performing Arts Center) which is an amazing stage to dance on. What a treat!

This was the first Team Dance competition that we have ever attended and it was a lot of fun! The event manager seemed very nice but she was so busy I could hardly get her to give me the time of day. The MC was charming and kept us all in stitches - sometimes laughing with him and sometimes laughing at him. He was kinda cute too and I think he had a fair share of little dancers crushing on him. None of us will ever forget the pink-haired Dance Off instructor whose name was Siren. Enough said there! Unfortunatley, she was just a substitute and it's not likely that we will get to work with her again. Darn! A good time was had by all and we look forward to attending Team Dance again!!

Yesterday, our church had a semi-formal stake dance. It's not a dance where you take dates, it's just a regular dance where the kids get to dress up. Some wear formals out of their closets, others borrow formals and others go thrift store shopping to search for treasures that are worthy of such an occasion. Here are Kendall, Parker Weech (my nephew), Bryan and Easton Baker heading out to the dance in their thrift store finest!

Hang in there! I will get back to the wedding blog just as soon as I can. Be sure to check out Kristy's post on their new apartment. It is so cute!

They all look great, but I'm jealous they didn't have fun dances like that back in my day.
