Dance Rehearsal 2015!

What an incredible year of dance with Miss Lisa & Miss Julie at Micki's Dance Studio!  It might be Mallory's last year... she always goes back and forth... being that she is my sporty girl... so whatever she decides to do... we love! It's just so remarkable that she has had this positive and wonderful experience! Mallory shines on stage with her smile! I love that she has gained so much confidence as an individual by doing dance! Miss Lisa makes an impact on so many! We sure feel lucky, lucky, lucky!

Mallory and Alexa!

Mallory's first dance: Showtime Ala Carte! It was one of my first dances that I did when I was her age... Yes, I teared up!

William is our biggest cheerer! He does such a good job watching and cheering his sister on! Love him! (Nate, Melissa, Jay, and crew helped save the day with helping me watch the kiddos while I was on stage... Mike had to work... so many many thanks to our awesome friends!)

The next song for tap was: Terrific! I also did this one back in the day! And... more tears of happiness!

My Goddaughter... She did - It's a Hard Knock Life! Brooklyn did super!

Salute To KC Royals at Werner Park!

 So after our fun hike at the forest... we came home for a bit... then headed out to Werner Park! It was Salute to KC Royals night! Plus... for the first 1,500 people, you receive a Lorenzo Cain Bobblehead! We were all over the free bobblehead! Oh my goodenss... can we say... another... BEST... NIGHT...EVER! Not only did we get a bobblehead, but they asked Mallory to be the PLAY BALL kid and for William to bring the roster to the umpires with the manager! Oh my goodness... a spur of the moment quick stop to Werner Park turned into a spectacular evening! To see the looks and smiles on our twinners faces... we are soooo happy to see them happy... so blessed... so much to be thankful for!

Seriously... by the dugout! I was star struck... and so was Mallory and William!

William heading to the plate to discuss business! What a cutie!!!!!

Now it was Mallory's time to say... Play Ball!
