Zachary's Birthday Dinner


We had Zach's birthday dinner last weekend.

I know, it took a few days to find time to post the pictures!

Anyhow,
we had my sister, Cynthia, and our friends
Laeticia, Sean and Adrianna over.
Zach wanted his usual birthday supper,
bbq ribs, stuffed potatoes, corn
and DQ ice cream cake.


This is one happy boy!


After dinner we sat around the fire for
quite a few hours.


Ashley & Adrianna
being goofy.


Zach & Auntie Cynthia 


Time for the cake!!
(Zach had help!)

Happy 17th Birthday Zach!

Remember the previous post -
This is the outcome post to follow...

17 years ago, on this day,
at 1:41am
our wonderful son was born!


After 49 hours, 41 minutes of labor,
this wonderful boy made his way into the world.


He changed our lives!
We were forever mom & dad as of this day
17 years ago.
We were blessed!


Zachary has grown up to be an
amazing young man.
We couldn't have asked for a more 
patient, kind, thoughtful, loving son.

Happy Birthday Zach,
we love you very much 
and hope that the next year brings you
the wisdom you need to decide the next step of your life.

Enjoy your birthday!


Reminiscing.......

Oh boy!

17 years ago today 
Steve took this photo of me.


Little did I know what was in store 
for me that weekend!

I went into labour that very night,
midnight to be exact.

It was a very long weekend,
in and out of the hospital waiting for our baby.

This photo brings it all back.

I remember it like it was yesterday.

Isn't it funny how a photograph can do that?

Stay tuned for the outcome ..........

"The Performer" Competition - Saskatoon

And that wraps up the competitions for this year.
Thank goodness!

As much as I love competitions
I am always very happy when they are over.

This competition was a lot more stressful
than the last one.

Pure Energy dancers did very well
and learned that as long as they danced with their hearts,
and felt great about their own performance,
that was all that mattered.
Be proud of yourselves, we are all very proud of you!


This is what it looks like 
in the dressing room at 7:30am! 


Gold for their Lyrical Duet!


These crazy "Pump It" Girls
wanted to have a little photo shoot!

"The Audition"
We were sitting in the balcony and I
quietly took a photo! 
 They got Gold!

These girls are pretty amazing to watch!
It's so great seeing them on Pointe!
 We are very sad that Miss Laeticia is
leaving. She will be missed a lot!
She is an amazing ballet teacher and Ashley 
has learned so much from her.
Thank you Laeticia!

"Man I Feel Like A Woman"
was the last performance for the whole competition!
This was Ashley's first year in Jazz
and it was such a great dance.
That's her front and centre!

And that's the end of competitions!
Congratulations on representing the studio so very well everyone!

Unfortunately after the competition was over
dancers and parents were getting very sick.
A notice went out the next day that
Norovirus was spreading through like wildfire!
The water, 
that was available to all of the dancers,
 was apparently contaminated.
Thank goodness Ashley took her own all weekend!
 We have been fine, 
I think we should be out of the woods by now.

Nice work TCUP!

Anyways,
Thanks for reading!

Until next time.......
