On Stage Dance Competition, Humboldt, SK

What an amazing weekend!

I love watching all of the dancers

do their thing,

especially when they are giving it their all!

We are so fortunate to be a part of such a

family oriented studio.

The instructors are all amazing too.

Ashley made us very proud this past weekend.

She danced like I've never seen her dance before.

It's like she has finally grown into her dancing feet,

everything was so fluid.

Ashley was fortunate enough to leave Humboldt with

5 Gold and 3 Silver medals 

as well as

a distinction certificate for her Tap Solo (92),

a scholarship to a dance convention in Humboldt, 

Outstanding Tap Dancer (12 & under) award

and

All Around Performer (12 & under) award!

We are so proud of her!

She has 1 more competition this weekend

here in Saskatoon.

She's ready!

Good Luck 

and 

Good Dancing Ashley!

My New Craft!

I am so excited

and extra proud of myself!

After Christmas I found a blog that has

awesome video tutorials on how to crochet.

www.craftyminx.com

I followed along and

now I am a crocheting fool!

Since Christmas,
 I have made 3 infinity scarves,
(1 for my SIL and 2 for me!)

3 slouch hats for Ashley,

6 berets for my nieces ballet,

2 purses (1 for each of my nieces in Calgary)

and 2 Swiffer Socks!

 

Who knew that crocheting was this much fun???

I plan on making more swiffer socks and dishcloths. 

They will make fabulous gifts!

Ashley wants a blanket and 

I found a pretty awesome pattern for lap blankets

that I can't wait to try!

And now I wait for yarn to go on sale!!!!

Easter Weekend

I hope that all of you had a great Easter!

We made our way to Calgary

to visit Steve's side of the family.

Here is the photo of the 

Turner men.

Eggs were coloured.

The boys wanted nothing to do with it this year.

We had our turkey dinner on Saturday/

It was delicious!

 Sunday Morning the kids found eggs.

That was finished faster than ever,

doesn't take long when 5 of them are 

battling over the eggs!

These kids are growing up far to quickly!

They are all turning into such a wonderful group of

young adults.

 Thank you for the wonderful weekend!

The weather was gorgeous while we were in Calgary.

+12ish, no snow, beautiful!

Here is the photos I took on our ride home. 

A little crazy that these pictures 

were taken on the same day!

It was a great weekend and we will be back,

sooner than later this time!

Dancing, Curling, Making Mom and Dad Proud

Another full, fun, busy weekend

at our house!

On Saturday, I took a few hours for myself

and got a haircut.

I LOVE it!

We had some running around to do,

Steve had to work at the curling club and 

Ashley had extra dance practices all day.

On Sunday morning

we got to go and watch the Solo and Duet show

for Ashley's dance studio.

AMAZING!!!

Ashley, Madison and Celina

getting ready to dance.

Ashley's Lyrical Solo -

"My Little Girl" by Tim McGraw

Yes, there were tears!

Ashley and Madison's Lyrical Duet -

"Gift Of A Friend" 

So beautiful!

Ashley did her Tap Solo.
(Please excuse the poor photo quality!)

She is dancing to the Glee version of

"Dancing With Myself"

It is so very good again this year!

Ashley, Madison and Jenna

are doing a Pointe Trio.

They are dancing to the orchestra version of

"Black And White" by

Michael Jackson.

Unbelievable!

They did very well!

From there we went straight to Zach's final

curling game of the season.

Unfortunately,

they lost.

They had avery respectable season

and should be very proud of themselves!

And right after Zach's game we got in the car

and were off to Ashley's game.

They lost too but still have one more game next weekend.

We had one tired young lady after she was

done curling!

We got home and Zachary

registered for his Grade 12 classes.

Yes, I said Grade 12 classes.

Oh boy, that's hard to believe!

We all crashed pretty hard after 

such a busy weekend again!

I am feeling rather blessed these days!

How Much Can You Jam Into One Weekend?

The answer to that question is....

Zachary was curling in the

Juvenile playdowns

to try to become Team Sask.

Unfortunately the best 2 out of 3

wasn't in their favor this time.

Ashley had a curling bonspiel

which consisted of

many games throughout the weekend.

David, Lindsay and the kids met up at 

our house this weekend.

We managed to squeeze in some shopping!

The girls found some lovely sun hats

and the boys found these lovely

cell phone holders!!

(Hahahahahahahaha!!!)

Steve and Zach had to head to Regina as Zach's

curling team was registered for a

High Performance Training Camp

all day Sunday.

Ashley had Madison over

and they babysat Jacob. 

The kids all had fun playing dress up

 and doing a fashion show!

The end was near!

David was having some snuggle time with his family.

On Sunday Ashley had one more curling game,

our company left

and then Ashley was dancing at the Odeon.

By the time Ashley and I got home at 9

Steve and Zach were home from Regina.

We traded stories from the weekend,

got everything ready for Monday and crashed!

Hope you all had a great weekend too!
