Dance Team!
Morgan had her second Dance Team Competition last Saturday. Pacific Middle School performed twice in the Hip Hop category and in the Dance category. They took First Place in both categories!!! Her and the team were very excited! She has really enjoyed this dance team experience and loved the type of dancing she is learning! Her coaches are great and really help the girls learn responsibility and discipline. Her lyrical routine is so beautiful! The music, costumes, and choreography is amazing. Both times I've seen it I've gotten tears in my eyes!! (I'm not the only one) Jon and I both are amazed at how beautiful she looks while dancing this routine. I am just so proud and happy for Morgan! Congratulations!

Friday the 13!
Last Friday we celebrated Valentines Day because Morgan had a Dance Team Competition the entire day. I decided to have a Valentines Breakfast and give them their cards and candy in the morning. We had eggs, bacon, hash browns, a pink smoothie and this yummy butterscotch balls:

Thanks Stephanie for the great and easy recipe! For our date night that evening we went night skiing with some friends in our ward! I was excited and a little nervous to go!!! It had been SEVENTEEN years since I have skied! The last time I skied was when Jon and I were engaged! We tried to go once before kids but it didn't work out, then with kids, babies, nursing, and more babies I haven't gone. Jon has been several times with YM activities and he even took the big kids two years ago while I stayed to watch the little ones! I was also nervous because it was Friday the 13! We got to Ski Bowl by 5pm and stayed until close at 11pm. Ski Bowl is the largest night skiing resort in the United States. We had a blast!!! It snowed for about an hour and then the sky was clear and the air was crisp. It was an absolutely beautiful evening! I felt great and picked up skiing with no problem! (A friend had told me, it's just like riding a bike Nicole, you'll pick it up easily) I'm happy to say that we hung in there with all those young kids on the slopes and can't wait to go again!!!

Fancy Nancy!

Yesterday Brinley went to the cutest birthday party! It was a Fancy Nancy Party! She was very excited to go once she got the invitation. Her friend from church and school, Sydney Morgan, was the birthday girl. Her mom, Amy, made it soooooo cute! She did lots of fun things with the girls including getting their picture taken! At the last minute we threw on some fuchsia, sparkly shoes, and many accessories to make Brinley look FANCY!
