Dance-a-Cross Competition #2

So we have our 2nd and final dance competition today at Adventureland in the Palace Theater at noon today!!  Granted we've only had 2 competitions, but the girls are worn out w/ it....Abbie was bemoaning putting makeup on again for this dance, really, is she really a 6 yr old princess????  They have more than loved the challenge of doing more dances, learning more difficult moves and being challenged with the experience overall, but I think this will be our only year in competitive dance:-(.  Awesome friends made, fabulous times had, but just not for the Hilton ladies I'm afraid.  They are super excited to actually learn the other 2 dances throughout the rest of the season until our recital in June, they've begun the ballet dance, and I don't think they've started jazz yet, our competition dance is tap, so they will be encouraged and challenged these next few months, but will be just happy to go to gymnastics meets and that's it, competition wise.  We are hoping for another 1st place day today, but will be very happy with whatever we receive, as long as they tried they're hardest in the end!!!!

We have 2 gymnastics meets in March and another 2 in April, I'm sure a few in May, and then Nationals are in June, which if either girl places well enough all around, from what I understand, an invite will be extended for Nationals.  We are loving getting the girls into the competitive end of sports and I'm glad they are having as fun of a time as we are!!!  Well, time to go finish getting everyone ready, then we're off!!!  Will update tomorrow on how we did!!!!  Happy Sunday!!!

Gymnastics Meet #2!!!!

The girls had their 2nd meet today at their home gym, Corner House Gymnastics, and knocked the socks off of themselves:-)!!  Abbie finished 1st place overall in the Level 2, 6 year olds and Austyn finished 5th place overall in Level 2, 7 year olds.  Abbie moved up one spot and Austyn moved up 2 spots from last meet, so we are just so overjoyed and proud of our girls!!!  Austyn is learning to slow down her moves and take the time to achieve perfection and Abbie is swinging her way on up the charts!!!!  Such proud parents we are!!!!!!  Pics will come soon once Courtney downloads and shares for the world to see!
On a second note, we have Emmalynn's dedication at my parents/sister's church in the morning and we are so excited to go!  Courtney isn't gonna make it because he's having to play manager of everyone tomorrow unfortunately, but Emmie's godfather will be there in thoughts and prayers!  It's such a neat time to spend with family and friends and we can't wait to see some old familiar faces coming to celebrate the joy of a child being committed to the Lord and the awesome responsibility that we have for raising her in the ways of the Lord as well!!!  Makes us so happy and honored to named Emmie's godparents and be apart of this awesome journey she is on!!!  So, that wraps it up for me...gotta get the tail end of the stomach flu I have gone so we can celebrate with family and friends tomorrow morning!

Weirdness....

The weirdness that is trying to text your blog post is that it comes in 3 sections out of order....so I guess I'll keep this to a minimum and only post something 150 words or less from now on:-).  My hubby feels that I'm not posting enough and don't have any pics, can't figure it all out, so he's gonna help out he's told me and also posted here!!  He obviously doesn't have his hands full with the 5 or more blogs he has, I lost count....and the several that he's helping to take over this year too...what can I say, the man LOVES TO BLOG!!!!  So, on with things....time to bathe Abbie and be all ready for our competition tomorrow morning, bright and early at 8am...Momma is a nervous ball of crazy and the girls have no idea to even be nervous, so I guess it's all me....I'll update on Sunday as to how all went!!  Have a wonderful weekend all!
