Our Performers!!

This past week was full of practices and then awesome performances by our older girls (great for Mia and Lily, not so great for Piper who got to ride in the car a lot)!! We started off with several days of practices, pictures and the final performance for Lily's dance class. I have never been a "dance mom" but I have to admit, I really enjoyed seeing the different levels and their dances. Lily was adorable and was front and center performing her routine! It just sealed the deal that she has decided to try out for the company dance team. Lily and I are excited, but Jason is dreading dance competitions and more performances. Poor dad of all girls!

However, Mia is Jason's saving grace - she prepared last week for her first triathlon! Our rec center did a novice race (6 lap swim, 2 mile bike and 1 1/2 mile run) for all beginners. Mia watched Jason do his race a few months ago and was determined to try it. After just a few practice swims with dad and one run with me she hit the starting line (with Jason doing it along side of her). It was amazing to watch her in action - and her super competitive face. She finished in great time, and she even received a blue ribbon for her FIRST PLACE finish in her age group.

So, in the down time Piper's performance for the week was sitting and watching her favorite show - The Backyardigans - and just being happy to be home and out of her car seat. :)

We also had a fun visit from some of our Texas friends, who now live in Las Vegas. It was so great to have them with us for a few days! We took the girls downtown for dinner and to see Temple Square on Monday night and we went up to the rooftop of the conference center. What an amazing view and interesting to see the gardens and waterfall that exist on top of the roof. I had never been up there before, and the girls loved it.
