Dance Recital 2009

WOW what a weekend! I volunteered this year with the recital... It was an 17 hour day! My job was to gather all these kiddies ranging from 3 to 18 and have them line up according to the line up, well there were 41 performances.. Aye Curumba is right! Hillary assisted Mandi (one of are favorite dance teachers) during the matinee, so she also worked her tail off.. Then she put on an AWESOME performance! Those hips were a shaking and she was a smiling!! I get all welled up with tears watching my girls perform, even if it is hip-hop..lol :) So Hills had a tap and hip-hop performance and Kassi had a tap dance.. Then afterwards Monica took some amazing pics at an empty parking lot with very cool confetti.. JK I kept calling it that.. What I meant was Graffiti! DURH!

Anyways I will be posting some more pics that I captured during the day as soon as I get them.. I got to play photographer with someone elses nice camera, it was fun, too bad I didnt know how to use all its functions.. :)

Is that heaven peaking from the sky?

So this is an old post that should have been done in april-may.. HA!

We went to watch Travis Pastrana, Ken Block and many others.. They were racing on logging roads on the coast of Washington, We drove down the whole coast, what a great drive... when you watch the races, you stand behind the yellow tape on the ledge of the road.. You actually only see them for a few seconds as they whip by filling the air with a ton of DUST! If your lucky they may spackle you with rocks as they rip by. Then in May we went down to Portland to watch them race in and around the area.. I got my picture with Travis Pastrana and his autograph.. woot woot! Another year until we go again.. I think I will wear a mask next year! :) So my pictures are all backwards, but afterwards we went and saw some of my family , here are some pics! I also posted a video of Travis racing so you get the jist.. is that a word jist?
