busy...

...yesterday courtney had her dance exams so i thought i'd share a few photos of her wearing her National costume for the LAST TIME!! she got this costume when she was about 5 1/2 years old and even though it's gone through several 'letting down the hem' jobs, it has come time to admit that it is getting too small for her ever growing little body!!!! we have a NEW nationals costume that i'll share with you the first time she wears it...but for now here's goodbye to this one....how else would i go out with a bang ( me being me and all ) without a photo shoot???

...we will find out next week at dance lessons her results from her exams, but she feels she did well and was happy with her dancing...that's good for me!

below is courtney and kelsey...they both started dancing sept. 2002 together, had their first lesson together and still have their lessons together, and the rest as they say is history!! they have become good dance friends through the years and are always side - by - side through everything! however, it wasn't until i saw this photo i took yesterday that i realized....

1 ) either courtney has done some major growing ( which is true )

OR

2 ) kelsey is shrinking!!! just kidding....i always tell her to just say that " dynomite comes in small packages"....

:O)

...and this is the rest of courtney's dance pals!! she has her saturday workshops with them ( missing one here ) and they are all just a great bunch of talented kids!!

Lookin' good girls!!!!

today was another busy day....and lots of fun!!! a great relaxer from yesterday's stress!! haha!

I took courtney out for a 'mom and me' day today and we went to the MTS Centre to see the High School Musical on ice tour show!!! WOW!!! it was spectacular and so well done!! we really, really enjoyed their perfomance and would definately recommend it to anyone!

several years ago i took courtney to Disney's Toy Story on ice tour as well and it too was nothing but superb...Disney will be laughing all the way to the bank for the rest of their lives! sooooo awesome!!

here's just a few shots from this afternoon's show....

..after the show we went our for a little frech onion soup and shared veggie quesadilla at The Elephant and Castle and courtney ordered a root beer....

LOOK at how it was delivered to her!!! LOL...she had some fun swiggin' this bottle back and acting so cool.....for the most part...

Thanks for such a fun 'girls day' courtney!!!

:O)
