a fun-filled Saturday

December 16, 2007

Myla performed at the mall yesterday, it was the cutest dance – “Orange colored sky.” and it was really fun for her because they had a HUGE crowd/audience. The mall was packed with holiday shoppers and it made me so grateful [hallelujah!] to not be out shopping in the madness but rather enjoying the entertainment… The boy in their jazz company is Ezra, Myla’s ballroom partner ~{remember to turn off or pause Jane’s Groove at the bottom of the blog before watching}

Myla’s 2nd grade CAREER DAY

November 27, 2007

Dusty got to go and deliver his “This is what I do” spill to Myla’s class. He loves it and goes out of his way to try and sway the kids into thinking he’s the coolest dad (i.e. bribes via gifts and such). He gave them each a name plate made at the factory for each student with their name on it as well as a basketball, head band and hat. He started by saying, “My job is the toughest job in the world… it is being a dad to Myla. She’s HIGH MAINTANENCE!”
