Kiana and Myla both have new ballroom partners for the upcoming dance year.
For Myla, this is her 3rd year of ballroom, and her 2nd partner. She danced with Ezra the past 2 years, but their partnership has retired.
Now, she is dancing with Ammon. Today was their first competition together, and for Ammon it was his first ballroom competition ever. They did a cha-cha, and were so cute together!
They did great!

It has been 6 years since Kiana, Myla, and I have been to the Philippines, way too long. This was KJ’s first trip.
It takes 27 hours to go from point A to point B for this trip. A friend of ours who visited the Phillipphines told us about using a transportation service called 2go travel but we had already made our plans. The kids are troopers, their parents are super-troopers. When we arrive in Manila, Dusty has made it a habit to spend the night at Edsa Shangri-la for a night then the next morning, we make the drive to the factory about 2 hours north of Manila to Angeles. 
this is how my camera takes pictures –

kiana’s 3v3 indoor soccer team had such a great game last night! I think every girl scored a goal last night, with some getting more than one. They played a relatively hard team. The entire game was neck in neck, but in the final seconds the score was 10-9 and the other team was up. When the buzzer went off Chanel had a beautiful pass to McKenna who shot & scored {woo-hoo!} and they tied the game 10-10. It was so awesome! Way to go, rockstars!
And, thanks to Daddy they have these adorable new jerseys!

Kiana’s indoor soccer team was booted up a division this season from U10 to U12, and with that change they also decided to change their name to –
ROCKSTARS
With a new name, must come new uniforms…
thank you, Daddy!
The uniforms came in this week and were brought home, she had to break hers out and try it on tonight – she is #1 just as Myla and I both are on our teams.
I think the jerseys turned out awesome, uber work designing them KC!
{Us soccer mom’s are going to rhinestone their numbers!}
Good Luck Rockstars!
