Kiana and Myla, “my girls,” started art lessons last week and today I sneaked into their 2nd lesson at the end. It’s only been 2 weeks, but they are really loving it. I am anxiously waiting for their first pieces of art work to be framed around the house. Here are my girls attentively working on their “graph” drawings –

Kiana is currently doing a show that she is in the Kids Cast for a hip-hop dance. The directors are Rick Robinson, Kellie Messerly, and Alan Salazar and the show is called “One Night Only“. She will be performing still on Monday Night at the Vibe dance studio, and then the shows main night is Friday the 21st at the Sandy Ampitheater. It is a very upbeat fun show with lots of latin ballroom, hip-hop, and contemporary jazz. I recorded her in it on Saturday night, but the lighting is really dark so my camera had a hard time focusing at times. You may have a hard time finding her at times, so I tried to zoom in on her when I could find her AND she’s wearing a hot pink bandana,

SHE MADE IT! It was so stressful for me – there were 106 girls who auditioned in her group for roles as a party girl and they chose 28! There will be 7 girls in 4 kids casts. In the first cut, about 50 girls came out, and most of them were crying – it was heart wrenching. Then there was a second cut, still no Kiana came out, and then they announced that the last group was all the girls who had been chosen. In the pictures, this is Kiana coming out with the girls who made it. They are given a letter of congratulations, a parent handbook, and a cookie.

Kiana and I went to Salt Lake yesterday for audition registration for Ballet West, “The Nutcracker.” She was officially measured to be 4’4and3/4″ (almost 4’5″) tall which allows her to audition for a role as a “party girl.” The auditions are based on height, and tomorrows audition, of course. She will be up there 8-11 am, and then possibly be called back for other roles if it goes really well but she wants and hopes to be a party girl. GOOD LUCK BEAR!!

This was SO much fun! We were supposed to go to Deseret Peak Raceway out in Tooele, but we got there and it was closed so the lady told us about this track in Delle another 20 miles away. So, that’s where we went and it was AWESOME. The best part about it is because its public property and no one is there to run it you can go right on the track to take pictures, help the kids, etc. which I guess is not the normal thing at a private track. AND it was free. We set up camp 5 feet from the track so we were right there to watch. We will definitely try Deseret Peak one of these weekends but we will also be going to Delle again and would love EVERYONE to join us!!!

Kiana had her bag packed weeks before school began, she was so excited for 4th grade! She has a darling teacher, Mrs. Davis, who lets them play “PLINKO” on Fridays if they have turned in all their assignments/homework. Kiana made sure she did the 1st week and won her prize on Friday! FABU!
