Last performance

Our downstairs air conditioner is on the fritz so this is our living room now. So white trashy. It’s funny because Alli was sent this AC as a mistake years ago and gave it to us and it’s come in so handy the last few years. 

We weren’t quite sure when Alexis and Damian were going to leave and since they’re only 6 hours away it can really be any time of day. They decided to stay Saturday and after a game and breakfast, we all got to work. Delaney said she wanted to make rice and eggs, and we thought she was just being Hawaiian like Matt and I, but what she actually meant was that she wanted to make okada fried rice. She was very disappointed in her rice, but very lucky she has a brother in law (and dad) that will eat anything. 

We were able to get Adi’s new sleep number bed set up and take Frankie’s broken bed down and move Adi’s bed to Frankie’s room and Adi’s old mattress to Delaney. It was a big bed switcheroo. Fyi - I broke Frankie’s bed moving it one day. 😕

Delaney and I went to her Saturday performance together. I took a little car nap, and when I got out of the car my phone finally started working and I saw that Delaney and Ms Marschall - who happens to be an assistant principal at LMS and also a dance mom in D’s class had been texting me that Delaney forgot her white headband. I was able to get ahold of Matt and he jumped in the car and got her the headband before her performance, but her texts to me were hilarious. 

A small sampling:

Her makeshift tape headband:

I quickly grabbed a pic. I hate when they ban them.  



It was another lovely night and after we gathered with the other dancers from the ward.  Cute girls!

The Wiests came that night which was so sweet. It was also the adult session of stake conference which I hated missing, but family first and I wouldn’t miss Delaney’s sweet performance. 

Cute school/ballet friends. 

We talked on the way home and Delaney told me she’d like to continue dance, so 🎉. I was hoping she’d come to it on her own. She’s really hoping to move up to the next level so 🙏🏻.
