Crazy hair day at camp today.....

Dobson Academy "Camp"....

Dobson Academy has a spring break camp... bouncy houses, games, theme days, petting zoo. Today was "Jersey Day". One day this week is "crazy hair day". So, Jasmine was already pretty tired when I picked her up from "camp" Then...we had to go to swimming tonight since we missed swimming lessons due to the ice skating show. I wouldn't even bother going except that it was pre-paid. We came home.... and I gave Jazzy her dinner and walked away for a couple of minutes to check my messages. This is what I found when I came back. Just a little tired from the long day!:) Me too!

Clogging recital...

Last night was a little one minute recital for Jazzy's clogging class. It was an 8 week class taught by Kristin... (can't remember her last name right now)... Miss Teen Idaho 2006:) who just moved to Arizona a couple of months ago with her new husband.
Clogging is sort of like tap dancing with a German and Dutch history, but the taps are much looser and have a lower sound to them, kind of like horses clunking along the road.
Of course I videoed it but didn't take a photo until we got outside......The dance was to the song "Lollipops":)

Notice any resemblance?

Last show......

Today was the last Cinderella show! Yippee! Jazzy's kindergarten teacher, Melissa Wachtel and her fiancee Jeremy came to watch, as well as Gadiel, Abby and Jenny. It was probably the best show, as compared to last night when everyone fell down and was late for their performances.

We had a party after the show- cake and punch:) We were going to go out for lunch/dinner with Gaidel, Abby, and Jenny.... but they had to pick Mark up from work... since their other car broke down:( Jazzy and I went to Red Lobster right across the street from the ice rink. So did alot of other people from the show, so we weren't alone:) Jasmine loves seafood. She insists on eating the tail of the shrimp! --- "because all Vietnamese people eat the tails, and so do people from Arizona:)". (A Jazzy quote from today). This person from Arizona does not eat the tails! Yuk!

I am so ready for a vacation right now!:)

At Red Lobster- showing her hair. She had *tons* of glitter in her hair... which doesn't show up in the photo.

Jasmine wanted me to take a picture of her with all of her stuffed animals from skating this weekend- a mouse, Chi dog, Bear with a tutu just like Jazzy's, and a doll.

What a day!.....

Jasmine refused to take a nap today, so she was tired and grumpy at the show. Then, we waited over an hour for her second number "Falling in Love with You"... which was the normal time between her performances. I must have asked her at least 18 times... not exaggerating.... if she had to go potty, and she said "no". I personally walked her over to the warm up area, so I knew she was ready to go onstage. Then, right when she was supposed to go on the ice, she decided she had to go to the bathroom!! I was watching from the sidelines- and her song started... and no Jasmine!! The director of the show had to take Jasmine to the bathroom, and did get her back on the ice for a few seconds before the song ended. She (Nicole- the director) gave me a dirty look, and said... "why didn't you take your daughter to the bathroom before the performance"?. I transferred the dirty look over to Jasmine, who started crying and didn't stop the whole night. She wanted to go home, but I made her go on the ice anyway.... so,... of course, this was video night. (the night the video was being taped). Jasmine was crying for the whole finale- which of course, was taped. From now on, until she is 18 years old, if she says she doesn't have to go to the bathroom, I am going to take her, sit her on the toilet and stand there until she goes. After 18, she's on her own. Other than that, the night went pretty well.

First night of the big show....

It went pretty smoothly. Hope I get to watch the show maybe on Sunday!

Jazzy and friends.....

Grandma and Grandpa gave Jasmine a little mouse beanie baby named Cheezer. I gave it to her after the show. It was really cute, and everyone wanted to know where she got it.
