Hey Everybody, Long time since I blogged last. June was a crazy month for me. The kids were extremely busy, so that means so was I. Cassidy went to camp with our church. She also had a birthday. She turned 12. I took some of her friends to Rapids waterpark in West Palm Beach. I think everyone had fun. Both girls are still dancing. They had their Showcase for Hip Hop Kidz on June 2nd. Then Daniella and I went to Club Med again with some of the Cast Kidz for a weekend so they could perform there, like they do every year. It was a blast as usual. Cass was in camp so she couldn't go.I got to see my "old" neighbor,just kidding Georgette, while I was there because she lives close by now. We had to leave from there to go to rehearsal for some music videos with their new dance group. They shot the music videos last weekend. I was warned by other moms that it would creep into the wee hours of the morning and they were right. We got to the studios, which were about an hour away, about 8:30am Sat morning and got home that night at 2:30am, yes I said a.m.. We slept a couple of hours and was on the road again about 7:45am Sun. Morning,that night we got home at 3:45a.m., which was just in time for me to shower and be at work at 6:00a.m.,went to Washington DC and back and home again to run Daniella to the orthodontist. I can tell I'm getting older, by the way I turned 41 in June also, because that lack of sleep that weekend just about killed me. We all had fun though and I think the kids learned some things about the entertainment business. I took lots of pics and some video which I will try to put up soon. I've had a couple of days to regroup now and I'm feeling much, much better.

MORE DANCE VIDEOS

Hello, Daniella's friend, Sport didn't make the cut on So You Think You Can Dance. Maybe next time. He's an incredible dancer. The girls are in a new dance group called the Untouchables. They not only do hip hop, but Modern, Jazz, and Ballet. It's tough for them because they've never had anything other than hip hop,but they are hanging in there. The practices are 3 days a week down in Miami for 3 hours each time and Sat. I am there from 1:30 to 7:30 because they are in different times. I taped some of their practices. Daniella is in the green shorts, white shirt and Cass is in blue and black shorts, white shirt.



Look for Cass in this one towards the back.


Daniella and Cass are both in this one. Daniella starts out closest to my camera and then Cass's group comes in. She starts out furthest away.


This is Daniella's group learning a number from a Chorus line. This was her second class. I think she does pretty good keeping up with everyone. In this one she is in the back corner, furthest away from the camera. She has on a yellow shirt and black shorts with her hair in a ponytail. It's kinda hard to see her because of the sun.

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE ?

One of the guys that was in Hip Hop with Daniella a few years back is now on So You Think You Can Dance. His name is Brandon, but the kids call him Sport. He already won Star Search a few years ago doing ballet. He is an amazing dancer and a really nice guy. Check out his audition video and if you watch, cheer him on.

Wanna See 'Em Dance?!!

Hi, I found some videos of Cass dancing. The quality isn't great ,but see if you can find her. Cass's group is in the light blue and white. She is one of the smaller one's and the only one with a black tank top under the white one.

HURRAY!!

Hi Everyone, Sorry I was away for awhile. The kids are keeping me running. Great news! Brianna's adoption went through yesterday, May 28. I went with her Grandparents to the court house and got to witness the incredible event. For those of you who don't know Brianna, she is my Goddaughter and my neighbor. Her Grandparents live next door to me and have had her since birth. They are the one's that adopted her yesterday. She turned 2 last month and is truly a miracle baby. She weighed less than a pound when she was born and had some other major issues. Now, she's fine and truly a blessing to all who know her. Check out these photo's from yesterday.

Can You Say Therapy?

GROWING UP FAST

I can't believe how time flies. Joey is 5 and playing baseball.

Brianna just turned 2 and really enjoyed her cake.

STEWARDESS OBSERVATION #4

Hello Everyone, It's been a while since my last stewardess observation, so I thought I'd enlighten you with a few travel trips, just in case you actually get on a plane without your flight cancelling. Travel tip # 1- bring your own bottle of water. Most airlines don't give individual bottles of water out and you may get thirsty before I lug that cart out in the aisle. You can't buy it until you get inside security though, they'll take it at security,sorry no refund.
Travel Tip # 2- if at all possible eat before you get on the plane or bring food on board because there is usually little or no food on the plane. If you're delayed for any reason you might starve. If you have kids -BRING SNACKS--
Travel Tip # 3- If your bag is too heavy to lift yourself or will not fit in the overhead bin-It is NOT considered carry on- Check It- No you can't hold your 50 lb. bag on your lap.
Travel Tip # 4- Most planes show some kind of video- bring your own headphones and watch it for free instead of paying $2 for a pair.
Travel Tip #5- When the beverage cart finally comes up the aisle, right before you die of dehydration because you didn't follow tip # 1, keep all body parts out of the aisle. Those carts are very heavy and don't always cooperate when trying to push them straight up the aisle. I've mowed over more feet and whacked more elbows than I care to mention.
Travel Tip # 6- WEAR SHOES IN THE BATHROOM !!- O.K. people ,we know this is a public restroom and not all of us are neat and tidy, especially during turbulence. Please wear shoes and have your kids wear shoes in these restrooms--I don't think this needs too detailed information-just use your imagination. yuck!
That's all for now- anyone else with a travel tip they would like to share or any more stewardesses have any observations- comment me and I'll post them
HAPPY FLYING!

MY PERSONAL CLOWN AND FASHION QUEEN

My daughters are awesome. They are unique with their own personalities. Daniella, my resident Fashion AND Drama Queen. She's hip and still a loving and caring, Christian girl. Cassidy, my hyper, funny, silly, comedian. She is a sweet, warm hearted, Christian girl. You know it's hard to be a kid now. There's many more outside influences kids are exposed to everyday, like it or not, than there used to be. You just have to teach them true values and beliefs and pray that they make correct choices. I know they will stumble and make mistakes but it's my job to make sure they know that I still love them and help them make the right choice next time. I am blessed that my girls are strong in their faith and have a lot of positive influences. But, I am the Mom and I worry and worry some more. Anyway, here's some photos of my girls showing their personalities:

OVER THE RIVER AND THRU THE WOODS

Hi Everyone, This weekend we went to visit the girl's Grandparents. As always it was great to see them. We chatted and had some amazing food as always. Finished the weekend off with dinner at Downtown Disney. I wished they lived closer.

NEW SAFETY DEMONSTRATION

Lucky Little Leprachaun

Sorry I've been away for a few days. We had a great St. Patricks Day in my neighborhood. My neighbor Jill found a little leprachaun under a clover in her yard. He said his name is Kai.

So, she decided to keep him.

We found out if you take off a leprachaun's hat , he can't sit up very well.

I think he wants his hat back.

Funny Flight Attendant

Hey- I think I worked with this person before.

GOD FAVORS

Hi Everyone, -Once again Pastor Troy's teaching this weekend was awesome. If you haven't taken the plunge to accept Christ and be baptized, I encourage you to just watch one of Troy's teachings online. There is still time today or just check out last week's teaching at http://www.flamingoroadchurch.com/ . No pressure just sit back , relax, and enjoy the teaching. I want to say that I am moved by every teaching at church , one I want to talk about is called God Favors. Pastor Troy did not teach this one, but it was a light bulb moment nevertheless. It was taught by Heather Palacios(http://www.heatherpalacios.com/), who is on staff a FRC. She just spoke about the little things that happen everyday in our lives that most people would call luck. Like when you just miss an accident on the road and you think if I hadn't had to turn around and go back for my cell phone at home, I would have been in that accident. That my friends is a God favor. Another one that Heather used is standing in line at Starbucks with your 2 kids and you're running late and someone says "go ahead of me". That's a God favor. We all have God favors in our lives whether we realize it or not. I feel blessed to be able to recognize mine and be thankful. So, next time someone let's you cut in line or you feel you are in the right place at the right time, say thanks. Heather if you're reading this Thank You, because hearing that teaching was a God Favor. :)

ZORBING

The girls -Full Speed Ahead!!

Daniella sliding out.

Be the Hamster!

We Made It!

Freezing and wet--It's winter there.

Has anyone out there got to go Zorbing? If you watched the Today Show you might have seen the anchors give it a try. They even have it on some truck commercial. That is what made me think of writing this. It has been a couple of years since we have done this, never the less, it's worth mentioning. My kids actually got to do it where it originated, in New Zealand. They had a blast. You could Zorb "wet", where they pour warm water into the Zorb then sling you down the side of a small mountain and you slip and slide inside the Zorb all the way down. My girls went inside the Zorb together with their friend Emily and the 3 of them slid down together. Miraculously, no one was injured and they loved it. Their friend Tim went down the mountain "dry" , where they strap you inside and you go head over heels down. You can go straight down or on a zig zag pathway. The owner said he was trying to get it over to the U.S., probably 1st to the Blue Ridge Mountains. I think there might be one there by now. If you ever get a chance to Zorb or if you have Zorbed before, let me know what you thought about it. Check it out at www.zorb.com .

You Go Cass!!

We had another busy weekend, but also had a lot of fun. The kids both had 2 dance performances each, Fri. and Sat.. After Sat. nights performance we took some of the kids roller skating at a local arcade and amusement center. They had "old school " roller skates, not roller blades, and the kids were a little freaked out by that. They had a great time though. Sunday morning was the new time change and church. I hope some of you got to watch it online because it rocked. It was incredible. If you didn't catch it , go to our church's website to the archives and check it out there. http://www.flamingoroadchurch.com/ . Don't forget to watch next weekend, I promise you won't be disappointed. The girls invited some of their dance friends to church and then after I took 11 church and dance kids the ice skating rink. They looked like circus clowns getting out of the car. More kids met us there where we hung out until it was time for church again. everyone had a great time. You know the kids are growing up soo fast, I really love hanging out with them and their friends and what's better is they don't mind having me around , most of the time anyway. :)
