Daddy Daughter Dance

I was going through my camera's memory card and found this video. It was the cutest dance. I tried hard to hold back the tears, it was so charming. (I cry at the drop of a hat these days)
I originally didn't post it with the other dance videos because I ran out of room on the card! It cut out the end and best part of the dance. Then I watched it again, even without the end it had to be posted..... What good Dads....





(NOTE: This is NOT Ashtyn's dance OR Alayna's dance. Jay is NOT dancing. Therefore his tough guy manhood has not been compromised in any way.....yet...)

Spring Dance Recital

Aren't they so cute?!?

Last night was the spring dance recital.
Alayna has been so excited.
I think it is mostly for the make-up and hair.
After the program she said
"Finally, I can have this costume for a dress up"

Ashtyn has had some fierce rehearsals throughout our house.
Making sure each head snap and jump was just right.
Results made me beam, I thought every one was right on.
Ashtyn's costume makes her look so tall in her picture.
But she is not....yet.

I might be a little biased but I think Blame it on the Boogie was the best dance of the show.
I love that you can tell Ashtyn loves dancing. Her smile is contagious and makes you want to get up and dance with her.

The filming of Alayna's is a little off because #1. I was laughing so hard at Alayna and #2 trying to watch the whole group. Alayna had fallen asleep in the 5:30 show. I mean dead asleep. The drowsiness had not quite worn off for the 7:30 show.

She was fascinated by the lights and people. Jay was there to watch her in the 7:30 show and she kept looking for him. She even points out the flashing lights to Jay and at the end she gives him the biggest cheesiest wink. We were laughing so hard...

I love to see her grow from performance to performance.
