APRIL MISC

Here's a little catch up post since April just seemed to come & go when I blinked. I can't believe it's already the middle of May & school's almost out. YIKES!! Although, it will be a JOYOUS day when school's out & yearbooks are really done! YAY!!! Anyway, here's a couple of things that happened in April.

Good 'ol Gilbert HIgh had an Alumni Dance Concert. They invited alumni to come perform at their concert to celebrate 30 years of dance at Gilbert. EmmaLee talked me into it & I'm glad she did. It was fun! Despite the fact that I was EXTREMELY nervous! I coulnd't believe how unsure I was. My brain definitely didn't keep it's dance learning edge like I thought it would. Oh well - it was fun & turned out ok.

Here's our group...

Our group consisted of dancers graduating from the '90's & one girl graduated in '87. There was another group that was people graduating from the '00's. They had about 16 people. Ours was a scarce showing. A lot of people backed out at the last minute. I almost was one of them. Right up to the preformance!

EmmaLee & I...{It had to be done! :)}


EmmaLee & I with Mrs. Gierke....

She's been @ Gilbert running the dance program from day 1. 30 years!! She wanted to do this Alumni concert because she feels this will be here last year with all of the budget cuts.

OK - another thing that happened this month to our family is that we have inherited the son we never had...

Really, I'm not one of those people that considers him a child, but he is pretty dang cute! His name is NUI. My sister Robin named him - it's Hawaiian for good. He was originally my parents, but once they decided they couldn't take care of him the way they thought they would my husband volunteered our home for him to come to. I was shocked & not excited at first! But, he's grown on us & fits right in! The girls think he's the greatest thing EVER!! And I enjoy the fact that he's tiny & not a huge dog. (He's a Toy Yorkie.)

Just for kicks here's a pic of him before his first haircut.... (He's only 3 1/2 months old.)

Here's what he looks like after...

He's one spoiled DUDE already!
