It's Ballroom Dance Season!

Tis the season for ballroom dance competitions which means our lives right now are all about the kids (isn't it always all about the kids?). Last weekend we had the Gem State Competition here in Idaho Falls. Brandon dances with Bonneville High School's Ballroom Dance Team and they did so AWESOME! They are doing a rock latin medley which is just so cool and we were all so proud of their performance. They took 2nd place only 1.4 points behind the 1st place winner. Tyler dances with the Extreme Ballroom Preteen Medley Team. They danced a Latin Medley to Kung Fu Panda and a Standard Medley to Monsters, Inc. They took 1st place in their age group. Tyler also danced an open latin routine with Taylor Taggart and they took 1st place. They did AWESOME! Sara dances with the Extreme Preteen Show Team and they also took 1st in their division. Tyler and Sara also competed in several syllabus dances and I was so proud of them. This was Sara's first year dancing in the Preteen Division so she was competing against kids quite a bit older than her. Next up is Nationals in Provo next week. We love ballroom dance at our house and we love watching our kids perfom. We're so proud of them!Tyler and Taylor Taggart with their 1st place medals
Kent was so proud of how well Sara did so he bought her a rose
