Easter weekend and guess what?? more dancing

We headed to San Antonio for Easter weekend. Thankful for the extended weekend because we got to leave on Thursday. We had a very good time and of course it was very relaxing. We enjoyed some time at the Riverwalk, Ariana loved it out there. I have taken her there before but she was a lot smaller at the time and didn't really show too much excitement, this time it was a different story, She absolutley fell in love with the river and the boats (we didn't get to ride on the boat this time, but next time it will be the 1st thing on our agenda) She actually turned down the Disney Store to go outside and enjoy the beautiful scenery, I was in Schock, LOL...but of course i had to eventually take her into the Disney Store, i couldn't let her miss that even if she wanted to. (it sure would have saved me money though, LOL) She stocked up on Disney Jewlery, flip flops, and Sunglasses, it was oh too CUTE....We also got to visit with our family that live in that area. It was definitley good times because i had not seen them in SUCH A LONG time, can't wait to do it again :-)


Ariana danced at the Derby Doll Mini Clinic last night, She did a great job. The show was awesome. We enjoyed all the routines performed and i especially enjoyed the finale (its a tradional dance that has been performed for years) definitley brought back Memories. We were also informed that next year we will have the 40 Year Derby Doll Reunion. Should be very interesting and Fun. Once a Doll, Always a Doll :-) Ariana will also be performing at X-Treme Jazz Spring Show on Saturday April 24th at 7:00 p.m. They will get to perform all the routines they took to competition. I'm reallly excited about this show because a lot of our family and friends have not been able to see her dance since the competitions are held out of town. She did an EXCELLENT job at competition i'm hoping she does the same now that she is going to be able to dance and perform in EL Campo.


Our plans for this weekend should be very relaxing. My brother will be leaving on Sunday for the Marines so we will be spending time with him. We won't have any communication with him for 3 months but through letters :-( i'm already sad and worried about him. But this is what he REALLY wants to do so we are behind him 100%. Can't wait to see him when he graduates and is offially a MARINE, its going to be quite an accomplishment and i'm going to be one PROUD sister.

Enjoy the pictures and I hope all of you have a GREAT WEEKEND :-)
