What’s Wrong With This Picture?

I always knew we were screwed up here in Mr Papa’s World. Just look at the activities around the homestead today… Suzanne made a trip to Home Depot this morning to get some hardware supplies for the decorating project in Savannah’s room. She wanted her room redone as her Birthday present. Meanwhile, Mr Papa was […]

Xmas Dance Recital

Tonight was the Christmas Dance Recital for Suzanne and the kids. Savannah was in about 6 dances and Sean was in about 5 dances. Suzanne only had one dance tonight. The dance recital was again held at the Buena Performing Arts Center in Sierra Vista, AZ. This is where they are usually held. Tonight, it […]

Cheerleading Competition

Today was the County cheerleading competition for Savannah’s cheer team.  The girls are the cheerleaders for Sean’s football team.  Suzanne is the cheer coach. Last year, the girls won the competition.  This year, however, was going to be tougher as several of the older girls on the team moved up in age group and for […]

NutriSystem Diet Week 2 Update

Week 2 is in the books for the NutriSystem Diet that I have begun. This week was just a bit harder since we had a family outing at Benihana’s Teppinyaki Restaurant to celebrate Sean’s birthday. I believe that I made very good choices for dinner but I am also sure that I ate more than […]

They will be doing a bunch of things from Cats. Their dance company puts on many recitals throughout the year. They have the Spring Recital, […]

Pictures From Showstoppers National Dance Finals

I have uploaded some photos from Suzanne and Savannah’s trip last week to Anaheim, CA for the Showstoppers West Coast National Dance Finals. Suzanne didn’t get any photos from the actual competition due to theater lighting and flash distraction to the dancers. These shots do a good job at showcasing the wonderful costumes these dancers […]

National Showstoppers Dance Finals – Day 2 Savannah

Day 2 is in the books for Savannah at the Showstoppers West Coast National Finals Dance competition. She only had one dance today and will spend the rest of the day at workshops. Her dance today was in the Junior Large Group Recreational class. The dance was in the Lyrical/Modern category. Savannah’s team performed “Masquerade” […]

National Showstoppers Dance Finals – Day 1 Suzanne

Suzanne completed her first day of dance competition late last night. Her one dance for the day was in the Senior Small Group Competitive in the Folkloric category. Yes, she was in the competitive class and not the recreational. I think this was because this group of dancers originally were in the teachers class due […]
