Dance Recital 2012

You wouldn't believe.  Little me...I got to open, yes, for the first few seconds all by myself, I opened the show.  3 times.  It was pretty awesome.  I wasn't nervous at all and knew exactly where center stage was as I walked out onto stage in darkness....


Mom prepped our shoes, made sure they were clean and laces ready to go


Showtime!

Okay, they had us set up our changing area...in the men's room.
Thankfully, it wasn't stinky...and there was a shower room we used
so we didn't have to be by the urinals.  Yuck.

Ready to hit the stage.

Here is the video of me opening the show.  So sorry it's blurry, Mom didn't realize it was out of focus because she was watching me, not the camera.  And, videotaping wasn't allowed either.  We'll get a real copy of the DVD later, but this is a preview....

Something is wrong with the video embedding, so here is a link to the movie....




Here is another clip.  I had my own pre-show rehearsal....
so I would know what to do, and where the curtain was going to be...



And a big thanks to Auntie Sarah, Uncle Kelvin, Logan, Tristan, Addison, Auntie Betty, Uncle Joel, Larkin, Joie, Uncle Chris, Auntie Susan, Jenna, Lindsay and Enzo for coming to watch us perform.

Great America

This year, Mom got us passes to Great America.  My brother and I are done with places like the Children's Museum and Happy Hollow.  We need more stuff.  Unfortunately, B is short, so he can't get on a lot of the rides he'd like to get on. He still has fun, but I can't wait for him to grow several inches so we can ride rides together.

Super speed.





This is a video of us on the logger run ride.  It's Dad, Brendan, me...

2nd grade Picnic

2nd grade picnic....it was a blast.  We had money left over in the pot and they hired at magician!  It was so funny.  It was at our local park and it was also pretty hot that day.  Mom came and helped out a bunch.  Thanks Mom!

It's Triathlon time!!


Today was the triathlon.  I had to swim 4 laps (100 yards), bike 1 mile, and then run 1/2 a mile.  I was nervous about the swimming part, but I've been "training" for a while now.  It was still hard, but I did it with Mom and Dad and B cheering me on...

Warming up our bikes in the parking lot before it starts...

Scoping out things at the transition area...

Dropped off our stuff...heading to the pool

Checking out the competition

Beautiful warm day in the Silicon Valley!

Getting in the pool.  

And we're off!

Relaxing in backstroke mode...


A much need break...

And I'm out of the pool!

Running to the transition area.

1/2 a mile is quite far!  

I did it!

Hi-fiving B when he finished.

Enjoying our cold drinks.

Kaela from my dance team also raced...

All done and ready to go home!
