We won!!!!!

I went to my first dance convention today...and my team and I performed in the competition......and....we won a few awards.  First, we got awarded a GOLD level.  (there's high gold, gold, high silver, silver and bronze).  Then we were awarded 3rd place by score for mini's (age 7's).  THEN, we got Best New Group (okay, there were 2 other groups that got this too).  But for our very first competition, we did soooooo good.  My teacher was super impressed and was floored when she heard the news!  I had so much fun today!

We danced to Old Time Rock and Roll (ala Tom Cruise in Risky Business)

Here come the rest of the gang

Fremont Older hiking

Before it starts raining this weekend, we went for a quick hike in Fremont Older. Went up to Hunter's Point. Some parts were really steep.

Nice views of Silicon Valley

Taking pictures

Downhill, finally!

Joie's 1st Birthday and Red Egg and Ginger party!

Joie turned 1 and we all got together and celebrated. There was a lot of food (chinese buffet) and so many good friends.

Here, Bella and I are posing with the birthday gal. (That Bella is so tall!)

Showing Joie how to be careful when holding an egg.....

Reading to Bella (I think)

How we spent our day off (MLK day)

Went to Mountain View for a bike ride around the Shoreline. It was pretty foggy and chilly, but we still had fun riding around. Too bad we couldn't see much though.

Up ahead is a boat play structure. It was pretty cool.

Brendan was riding pretty fast...for a little guy.

On the "pier"...see, so foggy!

A full Saturday

Today was Logan's birthday party and we had so much fun!! Plus, we visited the fortune cookie factory - which is kind of lame....

Then, we went to the Cable Car Museum....

And THEN...we went to see Yoda. Yeah. Yoda.

Here are some pictures from today...others you will find in 80th month...

Coming down the bouncy slide...whooo hoooo....I was one sweaty kid after this...

I was "in charge" of Joie for the picture...but I was scared she was going to fall!
