What a Champion!

Well once again I am blogging about DANCING!! Friday, Saturday and Sunday - What a very long weekend. We had dancers in every single session, every day!

Friday morning Tara wakes up sick and didn't wan't to dance. I left it up to her! She did dance and even got a recall. She came 11th. Then she slept for the next 4 hours. I had to wake her to watch her brother as I knew she wouldn't want to miss him.

Dan danced amazingly. He pulled out the big guns. I questioned him as to how he thought he went and he responded "I danced my best!". He sure did! He said his dream result would be if Marcus came 4th, Nick  came 3rd and Jay and Him tied for first! But ties at States is rare. Now to put you in the picture, at the Australians last year when Dan came 6th, Marcus (2009 Qld State Champion) instead of congratulating Daniel said "Just remember I'm still the State Champion and my trophey is bigger than yours." Hence why Daniel wanted him to come last.

Well the results were in, Nick 4th, Marcus 3rd, and Jay and Daniel tied for 1st!!!!!! Amazing.

Ardal came 2nd and Emilee came 10th. Well done Guys - You make your mother very proud.

I'll add some photos when I have them. Emilee doesn't know how to download them from her iphone yet.

Teams are wonderful, from 2 to 8 children dancing together. We did really well.  Some highlights = Daniel danced in 7 teams on Sunday and got 3 firsts, 1 second and  3 thirds. Tara and Dan with their friend Kirri came 1st in a 3 hand that means 3 dancers. Ardal danced a 2 hand with his friend Lisa and came 2nd, Emilee only dance in one team and came 5th, Cherree was in that team too.

But the highlight of the weekend was watching Daniel dance in the "Dance of Champions". This is where all the champions from all the age groups dance together then they all do a solo part as the crowd cheers!

I can't wait to show you the video of it. I'm going to check out u-tube now!

New Car!

I'm soooooo excited! Tomorrow I get to pick up my new car! O.K well it is a novated lease, but still.... It is a new car. WOW!!!! I went for a test drive last Saturday and took Declan with me. He was so excited that  it had drink holders for everyone. I was excited that it had sensor lights when I pulled into the garage.

The good thing about it is that because it is Turbo Deisel my children can't drive it when they get their P's. They can drive it with their L's. Crazy but I don't mind.

I'll post some photos tomorrow after I pick it up. I have saved myself just over $8000, but purchasing the demo model. Worth it I think, only 1000 km on the clock.

IT is a Holden Captiva 7 seater 4WD! Watch out beach, here we come!
