Ball gowns, boy beauty pageant, and drill!
The MAG officers were in charge of the Prince Charming Assembly held recently. Both Kyleigh and Emma had the privilege of escorting one of the Sr. boys nominated to be in the pageant. The boys compete in swimwear and talent. They also perform a group dance number. I have to say it was all quite entertaining. Gave me the giggles! Kyleigh was on double duty and was asked to dance in one of the talent numbers while the guy sang. He made it to the top 3. {He has an incredible voice, but he was so nervous. Poor kid! I think she danced better than he sang. haha} The guy who won Prince Charming played the piano blind folded. He's amazingly talented.
Emma so enjoyed helping with the in and outs of this whole production. She spent hours at their rehearsals, helping backstage etc. On one occasion she was caught off guard by the half clothed boys changing back stage during rehearsal. {Funny stuff hearing that info coming out of her mouth.} Kyleigh was tied up with Drill practice most of the time. Helped when she could, but boy, it happened again.... Region Competition and this particular MAG event taking place the same week! When it rains it pours with this girl, she was doing some major juggling that week. 
After the pageant the group goes for professional pictures and then out to breakfast. It was a fun day for them. Emma said, "When am I ever going to be on a group date again with 13 of the coolest Senior boys?"
Drill!!! Four girls were suffering from injuries right before Region competition. These girls are amazing and tough. They push through the pain and perform regardless. It makes you want to cry knowing how determined and dedicated they are to the team. {thanks to Kyleigh's friend's fb page for some of these drill pics}
Some much needed changes in her jelly fish costume....looks so much better!!!
she now has to dance weighed down with four battery packs around her waist, with coral on her head and in heels!
WE TOOK FIRST PLACE IN REGION! Gosh it was exciting!
Kyleigh has great friends who are so supportive....
ON TO STATE COMPETITION...
Me and my Hannie decorated the lockers for State competition...
We put a "Skor" candy bar in the black and white striped bag for each girl...
Reviewing her performance...she was pretty upset cuz she messed up on a formation...by just a tich!...These girls put so much pressure on themselves...it's crazy...
Waiting for the results...
There were 17 teams competing in our 4A division. We took 3rd in our military routine. We were soooo stoked!!!
Then even more surprising is that we took 5TH OVERALL in STATE in 4A! For each routine they only announce the top 5 winners and we were not in the top 5 for dance or character, so when they announced the OVERALL placing it took us by such surprise! Freak out! Which means we had to have placed 6th in both dance and character routines to get that 5th overall spot. The team was just so happy.... So were the parents!
These competitions are the longest days ever. This favorite guy of Ky's is such a trooper! He sits there for hours...enduring. His mom has come to the last two competitions as well. She herself used to do drill in high school so she totally gets the whole drill thing. But he...he like needs a medal or something... He even brought her a bouquet of orange and white flowers. Just a super sweet kid!
In other news...
hiding at school...
It finally snowed again... YEAH!
Emma had her dang phone out during sacrament meeting... was being sneeky and taking pics unbeknownst to some around!!! I caught her. {put. the. phone. away. chica!}...
Junior prom is around the corner. {Can't believe we were dealing with that almost a year ago now.} Mr. favorite guy is taking a Junior girl. {the way it should be} He enlisted the help of Kyleigh, her best friend, who made the poster, and Jaren and I. Jaren is the one who came up with the soccer slogan for the girl he is asking, who is a soccer player.....
We somehow get roped into these shenanigans whether it's our kid or not.
We were out with with some neighbor couples last night. Such fun! Jaren and I had mussel shooters to celebrate a belated Chinese New Year...
Our Valentine tree...makes me happy!
