You dancers are great and wonderful and mean the world to us!

Doug Donates Printer!

We have lift off! Doug, of Marla and Emily's family has donated an HP DeskJet 932c printer for the music computer at Connie's. Thank you very much Doug. Now we can print homework, really. We have AppleWorks and Word on the computer too. Also, we have a calendard program and we can start a calendar and print it. We just need a USB cable for it as I think it already has the printer driver installed. :)

P.S. I tried to find a 'D' word for the title "Doug Donates D... " but couldn't. he he

Showing Real Support

I didn't know where the event was this weekend but Amy tells me it was out-of-town. You see, Jessica and I were going to come see you all. I also learned from Amy it was touchy driving one morning - remember the snow over the weekend? (Click pic for larger image. Photo by Brian Ginn.)

Grand National Trophy

Miranda with the trophy. Sorry don't have a picture of all 4 with it, do have the whole team but not all Connie's dancers.

Congratulations Connie's Noe dancers

Tyler, Courtney, Mara & Miranda won Jamfest Nationals this weekend. They beat all the high school groups and most of the all star groups. They had the 3rd highest score out of 133 groups. Way to go girls, you rock! This is just the division trophy, the grand national trophy is taller than Mara & Miranda!

Danielle!!!

Wow, I was so proud of you, you looked amazing!! Your mom had told us of your drama at danceteam, and I have to tell you how awesome I thought you were!! You were so composed and looked absolutely Beatiful out there!!! Of course I watched only you so I thought both dances were awesome
Dee Anna

Nationals- Noe Middle school!

Mara, Miranda, Tyler and Courtney won! Not only did they win their catagory but they won the title of GRAND CHAMPIONS!!! Good job girls!

ARRIVED @ 6:55

My brother Mark or Andy has arrived today!!! And we were at the airport waiting for him 2 come to us. There were also a lot of other people there waiting for their soldier's to come home as well. We started 2 see people coming then he finally came in sight. My mom and I started to ball as the other people started to clap for him!!! I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT HE IS HOME FOR 2 WEEKS!!! Thanks so much everyone for being there for us!!!

As the Tutu Turns (Thanks Rachel)

Been with family over the past few days and had a great time (still having a great time). So, how did the competition go? And did Andy get home? Answers are needed and wanted by all!

Miss Mara Completes the Set!

Hey Ashely, I noticed your fine compilation of pics for your story below and the only one missing in the 'glow' style was Mara. So here she is! We wish you continued good luck today! (Click pic for larger image. Photo by Brian Ginn.)

P.S. Jessica just rememinded me at 9:30am I already put her on here but I forgot, redid another one of her. But I *know* her mom will like this one better.

Miss Alexa!

Mara, Miranda, Courtney and Tyler are at Jamfest Nationals for Noe Middle school. I believe that Butler is also at nationals. Wish them all the best of luck! They have a great chance to win this year! LOVE Ashley

Brie, Morgan and Jessica

Today Jessica and I met Mrs. Brie at dance. Morgan was there too. Always nice to see everyone. This was different. We were all there on a Friday! Well, Jessica and Brie finished her solo! Yea and, and I taught Morgan and Brie my special way to wrap cords. Okay, okay, I know you're thinking, what? Well, it really is the single best thing I can teach you. One day I hope to teach everyone!
All the best,
Brian

Breakaway

Somedays are just sublime. Take today, I get in my car, connect my iPod, and then the first song to come on is Jessica's last solo song Breakaway. Then it gets better. I recorded my kids voices on the computer about five or six years ago saying silly little lines. So guess what comes on next, yup, Jessica saying her "I gotta new dress"! Which on that particular day she did indeed get a new dress!
All the best,
Brian
