Dancing Queen

McKenzie has been a dancing fool this last week. About 6 of our Young Women in our ward are on the Tooele High drill team. They had a dance clinic last week, so they called to see if McKenzie would like to go to the dance clinic. They practiced Tues, Wed, and Thurs night from 6-8 and then on friday night they performed at the football game. I was a little nervous that she wouldn't want to do it, which would have been fine. But I also kind of thought that she would get out on the football field and start crying (sound familiar Amanda?) Well, she did it and it was so cute. The video is of their dance and then they lay on the grass for a few minutes while the older girls do their dances. The second clip is at the very end, they all jump up and step and clap. I was so proud of her...she has obviously inherited my dancing skills (not her dad's as he's got rythm) McKenzie also started a tap/ballet class with her cousin Lucy this last week. She loved getting all dressed up in her leotard and tights and tap shoes! Really, she had so much fun dancing and she gets a huge smile on her face when anyone tells her that she did a good job. It has been a lot of fun.

Party Attire

So, I told McKenzie the other day that we had to get ready to go to a party at Grandma Diane's house and this is what she ended up with! She is a very social girl...as long as she knows the kids she is playing with....when we are getting together with people she doesn't know she is pretty shy. A lot of times she will warm up a bit though. She had a pretty good time trying to get my friend Kelly's daughter to laugh when we went to lunch when they came in town for a visit. She is such a fun kid. I couldn't ask for a better daughter...even though she tells me to leave her alone every time I try to correct her behavior! She still says that I am her favorite Mom and she is my favorite girl. I am going to enjoy that while I can!
