This weekend was the first official competition of Soar Dance Academy! What a journey it has already been and this weekend this team showed their work and dedication. It was awesome! Not to mention the fact that I forgot how much inspiring these group comps can be. I have missed that. Seeing a team work together and support each other and be so dedicated is beyond refreshing and just what Sydni needs. Thank you SDA!

Fluid Omaha 01/22-24

Posted on February 1, 2021 by admin

Sydni tried a new convention/competition this year called Fluid in Omaha. It was one Andrea had told us about and with it being close to our northern fam we decided to try it out! SO FUN! I love Omaha even in the cold and Sydni loved the classes and comp! Her solo and duo scored platinum and her duo placed FIRST in senior duo/trio! Then on Sunday she won a scholarship to come back next year for free! So exciting! And it made it so much more special to be able to share it with our Nebraska family!!!

Enjoy the pics!

JUMP KC 1/2-3

Posted on January 4, 2021 by admin

Sydni wanted to do JUMP again for her bday. It was in KC again but not downtown. While I love the downtown area this place was MUCH more convenient with the greatest parking! YAY! We also got a few inches of snow while there so that’s always fun! Sydni did her solo and duo with Summer there scoring HIGH GOLD on both! YAY! Her solo improved a few points from Nuvo which is exciting and was a big jump from last year’s Jump score! We had a wonderful time! I love watching this kid dance <3 We have started talking colleges which is scary and exciting so keep us in your prayers that we choose the best place for her.

The Girls 11-12/2020

Posted on January 4, 2021 by admin

We had a wonderfully busy and fun couple holiday months! The girls finished up football season. It was so fun! Averi went right into basketball season but Sydni has only had 1 bball game so far. Football season is special but its much better during basketball bc you can see them perform much better. Sydni started her dance comp season in Branson. It was a fun one and did really well! We did some quick Christmas shopping in LR which is always fun and the girls had Christmas parties all month long! So happy they can celebrate with their friends during these crazy corona times!

Christmas 2020

Posted on January 4, 2021 by admin

We had a wonderful Christmas holiday even with the covid weirdness! We were able to attend Christmas Eve services which is always a fave then dinner at Olive Garden …our holiday tradition then presents at home. That night we zoomed our family up north. We visited and sang carols. It was so much fun! Santa came Christmas morning then we headed south to see the Nashville fam! I couldn’t ask for anything more! But praying next Christmas things are a bit more normal!

Sydni’s sweet 16th 12/17

Posted on December 19, 2020 by admin

Sydni turned 16 this year! It just doesn’t seem possible! She has been practicing driving ALL the time since this summer so we turned over the keys and pray daily! Please keep her in your prayers to stay safe! We started off the bday celebrations with a photoshoot with Anne Marie. It was SO FUN and the pics are perfect! Exactly what we wanted <3 I can’t wait for Averi’s 16th 🙂 Then on her actual bday she had dinner downtown with friends with a surprise visit from her cheer friends who had practice that night and couldn’t make dinner. I am so thankful Sydni has sweet supportive girls around her!!! SO IMPORTANT at this age. The next day we headed to NWA to trade off her bday cash at Lululemon. Such a fun day!

Enjoy the pics!

NUVO Dallas 12/3-5

Posted on December 13, 2020 by admin

Well Sydni was supposed to have her very first convention with Soar Dance Academy at NUVO Memphis over Halloween weekend…but guess what?! That’s right…our friend Rona. So we rescheduled for Dallas, the epicenter of so many amazing dancers. And not only Dallas but since Cali and Vegas shut down so many indoor things AGAIN, all THOSE AMAZING DANCERS came to Dallas too. It was SO COOL. And just for fun our studio got the 7a compete time for the girls’ solo. haha…the girls were all troopers. You would never know it was 7a when they were dancing. Just gorgeous! Virtual awards were that night and Sydni won HIGH GOLD for her solo!!! She has gotten the gold level the last 4 years at this comp so it was SO EXCITING to hear her break through! Syd loved all the classes of course and Dallas is always fun! Being downtown was really cool …although the traffic and homeless people were not. We got to shop a lot and found a yummy place to eat all weekend that we hope to visit again when we come back for Radix in March WITH GROUP DANCES!!! WOOT!

Enjoy the pics!

Thanksgiving 2020

Posted on December 7, 2020 by admin

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year! All be it a bit different per the usual 2020….this year we did our cabin time before Thanksgiving…not sure I liked that but it works a lot better with the family activities! We got a great cabin in Hochatown again..this one was so big and roomy with lots of space. No hottub but beautiful views! Then we headed to mom’s for actual Thanksgiving. I am so incredibly thankful for my family and all their craziness.

Enjoy the pics!

What a great couple months we have had! Its weird. And its different. But we are making it work!!!!! It did start out a little rough with Averi in quarantine for close proximity to covid. But we survived. Lots of volleyball and football with lots of cheering and dancing so that’s always fun!!! I have a ton of pics this last couple months so yay! I am SO excited for the holidays and comp season coming up for both Sydni AND Averi. Sydni has a few chances to run her new solo before the beginning of next year and Averi will get to compete with her cheer team!!  Saying a prayer this ridiculous corona STAYS AWAY from our family and yours.
