Diva and the Stage

Let me tell you about my dancing Diva, since she was little she was what my mother used to say about her big sister she is one with the stage. She loves the stage and the stage loves her. The problem with that is the venue she chooses always deals with judges. Not that is not a bad thing but when your dive sometimes it's your world.

Pageants and diva where hard, she was just as beautiful as the rest, she was just as poised as the rest and she was just as photogenic as the rest. But there was always one that was better. Crowning was always heartbreaking she was always so close won many titles and several big ones, But there were pageants we went to year after year getting closer and closer to achieving her goal of the big one.

She always looked and did beautiful here she is in western wear

and again in swimwear

and here she is in beauty

Then she tried talent

Then she left Pageants and went to dance

Diva is far right perfect c jump

Production Yesterday this one won a diamond, overall and costume award, Costumes came from India

so with her mom made costume she rocked the stage she was awesome no matter what those poopy headed judges thought, she made this dance her own she was awesome and I was so proud to hear all the people after she danced people we didn't know say how wonderful she was.

She has come so far since her very first dance recital, I can never be more proud of my Dancing diva

Keep reaching for those stars Diva they are with in your reach

Snow snow and more snow

So day two of the snow, not so much fun if you ask me, So the kids got off school at 12:00 yesterday and today there was no school, so with tomorrow. Lilman spent the day building a fort, Diva was sewing bells for her bollywood costume. My hubby snow blew the yard. Me I didn't do a whole lot. although I did stone the flower that is going on her shirt for her solo and then I trimmed her skirt. Washed so clothes and cooked dinner. I am not sure about work tomorrow we will see I have lots to do but I really don't want to leave the kids home alone.

Her flower

her skirt before the trimming

Now the snow from last night

then today

Life in the midwest can sometimes be challenging it is either to hot, to cold or raining. We wanted to see the season change and boy do we ever. But we have to roll with the punches I guess and just know that where there is winter there is spring lololololol

Law Student and her New home

yup she went and did it, moved into a house with a room mate, wants to be a big girl and live on her own, It's cute little house, small and cozy just right for two girls. Duggie seems to like it too. ( the dog)

We left here Friday Morning really early with my van loaded and her car and headed to Indy.

The night before we had gone to walmart to pick a few things and a futon was one of them, Dad was not thrilled but she needed a place to sleep. At least it was in a box and we threw it on top of my van.

Her is the out side of her house

See it is cute

Complete with a Jacuzzi

Living room

Kitchen

hallway

undecorated bathroom

her bedroom

I didn't get any shot of it with what she hung up it looked really cute

Her office

Now I need law student to send me pictures as her house gets done, and she completely decorates.

Although she did find a good deal on a couch at goodwill with two recliners in it for 34.99

not too bad. It did make for two long days, and she didn't want us to leave and we didn't want to leave but we all needed to do our separate things. It is so hard to let them go I will worry sio much about her.

Alice Dance

This is her new solo, it's still rough around the edges, I do hope we can get it cleaned up and perfected before next weekend. She is going to have her work cut out for her I know. But I have faith in this child as a dancer that I know she can do it and do it awesome

Law Student has invaded my house

So law student is home again and now my clean and organized house for the next few day's will have boxes every where. She is going to be going through her belongings and taking a majority of them. this a big step yeah because it means she really is moving out. Moving out and growing up, she is going to live with a room mate but she will be on her own.

Not a college dorm or college housing but a house of her own. She will need all her kitchen supplies, her bath supplies and her bedding, she will have to take care and fend for her self. But she is a smart kid and knows what to do. How to budget,

It's funny as I watch all the boxes come in how many boxes she has, well she was away at Purdue for 4 years then Michigan for a year and now back in Indy. I am just so glad I have a child or I should say a young adult who is comfortable with her life and who she is.

Solo costume

Dancing Diva's solo costume is the only input I have on what she wears when she dances that dance. I normally look and look till I know I have found the perfect one. So far I have done pretty good in picking them out and have not been shot down yet

Her first solo if my friends could see me now

From Legally blonde

last year

dreaming with a broken heart

Now this year she dances to Alice and this will be her costume

Now I made the skirt I am very proud of my self it does need to be shorter but we will do that. It didn't take long to accomplish this.

this will be the top

under the skirt

she will wear one black and one red of these

and this will go I think on the top and I will stone it and the shirt

I am excited to see it all come together Now to figure out her hair
