Last night we were in for a real treat.
Yes.We.Were.
Two of our little granddaughters
had a dance recital.
she made it to the finals on
So You Think You Can Dance on TV.
She is good.
Very, very good.
She opened a dance studio here in Green Bay
called VIBE.
Isn't she beautiful?
Our little SweetCheeks danced and led the troupe
on stage for their first performance.
These are the "babies" and had to try out for class.
She danced with 4 other sweet little girls.
Aren't they cute?
The "babies" always steal the show!
Her older sister, Ria, is really good.
She tried out and is the youngest dancer in
her troupe.
As you can see the other girls are all teenagers
and our Ria is only 10.
There she is front and center.
She has the heart and soul of a true artist.
It will be fun to see her develop.
She never stops smiling on stage.
I was so excited after watching their performances
that I thought it might be nice to have
MyHero take ballet.
I found a costume that I think will work.
I hope he can pass the entrance exam.
I would hate to see a costume like that go to waste!
I'll keep you updated on THAT!
Happy Monday!

Diana, When your Hero puts his foot down, tell him to be sure to point his toes. LOL Your granddaughters are so pretty. It's nice they can take dance and truly do enjoy it. That sure makes a difference. Blessings for a great new week, xoxo,Susie
The girls look so pretty in their outfits, Diana! They look like they really enjoy dance, too. I remember when my daughter took dance and was in the "baby" class. You're right, they did always steal the show and were just adorable doing their dance. Can't wait to see my granddaughter doing it. Right now she's supposed to be doing soccer, but doesn't seem to have any interest in it.
wow , Ria sure has a dancers body.. all the girls look cute and so excited to be there..I hope they enjoy every moment.
dance is good for the body and will build lots of muscular strength for later in life.
All are beautiful Diana, brings back memories when my now 15 yr. old granddaughter took ballet at age 2. I was keeping her at that time while my daughter worked. I was blessed to get to attend her dance recitals. I know you are a proud grandmother!
The girls are just beautiful! BEAUTIFUL! And I love their little dance costumes. I'm sure you are proud. You should be.
Awww...so pretty! So cute! And the first seven weren't bad either! Looks as if everybody enjoys dancing.
The girls are so beautiful and their costumes are gorgeous too....such great accomplishments they have made!...I am looking forward to their progress...maybe we will be seeing prima ballerinas in the future!!
Your grandaughters have smiles that light up the world!
What a lovely ballerina you have there. Isn't there something special about a tutu? I was about to cry with you over your roses. Mine are browning on the edges and I am about to call the company. xo, olive
Tell Your Hero my husband wants his clothes back!
(These pictures made me smile. Such happy times!)
Your sweet girls are lovely, Diane, and even though I don't know them, I am very excited for them :) Hugs to you!
What a sweet post and photographs of your princesses! Ria and Sweetcheeks are so beautiful, I know how proud you must be of your adorable ballerinas! Now, I'm quacking up at your hero! Oh my, he's such a sport, love it! You two are made for eachother, I bet you two are barrell of laughs all the time!
Hugs,
Nancy
You always leave us laughing, Diana! Your sweet little dancers are just lovely! xo Nellie
2 beautiful ballerina's.... can you get the three of them together for a group photo.....would love to see them with your hero! Hugs, Penny
The girls are adorable - they look so happy to be in the troupe.
About the costume for your husband - good luck with that!
As a former ballerina, I must say that they have such good form and such beautiful smiles!! :)
Hi Diana
Love this ..oh to have a little granddaughter !!
How fun..
hugs,Patty
Now I can't get that picture out of my head.......
Beautiful, adorable young dancers. They are very poised with gorgeous smiles.
Wondering how poised and adorable the Hero will be in costume? ;-)
Beautiful photos of the girls! Ballet gives girls poise. My daughter is a pianist, but she takes ballet too. xoxo
The girls are gorgeous...I miss those dance days!
Jim actually danced with Jaclyn in a Dancing Dads and Daughters class for two years, costume and all!! One year was Hand Jive from Grease and the other Stuck in the Middle with You. I'll have to post the pictures one day (or at least send them to you)!
Wonderful photos of the girls. They really do look like seasoned ballet dancers. What I really want to say is.....video....Video of Hero in his tutu and dancing to Swan Lake! Waiting for the update!
Beautiful pictures of your young ballerina's. I love the pic of Ria in the black ~ so pretty! Hero will look wonderful in his tutu....gosh I hope those are not his crutches in the back ground (?) Have a great day.!
On those girls are sure beauties and have so much talent. I know how proud you are of them. Yes, I think you should get your hero to try out for that class LOL.
I am rolling on the floor laughing.
Mary
How exciting, Diana! I bet you are so proud of the girls! I love their costumes. And the last one? Well,you might want to make the tutu just a bit longer. That might just be a bit too much exposure, if you get my drift!!
I loved seeing these pictures of the girls!! I bet it was so much fun to watch them dance! I know you've got to be very proud of them. :) Be sure to do a blog post about your Hero all dressed up in his tutu. Lol! ;)
You make me laugh :) Please don't do that to your poor hero, he may not be your hero any longer. Your girls are adorable. Looks like they are doing well with their dance classes.
Did you make all those costumes? Your the show stopper! Your sweet girls are just precious! Hope you are enjoying some spring weather!
Lovely to have you back to blogging; but we all need a break. I am really enjoying Debbie from Seashell and Lavender! Thanks for sharing her blog with us!
Love, Roxy
Oh, Diana, you are too much with that last pic!! ;)
The girls are adorable! How sweet and special that you got to see them perform :)
Susan
The girls all make a pretty picture but the last one in white he is just wonderful but he looks like he is in pain.
Merle..............
Those are beautiful children. That last photo hurt my eye :)
Our great nephew Jordan graduated from kindergarten this morning and we went to see him walk.
That are so cute at that age.
R
oh my gosh they are lovely, but if The Hero passes the entrance exam I don't want to know about it, thats a hard image to shake!
Your granddaughters look so natural on stage. I hope that love this and continue on-I think it is so good for young girls to have the training(it helps them with their posture). I would also agree with Laurie about tmi concerning your hubby trying out. I did get a good laugh but let's just leave it at that, shall we.
Hugs, Noreen
Such beautiful and talented girls! I would be extremely proud too. I hope they continue to like it and develop more of their talent. My son-in-law's niece has been in ballet forever and she teaches part time. Such grace and poise ballet creates in young girls. Now, that white costume? I don't believe I would ~ ;-)
xo
Pat
i love going to recitals and the littles are the best!--they are all so sweet, diana! the last pic is just so funny!
Your granddaughters are adorable. I am so glad to see they made it so far. I hope they continue to excel and make it far in the future. Dance is a lot of fun.
OMG, for a minute I really thought it was your Hero! How awesome is that about Ria dancing with teenagers! She must be amazing. And Sweet Cheeks and the "babies" are just too cute for words!
Your sweet, beautiful ballerinas are really growing up - and they are such pretty girls. Love the costumes too...Now, about that last ballerina. Perhaps he can find work on the Las Vegas strip!
Lol on the last photo! Kind of scary really....whew, I'm glad the other pictures are of your sweet and beautiful grands. They are sweet!
Well, you have yourself two darling little dancers Diana...plus your hubs. lol Both look so pretty in their costumes!
What fun and the girls look so pretty in their costumes! Now that last shot, hmmmm. Pretty? Not so much. lol!
The girls look beautiful and I can tell they are fabulous dancers! I think you need to rethink that outfit for your hero Diana, I think he might want one with a few more flounces. LOL
You are so darn funny Diana!!!!! Yes, how you could you let a good dance costume like that go to waste? Ria is a little beauty and what an honor to be in a class of older girls. She must have what it takes!!!!
I love the class photos---thanks for sharing them with us.
sending big hugs...
The girls look so cute! I'm glad they're enjoying their dancing! Hugs, Leena
They are just so adorable and the photos are just the best! Glad they both had a good recital. So pretty.
Diana,
SweetCheeks and Ria are so talented. They look so cute in their costumes. How fun for them that a dance studio was opened in your area. Now, they can really express themselves. You have wonderful Grandchildren, Diana.
love,
~Sheri
That last photo sure made me laugh. He barely fit in that outfit!! And he was in a public venue??!!! Brave man!
The grand daughters were sure lovely! I hope they enjoy their dance lessons for years!
Oh, gosh, the girls look just darling in their outfits. What a fun evening you must have had. The last photo was a hoot! LOL I hope it has finally warmed up in your neck of the woods!
haha. your poor husband. the girls look very lovely in there dance outfits. oh to be young again!
Wow, Ria looks like a pro ballerina! It's great exercise at the least and a wonderful way to learn artistic expressions at the best. I'm sure Grandma was beaming with pride at both of them.
well that sure brings back some great memories! sure have sat through many dance recitals.....and loved them all. The granddaughters are precious!! So glad you got to attend! what songs did they perform to?
They are enjoying their dance!
Wow how fun! You must be beaming with pride! Both girls look fabulous and those pictures are perfect! I think we can be glad that most men don't dress up like that! Lol
I'm getting caught up from yesterday. The girls look beautiful. I'm sure they enjoy dance. I had hoped Josie would enjoy dance, but she'd rather practice her Ninja skills.
Oh my your Grands are beautiful! It is so fun to watch them with such pride!!
But glad you saved the "best" or I'd it the "worse" for the last..lol
Blessings,
Gert
Your granddaughters are adorable in their pretty dance outfits. This is great for them - I studied ballet for 10 years, en pointe for almost 6 years - until I realized I was growing into a buxom hobbit and would never be a graceful willow branch as dancers are........your Ria is such a willow - she looks incredibly graceful and flowy - what a treat for you to watch this. Their teacher is a stunning beauty, as is that last pic - gorgeous. Not. Yikes.
Hugs.
Ahahahahah! You're funny, Diana! Poor your Hero But then, I'm sure he never has a boring moment with you! As for the girls, they look so sweet! I used to love going to my granddaughters' dance recitals!
Oh how I hoped Freya would dance, but I took her to a class and she stubbornly announced, "I am not wearing them shoes!" Both girls look lovely. I would love to go to an evening like that.
Oh my, your little grands look so adorable. I do hope you realize what a good sport your HERO is.....lol!
oh my your Hero is a good sport a real keeper . I mean the whole website is looking. He is a brave soul.
Oh the girls are adorable. A wonderful performances by all. What a Nanna you are. You have become such a dedicated Nanna . I miss those days
with my young grandchildren. They grow up so fast..
Pretty girls! I know you are proud. My oldest took dance and I remember all the practices, rehearsals and recitals... good times.
That last photo hurt my eyes....
