Remember when I said
I wasn't going to bore you with more
GRANDKID STORIES?
You do?
Well.......I lied.
I HAVE to share this!
Our little Miss Ria!
She is in her
FIRST YEAR of DANCE COMPETITIONS.
This was her
FIRST COMPETITION!
FIRST COMPETITION!
Look at this solo performance!
Can you see how high she is?
The lighting changed from red to blue
throughout her performance
She is teeny-tiny and the youngest one
in her team.
Isn't she sweet?
Perfect form they say....
And such a heartfelt performance...
And the winner is..........MaRIA
with her teacher, Miss Kelsey of
There were well over 200 performers there.
She was one of SIX to get a dance scholarship
to a school in Chicago for a summer session.
Whew! Good work, MaRIA!
You can celebrate with a hot chocolate!
You look like a
WHITE ANGEL!!!
WHAT?
There's ANOTHER COMPETITION?
Who is THIS?
Your EVIL TWIN????

Maria has beautiful form....congrats on her win! Our middle grand daughter has danced with the Moscow Ballet Company at Pope Hall in Albq New Mexico....I love the ballet! hugs...
Congratulations Ria!!! I am sure it was a beautiful performance. The tiny girls make the best dancers. I have 2 dancers also, will watch them next month. Those were great photos, did you take them? I need you to take pics of my granddaughters too. :-)
Congratulations Ria, Beautiful pictures Nana, So proud of the girls and who knows where the adventure is going to lead with a trip to Chicago this summer. She will have a chance to see others and learn. Congratulations to mom, dad, and grandparents. I bet grandma took them to dance lessons when mom or dad couldn't. Have a great day. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend Shirley
Congratulations Ria, and you can see she really enjoys dance. She has to be great to get that scolarship, and she'll always remember this time in her life and tell her own grands about it.
Congratulations, Ria!! What a performance. She looks so graceful and regal, even. And a scholarship to study in Chicago, WOW!!! I know you are so proud. I would be!
I love her performance tremendously Nana.
Her positions as a ballerina are so precise and graceful.
You never know how the road later on will be paved for Ria.
In Ballet.
Grandchildren start to spread their wings and become so independent of who they are as an example the dance she just did. Then you know your once little girl.
Begins to climb high on the mountain top.
For sure be proud. That is what Grandmothers are about and grandfathers too. I find my blogs are of my adult grandchildren more so. I am proud too. We as Grandparents have a calling from God. Be Proud of your Grandkids and they become proud of you. And they know you are Gods calling for them.
And having a family and Grandparents who encourage them. Makes all the difference and they become that independent person to go on to new things in life. I enjoyed you blog and your pictures. Thank you for showing. Thank you for comments always to my grandchildren.
How what a joy it must be to watch her dance! I can tell by the fantastic photos that she is really, really talented. I know you have to be the proudest grandma ever!
Congrats to Maria! That is awesome! Wow, I can't believe how high she got. And yes, she does have perfect form! How wonderful to win the dance scholarship to Chicago,you must all be so proud of her!
She is so awesome! Hope she has fun in Chicago this summer. She does have perfect form.
Oh my goodness she is AMAZING and these photos capture that so well! How beautiful and graceful she is !
Congratulations Ria! What poise and elegance, she is a little angel! xx
Congrats to Ria!!! I have to agree...she has PERFECT form! What great pictures! I see a lot of dance in her future. How exciting to get that scholarship too! Way to go! :)
Congrats to Ria! She is beautiful. I just love a graceful ballerina. And please, please don't stop sharing grand kid stories. The grand kid stories are the best. I so love hearing about your grandkids. They're much sweeter than pretty table settings and household decor. They're eternal, too, so they last longer! :-)
Congratuations Ria! She looks wonderful and you can tell she loves to dance!
I love grandkid stories! She has CHARISMA that one! It jumps out from the still pictures! Maybe u can post a dance video someday
Congratulations to Ria! It is a lot of hard work.
Wow...she could be headed for So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing With The Stars some day!!!!

She's built for dancing! So beautiful and graceful. Congrats, Ria!!
I never tire of seeing the girls! She is amazing...I was looking at her form and it's fantastic. What a leap! That takes confidence and she committed to it 100%. What music did she use? And for the black costume? Go Ria!!!!
How fun! Such a talented young lady - I am sure she was thrilled! My daughter danced from age 2 1/2 through her sophomore year of college, so I am a sessoned dance mom, lol. Loved those times. Love to hear about your grands - they are a fabulous bunch! Jane
Just beautiful, Diana! Perfect form for ballet! Great achievement! xo Nellie
She looked so graceful and focused! Lovely!!
HI Diana! Oh, Ria is a beautiful young lady and she does look like she has perfected her dance! She is so elegant and graceful looking.

Congrats to the beautiful and talented Ria. Thank you for sharing these awesome photos of her performance.
I grew up in a family of all boys, so I'm not as familiar with dancing. Since I can't dance at weddings, I'm sure it's a tough art to do it with such skill and grace.
She sure can sore high, and she does have wonderful form. Congratulations to a perfect performance! You must be so proud!
oh Diana
your pride and her exquisite beauty and talent just SHINE here!
she's wonderful.
