Second Spring Break

 When Victoria made the dance team at BYUI, we didn't know if we'd see her again until the end of July when she performs right here in Michigan and some other places nearby for their Midwest tour. Happy day for us when she discovered she could come home for spring break, the break between winter semester and spring semester. She didn't have any practice for dance, so we got her a ticket and she came home!

She arrived on the evening of the 11th and it was raining pretty hard, so Erik's soccer practice was canceled and Austin and Kade were already back from their destinations. When we realized that everyone would be home for dinner together and that it was Victoria's half-birthday, Erik decided to make a cake to celebrate! He put in 19 1/2 candles. Guess what? She can still blow out all the candles in one blow! I don't think I've seen anyone blow out that many in one blow.

Everyone was so excited to see her, they ran out onto the wet grass in the rain!

Austin's very proud to be taller than her now. 

Here's how the line-up is now.

She had run out of a lot of her make-up products, so we shopped for those after I returned from work Friday. She has expensive taste. We went to the track meet on Saturday to support Susie and Austin (his first invitational where he ran a medley with 3 other freshmen. They got 7th out of 15th and their opponents were all juniors and seniors- go freshies!)

Look at Austin drafting off that guy!

Saturday evening was our ward fundraiser for youth camps. We invited Susie's family so that they could get more time with Vicky. Kade was represented by an amazing cake he made and donated for the function. I'm still receiving compliments for his delicious and beautiful cake. 

The Bishop's family won it at the auction and shared.

We supported Erik after church at his soccer game as a family. His coach specifically asked us if he could be at a couple of Sunday games if they were after church, so we agreed. After the game, the Kish's come over to play games. I knew Victoria would want to spend as much time with Susie as she could, but I wanted her home, so my plans worked!

Throughout the week, Victoria was able to go to work with me as a sub for a coworker at Red Bell, which was so fun! We watched Gilmore Girls together a few times and went to lunch with Jason. She saw various friends when they were out of school and went to some track and dance practices just for fun. Last night, Victoria, Kade, and I went to see the high school play Anything Goes with friends. It was fantastic!

Target shopping!

This morning was very early as we had to leave at 5am to take her to the airport. After her two flights and then a bus ride to Rexburg, she'll make it back tonight to start Spring Sememster and more training for Dance Alliance!
