Cinderella Dilema

December 27, 2010

Yikes! I just looked at the calender this morning (feeling sufficiently recovered from the Christmas weekend to do so) and saw that we are booked to call a dance tomorrow night! That’s all I knew, ’cause for some reason Jeremy and I hadn’t talked about it further. (Maybe all the Christmas business?) So, when he…

DANCE!!!

June 14, 2008

Jeremy got so many great pictures of the dance recital last night, I built another slide show so I could share all our favorites with you! We were so proud of all our sisters and our brother as they did excellent in all their dances. Also, there was a special guest appearance by the girls’…

The S.R.H.B.D.

April 10, 2008

For those of you have have wanted to know more about our dancing – hope this answers some questions! The dancing all started when several homeschooling families in our Church were doing a unit study on the civil war about 5 years. They decided to put on an authentic ball as part of the study….

Friday evening, after the rehearsal dinner, Jeremy called a square dance for a large group of family and friends of the bride and groom.

“Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.”(I love this quote!) So begins your typical Monday morning post from me – random news and fun!

More Dancing

December 11, 2007

This is one of the moves in the dance, “Jingle Bells’, which involves an intricate style of ‘ring-around-the-rosy’ with your partners. It’s called ‘making a basket… …and turning it inside out!’ This one gets people laughing, especially when there’s big height differences! Jesse was such a good boy all evening, passed from one person to…

Square Dancing in the Livingroom

September 13, 2007

Normally, we don’t square dance in our livingroom. We live in a 12 ft wide trailer, for pity’s sake! Even when Jeremy and I waltz, we bump into the couch. But we needed to try out some of the new dances that Jeremy will be calling on Saturday, so we invited enough people to make…
