Coldplay Concert/Dallas, Texas

Rick surprised me by taking me to Coldplay in Dallas, Texas.

It was an amazing concert. This band is beyond talented. I've been

wanting to see them for a very long time!!

 In Dallas, we went to the Dallas Stadium. 3 million square feet.

 We took a tour of it.

 Dallas Cowgirls dressing room

 Downtown Dallas, people here are VERY nice..

 JFK building where he was shot. We went to the museum

and it was really interesting.

 6th floor where he got JFK was shot. Crazy!

 In front of the building

 The reason we came to Dallas, Coldplay concert. It was 

amazing. I've been wanting to see them for a long time. 

They gave us bracelets that lit up which was really cool.

It was a great trip!

 Random pics: Mia's last day of preschool : Hawaiian Day

 

I had a great class this year minus one that got expelled

for hitting me with a dictionary (long story) anyway, the boys would all

wear different eyeball shirts on the same day throughout the year to mess

with me. So the last day of school, I got my own eyeball shirt and wore it.

They loved it of course. I also just got our state test scores and they did AMAZING! 

I feel like a proud mom! 

Mia's first dance recital

 Mia before her dress rehearsal:I had to do her hair

at 8 am before work and pray that it still looked good by

11:30, then I barely got checked out on my last day and got to go

to the rehearsal. Next year, she's taking classes at night so I don't 

miss out. Rick has done an amazing job taking her these last 2 years though!

 little bit of attitude :)

 Definitely has her dad's eyes, you can see right through them

 This was the rehearsal, we were only allowed to tape

during the rehearsal and had to buy the professional one

for the actual recital. It was at the new Smith's center

and was breathtaking. I was soooo proud of her for going

on the stage!

 Her class did the classic Doctor Doctor

 love this part!

 they had to look surprised with their mouths open, too cute!

 Smith's Center!!

 The night of recital! All morning the day of she was practicing

in the office watching her video of the rehearsal perfecting herself.

She also was eating a ton and said she needed to keep her energy up!

 Everyone brought her flowers, so she was extra excited about that!

 Here's my dancer! I actually went to Bunker Dance when

I was little. The recital was amazing. Some of the senior girls

were unbelievable. There have been several on So You Think You

Can Dance and have won numerous awards. Mia's teacher, Miss

Diane actually worked for Disney for 25 years dancing!

 Of course it wouldn't have been the same without her 

babysitter Kirstin who has watched her all year, she admires

her beyond words.She's going to be a chemical engineer and is

going to BYU!

 We were so proud!

 Grandma and Grandpa B

Grandma and Grandpa M: both grandmas had to come home

from out of town for this, so we are grateful and Mia has been looking forward to all of 

her grandparents there! It was a great day!
