Reagan had her 2nd dance competition this past weekend. This time Andy went along and we made it a family affair.
We tried out a new to us pizza place once in Bettendorf, on recommendation from a friend- delicious pizza!
A little pool time with dance friends after checking into the hotel:
Performance day!
Her competition small group received Elite High Gold and first place overall!
Her competition large group production received Platinum, First place overall and the Entertainer's award for best dance!
It was a very successful weekend and Rea loved every minute of it! She has worked very hard in practice and for that to translate to the stage and get approval from the judges is a great goal to accomplish. We are so proud of her!
Celebrating with ice cream! New to us- Whitey's!
Joys and tribulations, rants and rambles, insights and embarrassing moments...Taking in all of life and what it has to offer!

Firsts~ 2nd grade Music concert
Reagan had her 2nd grade music concert last week- the theme was Spaced Out!
This is the first year she had to try out for a speaking part and a large group solo. She got both a speaking part and the singing part, which she was so very excited about! She was a scientist and wanted to look the part, naturally. :) Lab coat off Amazon worked great!
We love her music teacher- she is just the best! The kids put on a great show!
Her cheering section:

Firsts- Dance competition
Rea attended her very first dance competition last weekend and it was a lot of fun! Exhausting, hard work, with travel involved but we made it through and have lots of great memories!
The highlights-
Earning high gold in their group performance, and 1st place overall. Then earning platinum on the large group performance! Definitely a weekend to remember and I'm thankful Rea's first dance competition weekend started off so exciting.
On the road:
We made it!
Downtime:
Let's do this!
Awards!
Cheers!
