Like a Proud Mama

Falcon Fever Dance Team
Moving back to Kennewick nine months ago was not the easiest choice to make. I felt at the time it was what I needed to do so I went through with it; over and over again I am shown that not only was it what I needed to do but that it was the best possible choice to make. There are so many things in my life right now that I couldn't have gotten any place else.

This weekend those girls up there in that picture, those beautiful girls, danced their hearts out and I was so very very proud to be a part of it. I ran the gamut of emotions during competition but the one that never left me was pride. And because the season is now over I do not feel bad sharing the videos of them dancing. (links to the dances are at the bottom with the times.)

On a side note, I fell down the stairs. I have a huge scrape down my shin which will surely turn into a gigantic bruise as well since it's tender basically from knee to ankle. Luckily only a couple hundred people were around to bear witness. Moments like that are why I don't feel guilty at all when I laugh at other people falling, I have given the world more than my fair share of "point and laugh at her" moments.



Kick Routine - They start at 3:27:00. They were given third place for this routine. I believe however that they deserved first, not because third is bad but because I truly feel they out-danced and out-performed their competition. We'll come back and get 'em next year!

Jazz/Lyrical Routine - Starts at about :44 minutes. This is where the magic happens, after watching it I think you'll agree that the judges should've come up with something higher than first place to award them.
