I don't know why but I couldn't take a very good picture of this. The little treasure chest with Cassie's tooth.

Cassie had a loose tooth last sunday. It was just barely hanging on but she didn't want it to fall out until monday when she was at school. Her teacher has these cute little treasure chests that you get if you tooth falls out during school. She got her wish. When I picked her up on monday she was smiling from ear to ear and had a little green treasure chest in her hand. That night she wrote a letter to the Tooth Fairy asking if she could please, please, please keep her tooth because she had a very safe place to keep it. Of course she still wanted some money. The tooth fairy was very nice and let her keep the tooth and also gave her a dollar. This is only Cassie's 2nd lost tooth.

On monday we had a picnic at Vernon Worthen park. It was such a nice day. After eating we played for a couple hours then went to coldstone for some ice cream. This is the reason why we live here.

This week my mom has been here. She had a minor knee surgery on monday morning and stayed the rest of the week. Today Jamie and I ran in the Sun Painters 1/2 marathon. It was a little chilly this morning. Mom watched the girls for us while we ran. The race started at the Dixie Center and went through Bloomington, along the Virgin River trail and a loop through Bloomington Hills. It was a great race. Jamie's time was 1:33 and Mine was 1:40. We just hung out around the house the rest of the afternoon then later we played some board games.

Tonight was the girls first dance performance. It was at a Dixie High school basketball game. They were the halftime entertainment. The girls had a busy day playing with friends. At 4 p.m. they got in the shower. While their hair was drying we ate nacho's for dinner. I slicked their hair back into a ponytail and curled the end. This hairstyle was much easier than last year.

All the Pizazz dancers sat together until the start of the 2nd quarter then they went out to stretch and get ready. The girls did a great job! Jamie video taped it with the camcorder. It was kind of hard to find the girls when their group came on because they all had the same hair and shirt. Jadzia was on the opposite side of the room from where we were sitting and another girl was standing in front of Cassie at the beginning of her dance. Jadzia dances to a section of the song "Damaged." She is getting to be such a great dancer. Cassie dances to the song "Cry for you." It is so cute when she shakes her little hips. She is almost the smallest girl in her group. All the Pizazz dancers dance together at the end.

After their performance we went to Iceberg for a treat. We always share shakes because even the mini's are so huge. Jadzia and I shared a cherry chocolate shake. Jamie and Cassie got a butterfinger with hot fudge shake. We also had to get 2 orders of fries. They have really good fries (thick and fresh) and I love the fry sauce.

Their next performance is next Wednesday. They will be dancing during the Pine View half time game.
