Fun at the Pointe Squaw Peak

Forgot to post this one, we went at the end of July right before school started. It was our one "vacation" this summer. I had received a free night in a suite for taking pictures for someone so it was a nice treat!

The girls packed like we were going away for a few weeks. We let it be because they were so excited to be going to a hotel!

Fun on the waterslide!

ICE CREAM!!

Ice in the Pines

Brynn had another competition in Flagstaff on August 18th "Ice in the Pines"... Auntie Janice and "Magic Boy" were going to be up in Flag so they offered to take Brynn on Friday so we could watch Brooky dance the night before. Brynn was totally spoiled and didn't want to leave!! She survived her first sleepover and can't wait to do it again!! THANK YOU to both of you!!!!! XOXO

Here she is getting a pep talk from Kelsy right before she went out to skate

Brynn and her friend Michaela from AZ Ice

She placed 5th - Kelsy thought she should have gotten a little higher based on her program but we were still so proud of her!

It is SO beautiful up there!

and we saw SNOW!

Here are the "babysitters"! The dogs (& Brynn) love running on the golf course after the golfers are done. 

Amazing!

and these temperatures were pretty amazing too! Can't wait to go back!

Ballroom Dance Showcase!

The theme was superhero and villains and she rocked it!

Brooky and her dance teacher Lowell

Here's the crew from Arrowhead Arthur Murray - they were the only kids there!

She did the cha cha! and also danced the merengue. 

A Cat Themed Swim Party for a Special 8 Year Old!!

First time having a party out of our house and it went great! We had it at the Glendale YMCA and had the pool to ourselves!

Brynn loved this place because we could have our own little room right next to the pool for pizza, cake and presents!

Everyone had a blast and she had about 25 of her best friends from school and ice skating - so special!

and she got a TON of gifts... mostly cat themed of course! Her friends know her well!

Here's some of the party planners!

There was a little playground right next to the pool and they let the kids go in there as well...

Here's most of the gang!

We weren't going to do presents there but at the end Brynn and her friends really wanted too - so we did it!

and Lance ("Magic Boy") had gotten a whole bunch of goodies from Universal Kids for everyone so we used them as part of the goody bags. Sunglasses, water sprayers and water bottles. Here we are sporting our new shades! Such a fun day and a birthday I know Brynn will never forget! HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL!!!
