Ballet Class

For those of you that don't know I got a job. I accepted a part time position at the Montana Ballet Co. Because of this we have enrolled bear in ballet classes. Last week was her first day and mommy didnt bring her camera so this week we did. 
How did last week go: 
As you will see in the pics they start class off on their little carpet square saying Bonjour to their feet, stretching by making pizza and doing other little exercises.
 Then they get up and do some ballet exercises like a ballet version  of Im a little Tea Pot, skip holding a carousel umbrella and jumping over garland. Well the first day bear woouldnt move from her spot on the carpet. She sat dead still the whole time. Talking to her afterwards you would have thought she had participated. She loved it and had a great time. 
How did today go?
She did great, I sat in the corner of the studio and she actually got up and participated in most of the activities... We are both so proud of her! 
Here she is getting ready for class.  
 Beginning of class on the carpet square. This is where she stayed the whole time last time. I was on the outside of the glass window for the beginning of class! 
 Mrs. Krista leading the class, Bear watching!

It is so cute to see her trying the moves and arm positions. Krista is fantastic and relates all the ballet stuff to things they know and understand! We are so excited to be part of such a great company and community!

Bear said:



Oh no mommy I think I just crapped my pants... no wait my shorts! That is one way of saying you have gas I guess.

on the way to the potty: wait mommy i need a magazine to read cause its going to be stinky!

can i have your ear cause i want to whisper in it and ask if i can go to the dinosaur park. Then lifts her hands to cup her mouth and then whispers
"can i go to the dino park".


Whitefish Vacation Trip

 At the top of the Going to the Sun road. We saw snow!!!

 Whitefish lake beach with all the cousins and Aunts! 
 One day we went to a black bear enclosure! Bear loved it. But i think she might have liked sitting in the front seat better then seeing the bears. 
My bear does her best bear growl!!
 Boat Day! We had a fantastic day, we went with the Dobransky family and rented a boat for the afternoon. We had lunch on the boat, did a little intertubing and then called it a day. It was great fun!





 Bear wanted to take daddy on the red bus tour but they were all booked. So we drove up on our own... following Grandma Billie and Papa.
