Here is MARIAH doing a little driveway performance, where she was CELEBRATING being the STAR of her own little show! |
 |
She not only played her dollarama flute, it also doubled as a microphone when she did some singing! STAR QUALITY performer!!! |
 |
This costume has done many performances in it's days! Jana did her very first tap solo in this one in 1989, and it was on loan a couple of times to other little dancers along the way... but now Mariah loves to strutt her stuff in this one, too! |
 |
Here is SHUFFLE getting in the act! She is a little performer, too, and as you can see loves a costume as well. |
 |
Mariah posing for me here on Friday in her "DANCE DANCE DANCE" shirt! Next week she will be in full swing as she is enrolled in Tap, Jazz and Ballet at BRENDA'S SCHOOL OF BATON and DANCE |

Here is another little performer... BEAU when he slept over here on Saturday night. Can you SPOT his STAR QUALITY SMiLE!!!!! |

Beau creating a special piece of art work by adding STICKERS (or "dickers" as he says)... and STARS to a little masterpiece! |
 |
BEAU thought he was pretty funny in his "BUMMA'S" glasses! ( I must say they look cuter on him than they do on me!!!) |
 |
Brian and Beau out for a Sunday morning stroll yesterday here in front of the house we moved into 30 years ago! That is worth a CELEBRATION! |
 |
Brian adding some cars and trucks to the sidewalk art work... Beau was enjoying time spent here with his POPPA who was sharing his STAR QUALITY talents! |

Here was Beau when he had a sleep over here last weekend. Once again with his STAR QUALITY little SMiLE! Today as we CELEBRATE the Labour Day weekend... I got to thinking of how every day can be a CELEBRATiON if we choose to turn it into one. Really LIFE is a lot like a DANCE... the steps may vary from person to person, but in the end it is all about doing what makes your heart SMiLE! I have been doing many little celebrations lately with more to come. Last weekend I met up with former dance student, Priscilla Ma, who returned home for a visit. It was great to connect and celebrate memories of our dance times together long ago. Also last weekend, I was celebrating my nephew, Jeff's fiance, Savannah at a beautiful wedding shower held for her by one of her bridesmaids. It was to have been held out doors, but due to rainy weather it moved inside the lovely home of her girlfriend who put on the shower. All last week I was celebrating my love of TAPPiNESS while teaching at a dance summer school held in the city at a studio called "Kristy's Dance Fusion". It was great to connect with some dancers as well as my tap shoes once again and enjoy some STAR QUALiTY dancing... by the awesome staff she hired and her students in attendance. We have enjoyed a couple of fun times with the grandkids this past week. I bonded with Mariah on friday for a little outing to PURE the frozen yogurt place. We also did a little shopping at Dollarama, followed by a fun little showcase she performed for me and my neighbor, Heather on Friday. It reminded me of many of my childhood memories and ones of Jana growing up as well. We also had Beau for two saturday sleepovers in a row. He slept here this past weekend, due to a CELEBRATION Jana and Nels were invited to in honor of an uncle of Nels, who was retiring. Mariah was good to go for the party... but Beau would be too little! We enjoyed every minute of having one on one time with each grandchild! Beau is so cute... and is becoming a real little cookie monster! This weekend, I was reminded of how we moved into our current house 30 years ago on September 1st. My two kids, Colin and Jana were toddlers then at the ages of 3 and 1 ... so many CELEBRATIONS have occured in the house and journey continues. Yesterday I CELEBRATED my first day back to the gym with my friend Ella in a while. We shared a little catch up time over coffee at her place. I later went for a catch up with my cousin, Gwen over a STARBUCKS, too! Today we will be doing another CELEBRATION as we are invited for a belated birthday party to CELEBRATE BEAU's 2nd from August, and his GRANDPA ARVID who turned 60 in July. With the Edmonton Grandparents in town... it called for a reason to CELEBRATE! Today my brother-in-law, Bruce, from Vancouver is also CELEBRATING a birthday. Tomorrow we will have one more thing to CELEBRATE when Mariah begins her first day of school... hard to believe she will be in GRADE ONE already! She is super excited for it, too!!! On that note... here is my poem of the day! Life really has so many things worth CELEBRATION... And I'm all about revealing them through revelation! I love to share my life journey as I go along my way, In the simplest little fun things that I do every day. Life is like a journey, and it has it's ups and downs. It also has it's share of laughs and also smiles and frowns. But but why not make each day one that's fit for a STAR? Make the most of everything... and who and where you are. Dancing through the path we're on, make it lots of fun, CELEBRATE each memory... like a STAR QUALITY one! Although the DANCE is different, with every step we take, It's all about the memories we celebrate and make. Life is about loving it, and making it worthwhile... It's all about doing what ever makes your heart smile! Live each day just like a STAR, enjoy the simple things... CELEBRATE each and every day and all the JOY it brings! |
