TommyLog – Clara’s Going to Nationals!!

You did it, You did it, YOU DID IT!! What an amazing accomplishment! You did IT!! To think here is little Clara in end of 6th grade, coming to mom and dad asking if she could join the dance team. “The dance team we thought?” You hadn’t taken any dance in your life. You didn’t’ even know any dance moves…at all. But you had a plan. You knew the extra time it would take; you knew you would need to study extra hard and at different times to make room for practice. You knew it would cost money and had a plan to pay for uniforms, costumes and competitions. Your practiced and practiced and practiced and as a member of Chuting Stars you rocked it. You couldn’t even do the splits or kick above your shoulder level, but look at you now? You rocked all the competitions and then JAM… you were the best in the state!

Now high school, you are a superstar inside and out. Your mind is top notch as well as your body. Top match, top GPA, top netflix watcher ☺

You tried out for the Little Chute High School dance team and made it!!! Competition after competition, we watched you get stronger and stronger. Kicks getting higher and higher. We watched you get grow from you little girl to you beautiful young lady.

Each and every time I watch you dance, I get teary. I know I’m a wimp, but the passion you have for dance shows and that’s why YOU ARE SO GREAT! I love being your dad and I love watching you soar!
Congratulations!!! I am so proud of you!

I LOVE YOU, Dad!

TommyLog – State Dance Champions!

This weekend was just so AWESOME! Clara in the Little Chute High School dance team participated in the state dance championship which was held in La Crosse Wisconsin. What an amazing sight to behold to watch one of your children participate in such an event. This is a pretty big deal!

Watching Clara in her element is pure magic. Watching her kick routine and her pom routine brought me so much joy.

Her team finished first in pom and first in kick. WOOT!

The competition was pretty fierce. The sportsmanship that was shown by all the teams was really great.

As they were preparing the results, I was just such a wreck. When they announced the winners I was totally crying. I’m such a softy, but when you see your kids in their element. The pride gets the best of you.

Congratulations Clara and congratulations everyone on the dance team. You worked so hard. Next step, Nationals!!
