The "Wind it Up" dolls
Backstage at dress rehearsal...Ella got to watch from the side and get out of the kid's room for a couple hours...200 hundred kids...those poor volunteers...usually to never volunteer again.
This is me attempting to take a picture with Ella and Cole after the show.
The teacher dance this year was Pinnochio's I've Got No Strings. I was a dutch puppet with Miss Sabrina, Miss Carina was the russian, Miss Courtney and Nastasha were the can can puppets and Miss Cari was of course Pinnochio. We laughed so hard choreographing this dance...Cari was hysterical. She is now 5 months pregnant...is that carma or what?!!!! Ella got to be the fairy who turned her into a real boy.
Ella was a Jack-in-the-box this year. I loved this class and the song. I got it off Party like a Preschooler...so funny, you have to check it out.

By the way, in case you are wondering, this is the lipstick I wear on a daily basis....
Ella awaiting her big moment.

This was the boys Power Ranger break dance. They are actually really good...the little one is so cute...his name is Dunkin and I want to take him home. I told Brian I wanted to put Cole in something like this one day...pretty sure that's not happening.

Seriously too cute for words!! It took me back in time! I love dance recitals! Your little girl is so precious and of course you are the most gorgous thing around! Love the bright lipstick! I wish I could have been there to watch it! I would have LOVED it! Miss you and Love you!
You're amazing Rach. I'm very impressed and I think you pull off the outfit and lipstick beautifully. Ella is so old and Cole looks way older than my Grant. Guess it is time for #3 :)
That is a huge accomplishment Rach- you look gorg in your lips and Ella is adorable, surprise, surprise. I'm utterly amazed at my multi-talented friend. I could never imagine doing something like this! I wish we could have been there to watch!
Rach - you look great!! Love the outfit and I think the lipstick is your color:) I'm pretty sure we need to catch up since it's been like a year!!! Hope to talk to you soon! Love reading your blog and staying up to date! Love ya,
First of all, I'm mad you've been holding out your best make up tips from me. Secondly, I'm wondering if there was a dance off between prego pinocchio cari and prego african warrior princess rach... who would win? Holy crap, I am making myself laugh really hard right now trying to picture it!! I love you!
Oh so much fun! What a cute idea. Ella looked adorable! and you looked great in your little costume! I thought that maybe it was your outfit of choice for the recital! You know all dressed up and fancy :) It looks like good old sunburst days. Lipstick and all!
Oh my gosh Rach, your pictures are so cute! It looks like all your hard work has paid off, I am sure it was an amazing performance. I love the toyland theme. Ella made the most perfect fairy ever, I am sure she was the star of the show. And you are right, after seeing the boys in the power-rangers costumes I could never imagine Brian letting you put Cole in something like that and teaching him a dance. Thanks for sharing your pictures. Hope you can get some rest now.
OH MY HEAVENS!!! RACH, they are so cute!!! YOU ARE MY SWEET DANCING BUTTERFLY!! You actually make dancing look fun. You always bring out the best in everything you do, I miss you tons. If you ever live by me, MAYBE I will take 1, ONE, dance class from you, or maybe more if we can do that one popcorn dance from Ricks....LOVE YOU!!!!
Wow you've been busy and still look as gorgeous as ever. Tell Ella she looks beautiful!! Hope all is well with you guys. Sure miss ya!

I sure wished you lived closer so you could teach my baby girl. I'm afraid she took after her daddy in the dancing... AND Singing department. I was sad when Brian called tonight saying he was in Midway but didn't bring the fam. It would have been fun to see you. We are planning a Cali trip hopefully in September and maybe we can swing by and see you... Ella looks adorable but I have to say she still looks a lot like Bri... Love the red lipstick. I'm pretty sure you should wear in ALL THE TIME!!!
ha! so cute! I'm pretty sure I will never see my Liv in a frilly dance outfit so maybe if she hangs around your little Ella than maybe she'll rub off on her :-) I love your outfit! You look amazing!!!!!!!!!
Please wear the dress and lipstick to church on Sunday. I need some entertainment. :)
Speaking of So You Think You Can Dance, you guys watching this season? I don't really have a favorite yet. There is no Chelsea Hightower this season.
See you guys later this week!
Hey Rach,
You make a lovely dutch puppet. And that's some hot lipstick, I've really gotta get Melissa some of that!
