It was fun to give up her crown to LILY FLANDERS!!

It is so fun to be back to dance as normal. Kaelie crowned her friend from In Motion as the new Rising Star!

At Nationals she won first place overall for Broken Wings!!!

The unfortunate year of the back brace

Kaelie is a little trooper! Dance competition season this year was pretty scary. We had 3 competitions this year all pretty close together. About a month before the first competition, I picked up Kaelie early from dance because her hip was hurting and she could barely walk. We iced, soaked in epsom salts and she got a little better. She got through the first competition but it was painful. Her hip quit turning out and so we went to chiropracters and doctors who helped her get her hip unlocked through the Graston method. The 2nd competition was frustrating. I ended up taking her to the emergency room because she couldn't walk. A back x-ray came out normal and they told us to follow up with ortho if it didn't get better with rest. We went to hte hip ortho who told us to just rest. We missed the last competition, and totally went to physical therapy and doctors almost every day. It took thousands of dollars and 2 months to finally diagnose that she had 2 fractures in her L5 along with a disc bulge at L4. She wore a brace for 2 months and totally quit dancing. Life totally changed for Kaelie. She was one dedicated dancer who couldn't dance. Her attitude has been great. One dr. told her it may never heal and after that appointment when we got in the car she said " I don't care what that Dr. said, I'm going to heal." I just love her positive outlook! She missed the Headliner show at school along with her dance recital. Now...the brace is off and national dance competition is in 2 weeks. She had to give up all of her flexy dances and will be competing only 3 numbers. But she is doing well as we have been taking ballet classes for physical therapy and she is slowly getting back into the swing of her normal lifestyle...dancing all the time. Here's hoping she can dance to her hearts content again!!!

CRAZY mexico vacation!!!!

Crazy because Chris couldn't go!!! The day before we were leaving,as he was trying to print his boarding pass, he noticed his passport was expired. He drove to Miami on Sunday only to find out it would be impossible for a passport to be issued on this short notice...so while we were checking our baggage, Ty called his friend Matt who was just waking up for the day. He packed his suitcase and we bought his ticket at the last minute and he came instead of Chris. We had fun! It was such a great place...Playa Del Carmen 45 minutes from Cancun. But, the reason for the vacation was to have one last family great time before Ty heads to college! I truly missed that family connection time but it was still fun!

Ty signs with the Gators for Track!!
