A quick little update!

It is absolutely crazy sometimes how much can change in a year.  A year ago Ted was finishing a musical at candlelight Harley had just turned 4 and little miss Hayley had just turned 2.
One year later we have just finished our first studio musical "Smokey Joe's cafe." and are getting ready to gear up for a 3 week intensive musical for the studio at the end of July.

In the last few weeks my roll has changed a bit. I have gone from full time mommy, nurse, story teller, gourmet cook, and secretary. To a new roll of full time mom part time secretary/business owner for Reedy studio. I have found my passion for dance again with choreographing Smokey Joe's with my husband. My girls have gone from seeing me as "just mom" to mom who works. It has been an interesting change in my world to say the least. Working again has made me realize that the chaos of our girls growing up is fantastic! From the spilled juice, to the gold fish stuffed in the back of my car crumbled beyond recognition, to dance parties and singing the same songs 3000 times!

Harley is now 5! She had her birthday in April. Most kids would have asked for toys and coloring things. Not our girl she asked for clothes and promptly set out to do a fashion show as soon as the present opening festivities were done! She is sugar and spice and everything nice with a little bit of sass. She has her very first crush on a little boy at school and I for one am not ready for this world. But it has been an interesting ride watching her get flustered by this young boy. Our generally take the world by storm and take no prisoners child for the first time gets flustered for words and blushes. Anyone want to donate a Rapunzel tower?!

Hayley turned 3 last week, something about our youngest being 3 just seems down right odd to me. She is our little girl who knows what she wants and takes it! She is very opinionated and strong willed and we adore her for it. Her favorite things in the world are playing with her sister, and pocket princesses. She would spend all day long outside if you let her, or in her room happily singing to her self! She keeps us on our toes and doesn't back down, if on the rare occasion she wants to snuggle up to you, you drop everything you are doing and you snuggle!

Ted is still working at the high school and getting ready to wrap up the school year, I think he is more then ready for days full of sunshine, and pool trips. He is also still working in the private studio, so if anyone wants a voice lesson come on over!

Life is good! And we are excited to see what this next year brings us!

Much Love,

Megyn, Ted, Harley & Hayley 

A year in Review

A year in Review 2012!

In January, we had lots of dance parties. 

Ted was working at the High School, and working our private studio as well.

We also went with my family to see the ice sculptures up in Breckenridge. 

Hayley was switched into a big girl bed!

February: Phineaus and Ferb became the "new" favorite cartoon around our home. We had a couple photo shoots with the girls.  Harley decided to cut her hair, mommy cried! *Luckily she cut it underneath, so I could hide it*

In March my mom and Julie *her french foreign exchange student* came up to visit. Ted bought me wicked tickets! Harley had a class recital for dance. 

 April: Our sweet girl Harley turned 4 she had a party that friends and family came to! I also had a Birthday. Ted and I went and saw "Wicked" at the Buell. Ted was in "Oklahoma" at Candlelight. 

May: little miss Hayley turned 2, we spent far too much time at the park. Ted was still in Oklahoma. Teds mom and brother David, came down from Washington to come and visit us!

In June the Waldo Canon fire broke out in Colorado Springs, watching the news from afar was quite difficult! Seeing the place you grew up and call home burn is a very surreal experience. Harley had her first ever recital on stage! She tapped to "Cotton eye Joe." And they also did a finale dance, but I can not remember the song at the moment. Oklahoma ended!!!! We got to spend so much more time as a family! We had a family photo shoot!

In July our good friend Royal came into town, him and Ted celebrated their Birthdays together *they're born on the same day* Our little family spent a lot of time at the pool. National dance day happened. For the 4th of July we went to "estes lake" and borrowed a friends canoe.

In August we took the girls to the Denver zoo, we had our studio recital. Ted went back to school to teach. And Harley started Pre-K.

September, Ted opened the show for "Skyline Idol." The girls and I decided it was time to start making delicious baked goods!

In October the girls were Batgirl and Robin for Halloween. Ted had his first gig with "Red Cloud Road." Harley also had her first ever field trip to the pumpkin patch.

In November we went down to my parents for Thanksgiving. We decorated for Christmas. And closed the studio for a full week to enjoy Thanksgiving break!

December seemed to fly by with two full weeks off from school and our studio. Baking yummy Holiday treats, playing far too many games.

This year has been full of good, bad, hard, fun, love and laughter. We are so grateful for every opportunity that our little family has been given to grow. We are excited for 2013 and all of the adventure it has in store for us!

Much Love,
Megyn, Ted, Harley & Hayley
