Zumba in Slovenia

I was looking for a choreography for the song "Tacata" and I found this instructor from Slovenia. She is really good  and I thought I would share it.

Sisters In White

Yesterday we had our Stake Relief Society's Sisters in White.  I got to the temple at 6:30 a.m. and stayed there until 3:00 p.m.  I had a wonderful day at the temple.  The week prior I got an e-mail from Matthew, the young man helping me with my genealogy, he told me to check the new family search site because he had had much success with my dad's mother's side of the family. I could not believe how much he had done.  I now had over 60 more names.  The Stake RS president asked me to help with the sisters doing the baptisms.  She would help them out the font and give them a towel and I would be in the bathroom to help them with anything they needed.  A couple of times I opened the door to the font to check on the baptisms and I could hear my family's name as they were saying them during the baptism.  It was awesome to know that they were getting baptized.  All of my female baptisms were done!! I asked if they were doing male baptisms and brother Taylor said that he would make sure my names would get done and they did also!!!!  All of my family names were baptized yesterday.  Even though I was busy greeting and helping the sisters I was able to do 16 initiatories for my family, it was such a wonderful feeling. On one occasion I felt the spirit so strong I started to cry.  It was an awesome day.  I still have a lot of work to do though.  But at least for now the baptisms are all done, which to me it is the hardest to get done.

Piano Recital

Conner got his certificate from when he participated in Federation in February.

With our piano teacher Sister Heidi Larson

Heidi and all the students

He got a goody bag and a trophy

Monday night was our piano recital.  Conner and I participated.  I get very nervous but it is a good experience for me to do it.  She has three adults students and none of us like to do the recitals. We all complain but end up doing it anyways.  I do it because it is good for Conner to see me participate and also good for me too.

Happy Mother's Day!

We took two pictures this morning and I did not realized that Parker closed his eyes on one and Conner on the other one.

For mother's day this year I got Seaworld passes and an iPod with an i home speakers so that I can listen to music and I can download Zumba music.  Brent made me breakfast and dinner. I am so blessed to have a wonderful family!!

Seaworld

We went to Seaworld yesterday. When you buy a ticket for one day you get to come back for the rest of the year.  Conner can't wait to go again.

Parker

Zumba video

My friends Johanna, Natty and I were at my house working on some Zumba choreography when we decided, for fun, to video tape a song that I had done choreography for.  It is hard to come up with steps but also so much fun.  This one song is for a cool down.  We did not have much room and we were dancing on pavers.  So it does not look all that great.  I did this song yesterday by myself for the first time at Karen's Zumba class and it was awesome!!  I also did it today during Johanna's Zumba class this morning.  I am going to start working on other songs.  We also did a Zumba video for a lady who is moving and she wanted to take it with her so she could do it at home.  She is a well to do lady so she hired a videographer and he video taped us.  We danced for about 2 1/2 hours and I was in most of the songs except about 5 of the 25 songs we did.  It was only 5 of us doing it so we tried to take turns but then Johanna and Maria (another lady) had to go and it was Karen, Michelle and I so we had to finish the video with no break.  It turned out so good. I have a copy of  it so I will try to put some on my blog if I figure out how to do it.
