My Baby is a STAR on Skates!

This weekend we traveled to Duluth for Teagan's first ever out-of-town skating competition. We left the frozen tundra of the Twin Cities and drove straight north. The temp fell from -3 to -11 by the time we arrived at the Inn on Lake Superior. You couldn't ask for a better weekend to be indoors and watching a winter sport. Really, I mean this with all my heart! :)

First things first, a gift and a door sign from her Secret Skater - who could it be?!

Then we were off to the rink to watch the other skaters. It was so fun to sit in the crowd and cheer on the other skaters and then out of your seats and off to the other rink for more events.

Finally, on Saturday morning it was Teagan's turn to skate in her Freeskate event. She did an AMAZING job. Her goal was to NOT FALL and she didn't fall; in fact, she made it look so incredibly easy! She was rewarded with a 4th place medal for her amazing routine!

Her cheering squad was so proud of her, as was her coach - the one and only FANCY NANCY!

Teagan didn't know her grandparents were in town until after her event and she was SO excited! For the rest of our Saturday we went to The Edge waterpark hotel and celebrated Nolan's birthday. It was a good (and warm) break from the DECC and Amsoil arenas. We had so much fun!

On Sunday morning Teagan had her second and final event - Compulsory. She rocked that event and placed 3rd!! On the podium she goes!!

It was a fun and very successful weekend! I am so proud of my ice dancing princess!! She's a rock star beyond belief with the hardware to prove it!

"Let's Get Crazy" - Skating Diva

It's that time of the year again - time for the annual Brooklyn Park Ice Show. It what makes all these Monday night skate practices worth the running around. Teagan is very excited about the ice show this year because she is no longer in Snow Plow Sam - she's in the Skating School performance! She couldn't be happier with the music she gets to skate to - Let's Get Crazy by Hannah Montana!!

She's also very excited that one of her good friends is in the ice show with her. Here are some shots of Teagan and her friend Summer from Ice Show Picture Day:

She's also very excited to have a "big girl costume" this year. The ice show is the last weekend in March so more to come for sure!!
