This is a record of the WONDERFUL experience my family had during the summer of 2005 when we all participated in CATS ON ICE!

Make-up and Photos!




It's been a busy week again.

What made it wonderful was we had another rehearsal at the Lon Chaney Theater on Monday and then on Wednesday we got to practice getting make-up put on us!

Then on Thursday, we put on make-up again and had official photos taken.

Wearing our full costumes with make-up got us SO EXCITED!

Painted SETS!




Today we got to go to Sertich in messy painting clothes and help paint sets for CATS ON ICE!

Kelly Baker brought these wonderful pictures she drew of CATS and Rebekah was so impressed!

Annabelle even got paint on her feet!

We painted trash cans and cereal boxes.

While we painted, Mommy subbed two of the Learn to Skate Classes for Sertich Ice Center.

After painting, we watched the Sertich Learn-to-Skate Recital. DeeDee's son performed at the end of the recital. Wow, he's a great jumper!

Then, we went and watched more of The Broadmoor Open and bought a bunch of stuff there too. Rebekah has a beautiful new red and white dress and Annabelle has a skating dress that looks like it is from the Wizard of Oz.

We saw some really good skating at The Broadmoor Open. Joel's favorite event was Novice Men. Everyone was impressed with the ice dancers and pair skaters.

Got fitted for our unitards today!

Today we went to Assemble Dancewear and got fitted for our unitards.

Joel is very happy that the boys WILL NOT be wearing unitards, but black under-armour instead with black pants.

The unitards are just plain white, but DeeDee will dye them.

We ended up buying a bunch of stuff for skating and then went off to Chapel Hills to practice.

We skated all day at Chapel Hills since we didn't have to rush to a CATS ON ICE rehearsal.

Our first rehearsal at the Lon Chaney Theater!

It's been a busy week of off-ice rehearsals. Tomorrow, we have an ON ice rehearsal at Sertich, but today, we got to rehearse on the stage at Lon Chaney Theater!

Rebekah and Annabelle decided to wear their best "theater clothes" for the occasion!

They looked so cute in glittering pants and shiny jazz shirts. They even put glittering bows in their hair!

We went through the entire show on the stage! We can't wait to do the whole thing tomorrow on the ice!
