Rocking Out!

Hopefully I am not the only one...but one of my favorite things to do with my kids is turn on some LOUD music and dance our hearts out! It is super fun and I recommend it for all! Sammy and Nate love it and it is so much fun just to be silly with them every once in a while! I teach my kids little dance moves but mostly I just like to watch them "freestyle" and make up their own things! The problem is...usually Ben stands back and watches us dance and says "I can't dance" or "I don't want to". I try so hard to get him to participate but he won't (he must get this from Benson..definitely not a Jones trait). Today, Sammy and I were dancing and Ben came in and started dancing with us...he even invented a "surf dance" which is pretty much self explanatory and he dances like he's surfing! I loved it! I had no idea that boys had this fear of dancing at such a young age! But I do know that his future wife (and all the girls at the stake dances in the future) will thank me for teaching him to let loose and ROCK OUT!

First of all LOVE the new colors!!!!!on your blog. And Second.....good job on the music. I thought I was the only one that danced around with my kids. We also sing into our hands. Cuz we all want to be rockstars also.

Way too many spelling errors in my comment above so I had to delete it! :)

Way to go! I still remember you telling me how you were dancing at playgroup and all of the kids were just staring blankly and then Maya made some funny comment to you.

We also love to dance and since we don't have curtains on those front windows that are up high, I always think that someone is going to spot us! :)

Oh and the new blog is bright and fun!

Well sad to say I use to have dance parties with just myself. Now Payten has them with me but she just stares at me! Soon she will be a dancing fool too. It is great that they can feel good about themselves and not have a care in the world.

Hey! It was so good hearing from you! I hope you guys are doing great. You're family is so beautiful! It's so crazy that we have kids that are getting so old! I feel like I'm still the silly teenage girl from Corona. I guess that's why I dance silly to loud music with my kids too! By the way, you are more than welcome to stock my blog, I'll be doing the same to yours now!

He's a dance machine! The girls in his future really will appreciate your hard work! Everything is better when you dance... cleaning especially. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who dances with my boys. One of our favorite things to do is jam to the Hairspray soundtrack. You just can't help but smile!

And to clarify about the Britani blog comment. I had planned on sending you both the same message but added more to yours, so don't feel bad. It defiantly was as much for you, if not more. :)

Oh I love a good dance party every now and then! And I got blessed with a hubby who will get right up and shake it with us (not to rub it in or anything ;) I'm just teasing, we love to dance tho!

I love dancing with loud music and the kids. My favorite move to do and to watch is the robot. Everyone loves a good robot.

Love love love the dancing! So cute that Ben opened up a little and let loose. Love the polka dots on your blog. I've wanted to refresh mine as well, but it has just been one more item on the to-do list! Ugggh!
