dancing with the stars: couple number 9
Over the weekend, I was nervous about two things…
First, Rick had called from his dance rehearsals to say he was having trouble doing one of the lifts with his partner. Thankfully I remembered Jennifer Grey having the same problem with one of her lifts in “Dirty Dancing.” But at the end of the movie, she nails it so I told Rick not to worry. He should just shout out, “Nobody puts baby in a corner” to release some stress and he’d be fine.
My second source of anxiety…. I was about to drive to New Jersey with our 10 month-old twins (Rick and the girls were already there) and what if I had to pee? I couldn’t possibly drag two babies into a bathroom stall with me. So I did what mothers everywhere must be doing, I packed a Tupperware container so I could pee in the back of the minivan in case of an emergency. Isn’t that why they installed the darkened windows anyway?
With the those two problems solved, I headed to Cherry Hill, New Jersey for the Dancing with the Stars competition.
Here’s Rick before the dance off…
I know I’m his wife and all, but I’m telling you he and his partner Alexis were fantastic. Seriously. No problem with the lifts which proves that my “Dirty Dancing” therapy worked. And I’m not the only one who thought he was good. Because here’s his trophy for winning!!!!
It’s a beauty! I can’t wait to baby proof it. And here is some very mediocre video of the dance. It looks as if I shot it standing on the moon. I will attempt to find you clearer, closer footage. But for those of you who feel like squinting for the next 4 minutes, enjoy!

THAT IS AMAZING !!! loved the choreography !!! and a little scared about having another baby now
[Reply]
Very cool. Wish we had been there. In fact, why weren’t we there? I should’ve looked into that.
You all must be very proud of him. Leila and I certainly are and Noa is proud of me and Dennis because she thinks that’s us dancing.
Leila wants to know how he picked his partner and wants to see the trophy in “real life.”

Been there. Saw it. Loved it. It was a great performance and every girl in the audience wanted to be up there on the stage with RICK!! I was most amazed at how your FOUR kids all watched the whole show mesmerized for all those hours! The TWINS!!! Leaning forward in awe!!?? Are they future Agents or WHAT?? And Dylan is, by far, the most enthusiastic CLAPPER of all! What a treat the whole night was! And I also want to see the trophy up close!!! Thanks for a fun time! PS. Back in the day, before tupperware, it was an empty glass mayonaise jar!! And that reqired AIM!! XXX F

Rick was awesome as I knew he would be!!! Definitely the Weiss genes. Oh, remind me not to borrow any tupperware from you.
[Reply]
How fun! Congratulations to Rick (and you, of course) on all his smooth moves. You should be a motivational speaker – I’m hiring you for a pep talk before my next trial.
[Reply]
Awesome moves Rick. You are a lucky mama, Kelcey. That trophy is going to look incredible up on the mantle.
[Reply]
wow! just think how fabulous you’ll look next time you two go out dancing now that you’re breasts are well rested and he’s perfected the lift.
[Reply]
WOW! I can’t add much more to what everyone else has written except that shot from the moon or not, your video was such a huge treat to watch and I appreciate that you shot it while trying to enjoy Rick’s moment at the same time. Thank you, Kelcey! Way to go Rick – awesome performance!!
[Reply]
woohoo! go Rick!! congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what news career?
[Reply]
It was so great to see you and those precious kids!! I can’t believe how good the babies were during the entire show. Rick was great, but what would we expect?? I think it was those “lucky nuts” that I gave him before the show!! Anyway, great to see you all, and congrats to Rick and Alexis on their big win! It was lots of fun!!!!
[Reply]
WOW! He did great. Did the girls enjoy watching their daddy? Congratulations on the win!
[Reply]
Yeah Rick! I knew he would win. So now it will be a big decision when I come over – do I look under Dylan’s bed for the raccoon skull first OR look for Rick’s trophy? Good thing I have a few months to decide.
Did you have to use the tupperware? xoxo
[Reply]
Wow!! Way to go Rick!!
[Reply]
Holy cow, he’s good! It wasn’t quite the same without the reflective pants, however.
