Kendra told reporters, "Being the 1,000th time with Louis and dancing "Yankee Doodle Boy" on top of that, I was so proud, so happy. I went into the dance super excited and so proud. Almost to the point that it was goofy. I took it serious but had a great time also."

This was a drastic change from last week which left Kendra in tears! Chalking it up to the tunes, she added that's never danced to opera before. "The very sad song was a downer," she noted. "I'm used to dancing with a style. So that was the mood of the night last week."

Plus, it sounds like taking a break after the somber competition was just what this mom needed. "Last week we spent one whole day...we did our dance 15 times in a row, then the next day I came in and did the song great. So I came home and grabbed baby Hank and took him to the park. That's what I needed."

As for the mood last night and their scores of 22 out of 30, that can best be summed up by Carrie Ann Inaba's comments: "This is the most confident that I’ve ever seen you. Whenever we are commenting we are always trying to help you, and look what it did. You’re a fighter! You’re a fighter. Most patriotic dance of the night.”  Go, Kendra!
