Catching Up!

Grandma Sharon is here and I thought I would take a minute and post some of the things that we have been doing lately before there is more to post. So here goes. Bridger graduated from preschool (Okay- he did- but he didn't. He is old enough to start kinerg. next year- but we are holding him back one year- (long story that starts with decisions with our first child) So he will go again to preschool next year- but it was super cute that Miss Kori had a graduation day for all her students. Nolan had a recorder concert before school was out. I have been trying to download a video on the flip- but it is not working- aarrrgh! Anyway-when Nolan played his recorder for us at home- he was playing fine- but it sounded so squeaky. But when we went to see all of the 4th graders playing together- it was pretty awesome! (It sounded really cool!)

Carlita Bonita is now a new member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She did a great job (even though her toe or hair bobbed up and Jon had to dunk her twice and the water was ICE Cold)- other than her shaking violently afterward- it went quite well!

Oh! and I was asked to give a talk at her baptism at which I bawled like a baby. (It is not every day that your ONLY baby girl makes such an important decision.) (The kids who were baptized from our ward)

It was a great day and her friend Camri was able to be baptised that day too. It was cute to see them compare their "cold water" stories (and giggles.)

See Ya' after next week!!!

"Calgon...Take me Away!"

I'm gonna have to take a blogging break this week (unless I find time...somewhere!?!) THIS girl is doing THIS on Sat. To learn more about this go HERE. We are busy preparing for that and 3000 other things that need to be done before the kids get outta school. And Scout Camp is next week (did I mention I have a scout calling). It seems like we are busier these next couple of weeks than we have been for awhile. (Isn't your schedule supposed to get easier when school gets out?)

See Ya' Next .....Whenever!!!

P.S.- Do you think I could put a sign in my laundry room that says:

"For Same Day Service:

Do it Yourself!"

Dinosaur Valley

Every year the second graders put on a play called, Dinosaur Valley. Neither of the kids have ever had a speaking part (They just sang with the other 2nd graders). So you can imagine my surprise when Carli came home and announced that she had a speaking part. What was her role in the play??? She was a Cycad. Duh? (Actually it took me a minute to figure out that she was a type of plant). (Cycad # 17 to be exact)
She only had one line- but still- I was so excited!!! You know there is a small amount of pride that a parent takes on when they get to watch their precious lil' one perform on stage ("Yes!- that is MY child up there!"- nod, nod...wink, wink)

She gave 3 performances today. I went to the morning one (which Nolan also saw cuz it was an assembly for all the students at the school) and Jon and Bridger went to the one this evening.

We got her on the Flip- recorder- but it doesn't zoom in very far and I can't edit the video- so it is kinda long- but she is the 2nd one to speak.

She says: " Not to worry! With Terry's thick hide, he doesn't give a hoot! Besides, in the opinion of Lady Triceratops, Terry's right cute!"

Hollywood here we come

(okay- maybe not!)
