A Post From Will.

Before:

AFTER!!!!

Do you see any difference?

It's Over.

The Primary program is over. 

As is my substitute stint as Primary chorister. 

Man, I love that job.

One Friday, Three Awards:

Hannah won first place in her division in the Reflections art contest...

Will was ushered into Spring Creek's Hawk Nest, which honors students who have achieved "greatness" in 5 different categories...

... Hannah also flew into that nest.

A lot of excitement for one weekend...

Having Consumed Our Lives...

...for the last two months, 

Thoroughly Modern Millie opened last night.

Michaela was wonderful- we never knew she could tap, 
AND 

she had a one word solo-magnificent!

It was just fun, fun, fun to watch!

 Great Job Michaela!

This Is The Hand...

...that high-fived David Osmond last night (twice) 

at Liken's Jonah premiere.

Will's now a fan too.

Glenn Beck Came to Our Sacrament Meeting Today.

That's what happens when your husband tries to access his scriptures from the same phone that downloads his Glenn Beck podcasts.
We heard a 5 second commentary on Herman Cain.
Oh, it could have been much worse.
Luckily, even though he was sitting on the stand, it sounded like it came from the back of the chapel. 
A Sabbath miracle?
I think so.


Shabbat Shalom.

Freedom Week.

For the first time in the 12 years that my kids have attended our elementary school, this week we had Freedom Week. It was pretty cool.The theme was "I Can Be A Star For My Country," and each day had a different focus. It culminated in an assembly where we had a "real" color guard post the colors, two Iraq veterans come and speak, and my personal fave, each grade learned a patriotic song to sing. At the end, the school was presented with an American flag, and a Utah flag that had been flown over the state capitol building. There was such a great patriotic feeling, hopefully it was felt just a little bit by those hooligans.
It was a perfect way to celebrate Veteran's Day.

Anticipating the excitement...

Feeling the excitement...

Pretending excitement....

Fighting the excitement...

Creating excitement...

The Fifth and Sixth graders sing a medley...Hannah's in there somewhere...
