Grant in Crazy for You

The musical was a great success! The kids did marvelous and everything came together for the Friday and Saturday.

Crazy For You

So EXCITING! It is finally here, LPA's production of CRAZY FOR YOU!!! They are performing at Davis High School this Friday and Saturday. Show starts at 7pm but preshow is at 6:30 and the matinee on Saturday is 1:30 w/show starting at 2pm. Come watch Grant tap dance on the roof as Wyatt! I've been so amazed and impressed with him this year, I was way to shy at his age to perform like this and he has learned so much this year! Amazing what Mr. Stokes can do with these 7-10th graders!! It will be awesome. I will also be there for all three shows so come find me and say hi!!

Also, every year there is a fundraiser in May for MS at Viewmont High school. My sister plays guitar and I am so sad this will be the first year I miss it since moving back home. She is awesome and fun to hear. It is this Friday night. Good Luck Kat!! If you want to hear her music you can look her up on itunes under kat tingey.

Pinewood Derby Tonight

Ok, this is our last cub scout (first year I know, so we have a couple more races ahead of us). So Ethan drew out the design of his car and our amazing neighbors, the Merrills, helped us cut it out. Isn't he so handsome and proud.

I was picking Grant up so I sent the camera with Victor and Troy and got a play by play of the entire race. Here is the track...

Opening exercises... Max conducting (he had an awesome BYU car).

Waiting for their names to be called to enter their cars in the race... exciting.

Ethans first race...

His car came in second place...

The next race he again came in second place and when he raced the other 2nd placers he came in third and was then out of the race. But his car did pretty good and he thought it was great he came in 2nd twice. Grants first year of pinewood derby his car came in first every race until the final race and he came in second and the tears spilled and he was terribly upset. So I think this was much better to be in the middle and stay in the middle than to be winning and get it pulled out from under you. Grants third year his car came in last almost every race, we obviously quit trying.

This is when I arrived and he smiled and showed off his car for me.

He got the award for most modern design... awesome!

My Poor Suburban

Yep, my poor car. Ethan and his buddy we throwing rocks onto the roof, who knows why boys throw rocks at or onto things. Well they missed and hit my back window (with a rock the size of a quarter) and it completely shattered. It was a pretty big mess, I'm glad I didn't have anything in the back of my suburban, it's been filled with props and dresses for the musical. I should go take another picture, because it was raining the window now has garbage bags taped across the back! As Wendy would say, good grief!

So should I start a pool of bets on what will be next. My mom says things always happen in threes. So far this year I've replaced the back bumper and will now replace the back window..... what will be next?

Garden

I love to start plants indoors and then transplant them to the garden the end of May. So above is around two weeks and below is the same plants at four weeks. We are trying some watermelon and cantalope this year and they seem to be the ones growing like crazy.

Below is Victor's art work

Last Night was the school Art Show/Fundraiser. It is fun to see the kids perform the songs they've learned through out the term and to see all of their art work. They mat and hang the kids art work through out the entire school and then the kids get to bring home the projects they have done during the semester. So the pictures above are of the kids performances and of their art work that they brought home. Then there a some short clips of their performances.

Grant smiling?

Look at that good looking smile! Yep, Grant got his braces off this week. Monday, April 26, 2010 at 8:30 am to be exact! And just in time for the musical. So he gave me a great smile to make up for not smiling in pictures for the past 18 months.
