End of Season

Mitchell's basketball team played their last game tonight. Basketball is one of Mitchell's greatest loves. They were an wonderful team and learned to play incredibly well together. Can't wait for fall and the season to start up again.


I love this one. It shows Mitchell putting his tongue in his cheek. That's how you know he is seriously concentrating. He does it while taking tests, performing a musical piece and in sports. If only I could see that bulging cheek when I was offering my great advice and instruction to him.

Sunny St. George

We enjoyed a great, warm weekend in St. George. Blossoms on the trees, green grass, blue skies. And we got to come home to 6 inches of snow!

The Gift of Wisdom

Madelyn danced the part of "The Gift of Wisdom" in her ballet school's production of "Sleeping Beauty." She loved it!
If I could bestow any "Gift" upon my children it would be the "The Gift of Wisdom"

Transition

Tonight was a busy one for Ellie, marking a few events in her life.


The evening started with the National Junior Honor Society's Induction Ceremony for the new members and officers at the junior high. As a vice president, Ellie was part of the program and ceremony. This was her first step at wrapping up her ninth grade year and ending her junior high school experience.



As soon as that ended, we ran to the high school and registered her for her sophomore year...wasting no time moving forward.


The night ended at the Young Women's "NEW BEGINNINGS"....quite appropriate, I thought.

We were invited to get together with some great families to share a night of fun, food and MUSIC!


Starting out goofy!

A Little Macarena---Is that in the Home Evening Manual?
