Show Choir Party/Fiddler Fun!!

Sarah and Amy had a very fun weekend!! Friday night they went out to Silver Diner for a "Cast Bonding" dinner with the Cast of "Fiddler on the Roof" It was an exciting week of auditions, call backs for both Sarah and Amy and then Sarah getting the very sought after roll of the daughter Chava!! Amy is thrilled to get a call back, one of 2 sophmores, and pleased to learn and grow in the ensemble and patiently wait for her big junior year next year!! Saturday night Sarah hosted, as one of the Show Choir Captains, a Show Choir party at Mom and Dad's house. They had SO much fun and there was a huge turnout!! Sarah should be so pleased. We BBQ'd, the kids brought side dishes and desserts, they danced outside, played volleyball, sang and played Just Dance on the Wii. It was more action than that neighborhood has seen in years!! The kids all made Sarah bring her Grandpa down as a celebrity as they were very impressed with all his books, especially his anti-Bush section!! I am very happy when my girls are happy :)

Amy's "Nerd" Dance!!

Amy had a lot of fun at the Back to school Stake Dance that she and her friends dressed up as nerds for. Amy enjoyed wearing all of her straight "A" honor roll medals with her nerd glasses with the masking tape on them. They still looked pretty darn cute :) The tragic part of the night was when someone got pushed into Amy and into her nerd glasses and she got a big cut above her eye. We decided when she got home that a trip to the ER was needed to check for stitches (much to the displeasure of Amy!!) so at 12:30 Tom and Amy headed off and she came home with 3 stitches above her eye!! At least the dance was a blast!!

Welcome Home!!!

We were all SO thrilled when the big day finally arrived when Mom and Dad came back home from their Mission to Bogota, Columbia!! Oh how we have missed them and were SO excited for them to get home. We all went to the airport with big signs ready for their arrival and could not get anyone to let us know exactly where they would be coming out!! We finally figured it out and had such a wonderful reunion. It was made all the more sweet by a surprise visit by Phil and his whole family who we were not expecting until much later in the week!! What a great family time we had :)

Sister Love :)

I love summer because it is such a great time for us all to reconnect. I love that my girls are so close and have so much fun together and can always count on each other!! That does not mean they don't have their arguements or fights over clothes but they have SO much fun together and love to be together and are so supportive of each other it warms my heart!! I love these girls SO much and am so blessed to be their Mom!!

Cousin Love

We all love a great ride in Grandpa's truck!!!

Amy's summer of Fun!!!

Amy had such a fun summer with daily activities with many groups of friends!! They had trips to the mall, they were very into tie die, they would tie die everything around, they were VERY into photo shoots of themselves at the creek with dramatic poses and lots of clothes changes, LOTS of sleepovers, movie nights, trips to the pool, the list goes on and on!! They are such a fun group of girls who I adore and it was a super fun summer :)

Sarah's Senior Year!!!!

Sarah is SO excited to be a Senior and is loving her first week of school as a Senior at High School!! Last weekend she went with Annie, Amy and Lauren over to the high school and decorated the big rock in front of the school which all of the kids spray paint all the time with different sayings, birthday wishes etc. to kick off their senior year!! They also decorated Annie's parking spot and it looks so cute!! Annie and Sarah are darling seniors and it will be a really fun year!!
