You're a Good Man Charlie Brown

Rachel had such a great experience and opportunity to be in this cast. She did an excellent job and the kids are just amazing. I apologize for so many pics but I have over a hundred. :) I'm that Mom that goes to every performance and I have to hold myself back on taking pictures. So much of our family and friends supported Rachel.....thanks to you all! Rachel's teacher, Mr. Bills, is so talented and the kids love him. We all look forward to more plays and music over the next couple of years! I can't believe her sophmore year is almost over. Good job Sally!

Assassin

The kids in our chuch ward have been playing a game called assassin. Curt got this started with them last summer for a fun activity. Each participant received a name....a person they are suppose to "kill"....with a rubber band. The only catch is that there cannot be any witnesses. You have to be alone with your person and then shoot them and hit them with the rubber band. So, the game has been going since last June and he finally wrapped it up in March. Emily was the winner killing 9 people total. She was very tricky, even sitting in a truck with Curt for almost 2 hours waiting for an unsuspecting young man to get home from work. She has a blast tricking people and "killing" them. They just started a new game for the summer. We will see how she does this time....there are a lot people who want to get her!

Emi and her rubberband gun.

She even got a medal!

Student Council

Emily ran for student body again this year. Rachel helped her come up with this slogan and it fit her so well since she is Mommy to 26 chickens. :) After the voting, she made it in! I am so proud of her. She is an excellent student and a good friend to all. She has a great confidence about her and I can't wait to see what great thing she will do next. Way to go Emi!

I made her do this! :)

St.George

We went to St. George for a few nights over spring break. It was a very strange trip. Many things went wrong....our house that we had booked to stay in was double booked. So we are heading to St. George with no where to stay and the entire town is booked solid. We spent 3 hours making phone calls and finally found a home to rent, but it didn't have a pool. Our plan was to just chill by a pool and have a relaxing vacation. It was a nice place to stay and we felt blessed to even have a place to stay. Everyday we had little strange things happen, but we kept making the best of it, I don't want to go into it all. But, the sun was out and and it was nice to get away from home for a bit.

Here are some pics.

Snow Canyon....beautiful!

Someone built this cool city...Rachel and Emily were like Godzilla want to tear it down.

Don't worry, we left it just like that.

This is an awesome rocking chair at the Chevron in Beaver.

It was so cold....I had to get some hot chocolate.

Easter Eggs

Dying Easter eggs seems to be a last thought with the kids getting older, but the girls were willing. Rachel's friend, Colton came over to help us late Saturday night. We were laughing a lot!

Awe....sisters loving each other!

The girls dying their hair! :)

Walah! The finished product!

Building Snoopy's House

Rachel was given the part of Sally in the play "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown" at the High School. Curt and I enjoy helping out. He builds things, I do things at the school and where ever I can. I LOVE to be with the kids....they are amazing. But, Curt took on the huge task of making Snoopy's dog house for the play. It had to be sturdy enough for Snoopy to dance on. Just know that Curt does everything with perfection and I can say, this is the nicest (and cutest) dog house ever! ;) Here it is in the process.

Here is the final dog house with our nephews.

The beginning....making it strong and sturdy.

Rachel testing the strong factor.

Fresh coat of paint!

Almost done! :)
