Warrior in Training

Practices are going strong.  Brendan has practice twice a night… once with the assistant directors and once for the main director.  Jacob has one practice per night – in the parking lot of the church.  They both started Tuesday and our family part started tonight, by the pavilion behind the church. Jacob came home from practice […]

Spotlight: Autumn

For fun (and perhaps to save time 😉 ) we decided to say one word to describe something we love about Autumn. Jacob:  Enthusiastic. Josh:  Humorous. Autumn:  I was just about to say, “Can I say one? and I would say funny!” Andrew:  Love. Autumn:  You mean loving. Katey:  Because she reads me bedtime stories. […]

Cast

Brendan received his part last night: {Doot doot doo} – that’s a trumpet fanfare.  And a trumpet is so appropriate because… Brendan will be portraying Angel Moroni’s Night Visit and when Joseph Smith sees the Golden Plates – alternating nights. I found out a little more about the process of casting.  I visit teach one […]

Cake and Kisses Celebration

A little reading… A little exercise… And a little eating… Our Nurses Day Celebration was so fun! We started out with Jacob reading about Florence: Autumn looks so contemplative.  I think Andrew is meditating. See Inside Your Body is always a favorite: The heart page in honor of Anna.  🙂  Four chambers of flaps to explore! A […]

1001 Words: the beginning

I’m working on having my photos tell a story.  Short stories are just fine.  I took this one last week. To me it simply says:  summertime. 1001 Words is a fun little series where I post (after this one with the description 😉 ) one photo + one word.

Storytime

Brendan said his second audition went well.  He said he did better  – “his best”.  And now we play the waiting game.  Not only do we have to wait until Sunday evening to find out what part Brendan has – we have to wait until after the opening fireside when they post the pages on […]

Try-outs

Tonight was the night for auditions for the Mormon Miracle Pageant.  Our family doesn’t audition.  We are doing group scenes so signing up was all that was needed – well, except for Meri.  She is going to be one of the babies in the scene when Christ comes to America.  She was cast last year […]

Settling in…

Last night before Brendan went to bed he asked what our family rules are.  He is such a sweetheart.  We told him we have two basic rules – 1.  work hard  2.  be nice.  We found these from an inner city school in New York and love them.  It pretty much covers everything.  He nodded […]

Cheeky Kisses

I treasure these moments with my little one. One of my favorite treasure quotes: “The most precious jewels you will ever have around your neck are the arms of your children.” I also treasure my hunny that is patient enough to get the shots that I have in my head. Cheeky kisses to you all!

The beginning…

Today is the last day to sign-up to be in the Mormon Miracle Pageant.  Today is also the day our nephew comes to stay for the month of June to be in the pageant.  We are so excited.  The last day of school was last Thursday.  Which all means, summer has started and it’s Pageant […]
