Performing Arts Tour!


Well, we are in the countdown to performing arts tour! We have only 28 days until we leave. This will be our last time to go since Daniel is graduating in June. Robert and I have the priviledge of flying down with the directors wife early this time and we don't get to ride the bus overnight (bummer?!) We always enjoy seeing our students perform at Disneyland and other locations. They get to attend some awesome workshops at Disney and some of the colleges and other places in the area. One of the highlights is the performance at Easter Mass in the St. Pius Catholic Church. Especially since we got all this lovely snow in the last two days, we are looking forward to some sun and fun. (yes, it is fun even though we are there with about 160 teenagers!) Daniel participated in the Solo and Ensemble festival last week at school. His solo and his ensemble group got high enough marks to be sining in the Region solo and ensemble festival tomorrow. He is pretty sick today, I hope he will be well enough to participate. Christopher and Brittany are doing well, we don't see much of them since they are both working full time and going to school as well. Nathan and Stephanie are enjoying their classes as well. Jessica and Cole and Kyle have their own blog if you want to keep up with them. Rob is still working hard on his music for the temple dedication. Jessica and Cole will get to attend the dedication on Saturday, March 21 in the temple. Rob will be in the temple on Sunday for the 11:30 session. The rest of us get to watch at the stake center on Sunday to hopefully see Rob on camera for at least a second or two. We are looking forward to this occasion. We enjoy reading everyone's blogs. I echo the question that Melinda wrote about why people do or don't comment. I usually get VERY few comments, I guess I don't have many readers!

Renaissance Feaste


This last week has been very busy! We have had the Renaissance Feaste at Hillcrest. Daniel, being in VE and the choir president was Lord of the Feaste. All of the VE kids and Chorale kids dress up and do a Renaissance show with music, Hamlet, dinner and much more. This was our last year to participate. I am in charge of costumes, making sure the kids all look great and also all of the food prep and serving. I had two women to handle the organizing of the food and all of the food prep. I had nine moms on stage with me serving about 250 people each night for three nights. It is a really fun event that is a fundraiser for the choir. Yesterday, on President's Day my girls and I went to the Shade clothing sale at Provo High. I don't think I have ever been anyplace that had that many people in that small a space at the same time! We got some good deals though. Then we got some stuff done for mom and dad's party tomorrow. The activities never end!
