MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

So I have this crazily talented sister who cracks us up all the time. If you look at the pictures I take of her, the majority of them are her smiling with a goofball face. Up until a couple of years ago I didn't realize she had this side of her. When I saw her in her first play Beauty and the Beast I was blown away and shocked. I didn't know that my quiet sweet sister had this sassy, funny and creative side to her. She really hams it up on stage and entertains all who watch her. She is mesmerizing whether she is playing a duster or in a Shakespeare play. This play was no exception and I once again was proud and awed by my baby sister who is growing up to be abeautiful, funny, talented and amazing young woman.

JOSH'S GRAD

In June we went to Josh's graduation. He graduated a year early at 17! We are so proud of him. He worked really hard so he could finish early and get a year of college under his belt before he leaves next year. He graduated with a 4.0 and took the ACT and got a 27. He will be ready to go to BYU next fall. He has been homeschooled since 5th grade and has been a role model in so many ways. He has done mock trials where he argued legal briefs, staged mock debates where he would debate both sides and has been in numerous Shakespeare plays. He is pretty well rounded and I love to bug him about how the girls think he looks like Edward Cullen. He and I have a Twilight debate going on. He hates it and I love it. Secretly I think he really likes it but doesn't want to admit that he likes a love story involving vampires.....

What a stud....We really are so proud of him and I know that he will do great things with his life.


In June



His graduation was unique in that each teaacher got to tell about each graduating student. It made it more personal.

It was a rather long ceremony......



The kids favorite part was the cake and drinks afterwards
