Echo Debut

After the kids' choir concert, their teacher Catherine allowed her son and Ch. (the two members of Echo) debut their band. They had really only practiced one afternoon and the friend is only 10, so we thought they did awesome! They had some technical difficulties at first because a child had kicked the amp and it wouldn't work. The song does finally start at about 1:15 on the video. It truly was exciting!

Our exciting summer event!

Our exciting news comes from Sandy! Ch. has been given the child lead in "Seussical, The Musical" at the Sandy City Amphitheater. He had the part in Seussical, Jr. which is a smaller version of the musical and was a children's production. The Sandy production is mostly adults, and he had to go through a pretty long audition. It's going to occupy our entire summer, but we're all so excited for him! Well, Scot had a hard time with it at first. I started doing a musical (Once On This Island) here in Lehi and was having so much fun dancing. Scot didn't want me to have to quit the show because I was so excited to be a part of it. But.... when you have kids, and they have dreams.... yours come second to theirs. On the positive side Seussical is letting me be in their ensemble since I'm going to be taking him up there all summer. If anyone would like to come, the website is http://www.sandyarts.com/sandy-amphitheater/ticketsseating-chart.html

The performances will be August 14-22. I haven't danced in 20 years, so it should be entertaining just watching me :-)

Also, we went to Snowbird this past week and had a great time. We spent Sunday afternoon at Temple Square and saw so many great things. Everybody needs to take a trip down there and see the International Art Competition at the conference center. It was great! One afternoon we went on a hike, with M. screaming and crying large tears the entire time. That was fun. Afterwards we went to D.I. That really was fun! I love DI. I truly could spend hours there every week. It's a huge yard sale all in one building. What's not to love? To top off that afternoon , we went to Wheeler Farm and milked the cows. It was so nice to go with Scot. He's always working and never gets to go see things with us.

For dinner, we were going to go Indian, but then I saw Sweet Tomatoes and knew the kids would like it. We haven't been in a few years, so Ch. was the only one who remembered it. The kids thought they were in heaven! C. was almost hyperventilating about how delicious the salad was. After dessert, he wanted to go back for more salad!

Our other news is the loss of 2 teeth!
