"South Pacific"

Tooele High School needed 2 kids for the play "South Pacific" for the characters Ngana and Jerome. The kids practiced like crazy and stayed up way to late for a 1 st and 3rd grader. But they did it! They were double casted so on the days they didn't play Ngana and Jerome, they were island kids (which is what they are doing in the pictures). When they were island kids they would join the cast and also did a couple of dances including the Hakka. When they were Ngana and Jerome they had a couple of lines in French and sang a song in French as well. McKailey is already saying that she misses her new high school friends. But boy, am I excited that is over. They was stressful for Mom.

My little Alie is in Preschool

My little Alie was so excited for preschool this year! She was most excited to ride the school bus-until the school bus came. Then she screamed while getting on the bus and left for her 1st day of school totally screaming. It was so sad! However, she came home as happy as can be and was so excited to tell me about the school bus and her 1st day of preschool. (I think she was excited to learn that the school bus will also bring her home when she is done. )

Braxton and Brandon's Triathlon

So this post is very late, but hey-better late than never. Braxton wanted to try the craziness too so we roped Brandon into doing it with him. Hey-always better to do it with someone. So, they swam 50 yards, biked a 5k and ran 1 mile. Braxton's time- 26 min and 45 sec. 4th place in his age group (8-10 year olds) out of a bunch kids. The whole way home Braxton kept saying "this is the best day ever." Oh great, I have a little Alex (someone who can't get enough of races).
