I am struggling keeping up with the blog! I feel like no matter what season it is we are busy, just part of having 4 kids who participate in many activities I suppose!
We went to Kansas City a few weeks ago to visit my brother Kevin, his wife Amy and their daughter's Brooke and Kristina. Brooke and Kristina had a cheer competition and we were excited to watch. They've done competitive cheer for over 5 years and this is their last year doing it.
Darrell and I were also able to do a session in the Kansas City Temple. It's gorgeous!! When we went to the Open House Baylee was a mess, like a crazy mess! She was exhausted and freaked out when they put the slippers over her shoes. When we got to the Endowment Room one of the volunteers told Baylee there was a lady bug hiding on the painting on the wall. It calmed her right down- but Darrell and I were frazzled messes already.
Doing the session with Darrell it was so nice to be able to look around and I even saw the little lady bug in the painting. The Sealing room was beautiful- so incredibly peaceful!
The next weekend Lexi's choir was competing at World's of Fun and I was able to go as a chaperon. Lexi hung out with her friends and all the Mom's hung out- it was a really fun day. When it came time to perform Lexi's dress wouldn't zip all the way in the back. Luckily she wears a cami so no one could see bra straps, but we had to rig her dress for the 5 minute performance.
Her choir is amazing- they sound so much older then they are.
They sang 2 songs and then a judge comes and critiques them and gives them pointers. The judge came down and asked if they were Freshman and Sophomores! Their director told her they were 7th and 8th grade. She was blown away and had only positive things to say. She did remind them to show more expressions on their faces- but they say that to all of them.
When it came time for the awards ceremony they got 1st place!
